Great stuff!
I was asked a while back by some NBTV members if a version of the low cost converter could be made to do 30/32 line. By stripping out all the unnecessary bits like the audio section, the RF modulators, the FLASH memory and associated connectors, a unit could be built that would accept an NTSC/PAL input, and output 30/32 line video for cost of around $200 (about £100). It would still have selectable features of the larger unit like positive/negative video, gamma correction, etc.

Unfortunately there was very little interest in this project, so it never went anywhere.
