That won't work well. The only signals permanently available for PLL input are 
the QL sync signals and they are not stable enough to generate a decent pixel 
clock to feed TFT monitors.
I'd use a separate time base for output, and decouple input and output via 
screen RAM.

Not the same hardware then. It would require faster RAM, more RAM, much better 
A/D and D/A conversion, and a more complex logic.

I think you can give up that search :-(
It only works with a modified video chip, and that only for a minority of 
monitors.

All the best,
