ECS output?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

What is the video output of ECS after it goes thru a SD/FF?

It's whatever the output of the SD/FF is. :crazy:

Typically 31KHz.

How about this one?  It seems to include the right kind of audio connectors to work with an Amiga, includes a power supply, and appears to be fairly well reviewed.  All for the princely sum of under $20 bucks.  

If I had a TV that only had HDMI input (not VGA) I might try it.

One of the ones I was looking at but if you dig into the specs most of them will only go down to 480x640@60Hz input.

I don't buy it.  The first review says "Works perfect for Dreamcast", and I doubt Dreamcast is putting out a 640x480 resolution signal.  I think they list that only because no "modern" computer outputs lower than that, these days.  I'd bet 99% that this would work fine with 320x200 or whatever Amiga resolution, only issue might be with 50Hz PAL.


Edit: I stand corrected; Wikipedia says Dreamcast does in fact put out 640x480.  But I bet this type of device would still work fine with an Amiga.

I don't even understand this question.  You started out by asking about Amiga output when run through a SD/FF.  If you're running native Amiga video output through a SD/FF, for example an Indivision ECS, it's going to output all modes at 31KHz.  Different SD/FF's may offer different capabilities.

If you instead hook up a graphics card like a CV64, PIV, etc., you're going to get the benefits of whatever graphics mode you use, which is completely variable depending on the modes and capabilities of that particular graphics card.

A floppy-booted game is not going to take advantage of any of the capabilities of a graphics card. So if you want to promote a game to run on a display device that doesn't sync to native 15KHz Amiga output, you're going to need to use a SD/FF (i.e., Indivision, GBS-8220, DCE ScanMagic, AGA-2000, A2320, etc.).

and using two monitors at the same time?

There's plenty of ways of hooking multiple monitors up to an Amiga at the same time, but without software & driver support (to send different signals to each screen) it's pretty pointless.  I know Jens was working on a way a couple years ago, but I think he got sidetracked.
