Remember that composite video software decoder thing I made to teach myself DSP? It turns out a guy in my city got fascinated enough by it and wanted to give me a tape with a distorted recording that some decoders have trouble with to see what mine will do, and "a PAL -> SECAM transcoder" that he didn't need.
The transcoder turned out to be this beast of a video mixer. I guess I do analog video now... By the way, my decoder is somewhat crap with signal this clean.

This thing is quite impressive, at least to me. It can take 4 signals that don't have to be in sync with each other and do clean switches and transitions between them. It can also overlay a logo on the output. The inputs and the output can be SECAM or PAL in any combination. You can probably run a small TV channel with one of these.
