[Coco] Re: CoCo to SVGA converter?

Correct Mike. Because you don't  have to squeeze the two chroma 
signals into tight bandwidths, you can get a bit better chromanance 

Actually the signals have been around for decades. It is just that 
only recently has the consumer market realized the potential of 
"Component Video".
