blegh. only does up to 1024x768 input resolution. however what i was referring to is in section 4.0 (p32) of the datasheet, you use the serial port to tell it what modes its input is set to, as well as what the output mode is.
so, you get the general idea - it's just a pity that chrontel don't have any more modern products but they'll be quite likely to be other manufacturers... i just want to make absolutely absolutely sure that some ICs actually exist that aren't EOL.
anyone got time to go over TI's web site and others? it's too frickin awkward to do this kind of research from china... unless it's a chinese web site (which of course is bloody hard to find because it's not properly indexed / search-engine-referenced) but if you _do_ find one let me know as the speed is quite quick from here.
