Video options for Stamp?
Hello all!
I am looking at output to a tv (composite)·for a project, and was wondering what options are out there other than the ones I know of:
EZvid
Hitt Consulting video
I need color, I would like it to be high resolution, fast processing, easy to use, etc.
The EZvid 2.0 is a close match, but I don't like the low resolution capability. (188x254)
Does anyone know of alternatives that can be used with the BS2 or other controllers?
Also, what about the propeller...· Does it have built in video out capabilities?· If so, what resolution is it?
Thanks!
Dave

HDTV is a different story - you'll easily be able to show 1280 x 720 thru a VGA/HDMI connector.
I just want a clear image that is not pixelated.
Higher resolution = better antialiasing (reduction in jagged edges) right?
If there are no other options out there, then I will probably get the EZvid 2.0.· I just wanted to make sure I reviewed all options
See my previous message about the number of characters that can be displayed on TV. For reference, check out the video specs of this $700 NTSC character generator - 32 characters x 17 lines www.mastervideo.com/201mct3201.htm
I think I can use the ezvid for the simple ones, but it would soon not be enough...

So you are saying that a newbie with some background like me could get up and running with the propeller pretty quickly? I saw that they recommend that you have experience before getting this chip.

I'm not saying it's a walk in the park, but not a big leap from the BASIC Stamp.· If you were planning on doing what you wanted with the Stamp, this is comperable in complexity.· With the demo board, there is built on hardware for a RCA jack to the TV, or there is an new board coming out around Christmas with holes for the RCA jack and a solder area for your own parts for under $20.
