Title: A4000 composit output
Post by: nex4060 on November 17, 2005, 09:19:56 PM

My question is: Can you get a color composit output from your A4000 without the need for a converter like the old commodore TV-converter?

Am I right when i say that the A500 composit output is only black&white?

A used genlock from eBay is way better (might even do SVideo, composite is :-P).

AFIK, the A1000 was the only desktop Amiga model that had color composite output.  The A500, A2000, A3000, A600, A1200 and A4000 only had B&W composite output (if they have composite outputs at all. (obviously the CDTV & CD32's had color composite outputs).

@amigadave

The A600 and A1200 have color composite output.  The A3000 and A4000 don't have composite video output at all.
