Hi.

I don't know if I have this right but here goes: What is the actual resultion from a composite Line In? Is it 704x576? Or does "resolution" not hold true to a PAL television signal?

Thanks in advance!

576 vertical lines is approximately the number of lines containing useful picture. Horizontally, there is no defined resolution. The amount of horizontal detail (and thus the resolution required to convey it) will change with each source. 768x576 (2-field square pixel) is the highest resolution you're ever likely to encounter.
