[WeiXing3D]

Is anyone using one of this? Any comments or suggestions? What else would be needed to use with A1200?

Do you have a link to the product/sale page? I'd like to have a close look on that myself.

That product works but not that well. Here are some pictures of when I tried it on my IIgs.


Produces horrible artifacts.

The desktop background is supposed to be solid blue.
And the progress bar is supposed to be red.

But in lower res modes it works fine ie 320x200

Uhm, but still better than my old Commodore 1084

I'm wondering how it'd work with an Amiga 1200?

There is another converter that works on Amiga: ACV-011, I personally did not tested it:

Double price the GBS, but cheaper then the Above scaler.

The ACV-011 looks interesting; too bad they don't sell those including the enclosures,

Does anyone here in the forum which cable is needed to hook up an A1200 to the Analog RGB HDMI To HDMI Video Audio Converter Scaler?n(see the unit here http://www.ambery.com/rgbtohdvisch.html)

you really don't need those
if a monitor have HDMI input means that will accept 15hz amiga modes through VGA input
 because those monitors have internal circuitry that do the same that the adapter scart to hdmi
so you will need only a normal Amiga VGA adapter+ a monitor with HDMI input

examples:

Dell U2410
Samsung  syncMaster 2493HM
BenQ G2420

My Samsung 21" monitor is a 1080p with VGA, DVI and HDMI connections. So which connector do you recommend to use with the A1200?

@djos - I have one of those scart adapters (it came with a BenQ HD TV I bought several years ago) and I also have the RGB HDMI to HDMI Scale Coverter recommended in the thread. Could you please let me know I will need to connect my A1200 to my LG HD monitor with HDMI, DVI and VGA ports?

Good news folks, using a scart plug adapter it most definitely converts composite and s-video to Hdmi along with the audio.

I tested the s-video with my TiVo and got a superb picture, really quite impressive considering and it shows "scart SV" via the osd.

The c64 via composite also produced a surprisingly nice picture considering, like really really nice, was hard to believe it was composite, only the softness and bit of colour bleed gave it away but it was a much better pic than my Bravia TV produces when fed the same signal!

Bad news tho, using my very cheap c64 s-video cable it doesn't recognise the signal as s-video (shows "scart av" on the osd) and as a result produces a truly aweful aweful picture!

I checked my S-Video cable and it does have the 300ohm resistor but my c64 still wont work properly with my SCART-HDMI Converter - seems Commodore video is just too far out of spec for it to recognize it properly.

c64 Composite does work tho and looks surprisingly good.
