| two questions,
1 - how does it interface with the amiga ? anything less than RGB is not very meaningful (I read about this scandoubler before and I remember it being RGB but you didn't specify in the news post, which is very important)
2 - does it handle AGA modes properly ? (24 bit color ?) my hopes are not high for this, cause it's based on atari video, which was never 24 bit AFAIK. most probably this only does 16 bit. |

| Yes, the most important question is which signal is used?
RGB or composit? |

| Hey Everyone,
It hooks to the back of each Amiga RGB 24 pin connector and it spits out
a signal to any ((( VGA )) monitor !!
As far as 24 bit colors etc etc I am afraid thats why we have the High end systems that use those expensive cards features in the 4000 etc and are serious hardware solutions
this is exactly what it is a classic
AMIGA scan doubler fix to go from (( RGB 24 pins to VGA 15 pins.. )))
Roy the designer and engineer of this scan converter
has put a lot of electronics's into this box...
Please keep the questions coming!!

| Cool!
The monitor for my old A500 (with 68EC020@40MHz and X-surf network card) broke down a year ago. Since then I was trying to find a cheap replacement. Count me in! Last edited by Geri on 07-Dec-2007 at 07:13 PM.

| I will take it for my Amiga 1300 that is on configuration but I don't like
that it can't handle 24 bit images.
Anyway I am thinking to get a new scandoubler/flickerfixer and this seems to be good.

| I have a scandoubler for my A1200 that I bought a few years ago, but it gets extremely hot, and it doesn't work too well with some LCD screens.
I'd like to know:
1. How hot does this one get during normal operation?
2. Does it deinterlace as well as scandouble (flicker fixer)?
3. Has it been tested with more than a couple of LCD screens?
4. How much would it cost?
I am interested, since my current scandoubler gets so hot that I've stopped using it. |

| This is a 16 bit unit so its a step in the right direction for now..
Joe...
Well I cut the resolution on the prototype down to 12 bits to test it there first.
I also added noise filters on the input of the prototype
which may contribute to test.
Tell everybody that the resolution will be 16 bit in the future.

| Yes, I'd like one also.
My wish list for this device, if it were to evolve some more, would be to have the following additional features, all in a single unit:
1. flicker fixer
2. PC mouse => Amiga mouse
3. PC keyboard => Amiga keyboard
With 2 & 3, you could use a regular KVM to switch between PC and Amiga, using the same monitor, keyboard and mouse. That would be awesome!
Or would it be really hard to add features 2 & 3?
I'd pay $150 for a version that did all that.

Okay. What happens with an AGA 1280x512 or even 1440x576 PAL interlaced screen? |

| This is great news!
I am really impressed.
I might buy 3 or 4 units but I would love the following:
1) Flickerfixer
2) Reduced in size, maybe as big as the external Power Scandoubler? Is that possible?
3) How does it work with an Amiga 1200 with a BVision, is there a switch somewhere to switch from gfx card mode to Amiga modes?
4) What price?
Great job!
