I wish you all the best Kat with your innovations and look forward to hearing of your progress. However, as already pointed out, the difficult bit is getting the 405 data off the PC into a form that a telly can use. Graphic cards present their own problems, this is I why I suggested outputting via a USB2 route to a simple device based on a PIC chip controller and D/A. Firewire video tends to be compressed and would involve another layer of realtime processing.
