In a previous life, I used a separate hardware device to broadcast a
Linux box's slideshow of school photos over a school's Channel One
system.  I plugged a VGA cable into one side, power into another, and
RCA came out the other side.  I ran that through the usual equipment
to get it to the cable head-end, but that's not a problem for you (I
assume).

I have *no* idea what the manufacturer or model were.  But it was
pretty durn simple, so I wouldn't rule it out!
