Again my biggest thanks. I will play with it as time permits. Yes I had looked at the BOB4 sometime ago and it was only white from what I remember.
Eagle Tree ( http://www.eagletreesystems.com/inde...product_id=136) does color text over video, however they would not share any information to customize their product for other purposes such as a sub. This is why I went back to the STV5730. I spent many hours and days searching for a chip to use with no success. Logically speaking, if you can add color text to a fixed color background then you had to generate the background color as well as the color text and "mix" them to produce video. RGB is kind of a strange animal as it can be RGB video and a separate sync or RGB with sync for each color (R-G-B). Maybe I was searching using the wrong search words and missed finding other chips?
