Default Re: Standards Converter/modulator info wanted

1. Does a standards converter allow 625 programme
viewing on a 405 line tv.
Yes

Quote:
2 Does a modulator allow a 405 line tv to display pre-
recorded material albeit converted from 625 lines to
405 lines, and if so who can give this service.
Yes

3 If the above is correct,...can i buy a vhs cassette with
programmes of yesteryear readily available in the
shops but would then have to get someone to
convert from 625 to 405 format suitable for playing
through a vhs vtr then through a modulator then to a
405 line tv that then would display audio & video of
this tape.
Yes

Quote:
5 Using a camcorder or my old Ferguson vhs video- star
camera can i make my own version of tv in the late
50's & early 60's using for example bill & ben or a diy
replica of the BBC'S clock of that time this something
i have always wanted to achieve.
With a converter you can display any 625 material on your 405 sets.
