Memory #36

Is it possible to store the data for the resolution in an external device? e.g 
SD card or RAM IC.

This would make it possible for larger resolutions, no?

Possibly in a RAM IC, but an SD card is unlikely. There are fairly stiff timing 
constraints on the TV signal, so whatever you hooked up would need to be pretty 
fast - you should be able to use an AVR with the parallel bus option to attach 
more RAM, but I don't think that is available on any current arduinos

No, the frame buffer must be in internal sram, sd card and external ram are too 
slow.

Now there are other methods that can use an external memory ic but that is 
outside the scope of this project.
