Also, since it's programmable, it may also be possible to do something like
have a push-button on the device - that the MPU will toggle different video
modes at the push of the button.

...Or, no buttons.  Maybe the little MPU could monitor the CoCo's VSYNC line
- to count how many times a loop executes between VSYNC pulses.  This would
allow automatically detecting wether the CoCo was 50 Hz PAL or 60 Hz NTSC
and set the video chip's parameters automatically.
