FPGA chips are expensive. The trade off is field upgrade.

The WC-01 world video standards converters I use for making NTSC video

The gentleman who designed this device has a great collection of working
Pre-WW-II television sets, both all-electrnic and mechanical-with Nipkow

He designed this unit for himself and other collectors so they could
have real 'period' video signals to display on their nicely restored sets.
