Richard Russell designed a programmable test card generator which is no longer available. It is basically an address counter, a large flash memory and a DAC. It can be programmed with arbitrary data and he supplied software to support it.

Richard Russell has never designed a standards converter.
PS: Thinking about MurphyV310's comment about an 819 picture from an RTR testcard being sharper than from an Aurora. This seems unlikely since I am pretty sure the RTR generator uses a 12MHz pixel clock so the video bandwidth is inherently less than 6MHz. The Aurora uses a 13.5MHz pixel clock for the 625 input and an even higher clock rate (over 17MHz) for the 819 output.
