Hi Frank,
I rarely pop in here, but I must say your work on a standards converter is incredible. It was mentioned in VRAT. I've always had mind to build an electronic one (I did make an optical one in the late 80's!); I'd just love the challenge. I had completely failed to realise how inexpensive these FPGA's are. I think it may take me a while to get my head round the programming, as I'm more used to programming PIC and more often Atmega microcontrollers.
I've now ordered the parts and a board as described, and look forward to constructing your converter, and maybe having a tinker myself.
Thanks.
Doz.
