Friday is "Go Purple Day"

TOTAL Marketing Declares Friday "Go Purple Day"
In Support of the TCU Horned Frogs and the City of Fort Worth, all of TOTAL Marketing will be Purple.

 
TOTAL CEO Ron DeVoe has proclaimed Friday, Nov. 13, "Go Purple Day" at TOTAL Marketing, along with the rest of Fort Worth. All dealers and manufacturers are encouraged to wear purple on Friday to show their support for the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs football team as they head into a key matchup with Utah on Saturday.

TCU (9-0, 5-0 in Mountain West Conference) sits at No. 4 in the Bowl Championship Series standings, the highest BCS ranking ever for a team from a conference without an automatic BCS bid. TCU is attempting to finish the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1938.
 
TCU and No.14 Utah kick off at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Amon G. Carter Stadium on the TCU campus. The game is sold out. The game is also being broadcast on CBS College Sports.

Hall Research
Hall Research Unveils VGA/HDTV Video Processor
 
Hall Research releases the SC-VGA-2B the newest member of its professional video processor line. This VGA/HDTV Video Processor allows any PC (VGA) or HDTV (YPbPr) video signal to be scaled up or down to any other PC or HDTV resolution or format. Advanced features, like X-axis mirroring, make the scaler suitable in many applications.

The SC-VGA-2B includes a video loop output connector, so the original video input is available for display on a local monitor. It automatically detects the input format (RGBHV/VGA versus YPbPr/HD Component), and processes it in real-time using high-speed digital techniques.

The processed video output is user definable to be either RGBHV (VGA) or YPbPr (Component Video). Furthermore, the output is easily configured to match the native resolution of virtually any display - RGB (from VGA to WUXGA), or HDTV (from 480p to 1080p).
