Default 819 line standards convertor.

Hi Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

It's my first post in your forum and I'm French so, don't be afraid concerning my language.

I'm repairing old tv set from 1950 to 1970 in B&W with Tube.

You can find some of my post in France in FORUM RADIOFIL.

These Tv work at 819 lines.

In this way, I'm actually building a Video generator based with the NEXYS2 FPGA kit.

I've already finished and tested all synchros regarding the exact specification of the 819 French TV signal signal in VHDL language.

Ok, I know, actually my soft only give a black sceen.

If someone have some interest about the VHDL code, I can give it.

My next try is to store an picture in a Flash with these setting => 737 lines and around 1000 dots=> not very funny to test long time a tv with only vertical and horizontal stripe and to check the real quality of these tv.

I've just finish a soft to convert a BMP to a .coe file( coe file is used to flash rom in the a Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA).

Then, if this run, I'll try to make a real time converter from SECAM 625 line to 819 B&W.

I know AURORA do it but it's just a personnal challenge because I learn C and VHDL from few months.

Concerning SECAM at 819 lines, some tests were done.

It was tested with a flower> a rose but for reason you know probably, they stop everything,> these system need a very large band to transmit the signal.

Hope I don't disturb everybodies.

Have a nide day.
