Switching monitors between AGA and Voodoo

[motorollin]

I'm getting one of these for Christmas. You can use a Amiga->Scart cable to connect to the unit, plug the VGA from your Voodoo in to the computer input, and the monitor in to the VGA out. It auto senses which is being used, so as long as VGA switches off when you use 15KHz it should change over automatically. There is a remote control to switch it manually should you need to. I plan to mount the unit inside my D-Box, hack apart the remote control, and wire the video toggle button to the reset switch on the front of the tower, which currently does nothing.

Really cool mod indeed, keep us posted please ; Oh, and what's a DBox exactly ?

I will do - after Christmas when I've got it  :-)

Oh, and a D-Box is one of these (though mine is the MKI - not sure what the difference it though).

I'm sorry to be the one telling the nasty truth, but here it comes: It won't autosense between VGA/SCART inputs. However, it will detect if you are using rgb or composite in the scart connector when using scart as input, but this won't do any good in your case. The whole manual is available here: Manual

I was too considering this product, but since it ain't totally automagic, I'll stay eith my mediator/tvcard -combo.

Oh well, as I said I'm going to hack the remote so I can toggle it with the reset switch on the front of the case. It's not so much hassel to press a button when I want to see the other output.

How does TV card input work for you? Does it work in WHDLoad games?
