http://www.jammaboards.com/store/cga/ega/yuv-to-vga-converter-pcb-gbs-8220/prod_291.html <<---- VERY interesting
Please read it.
Would this effectivly work like a good scandoubler/flickerfixer ?
-
If it was me I would just save up another $60 and get an Indivision istead of taking a chance on that. It might work but the signal might not look great for the Amiga.
You never know?
You can also use High GFX sceen modes with an Indivision...
-
The way the indivision works means you'd get a much better picture. Go for that if you can afford it.

Afford it i can
Does it work with the A4000T ? Nope :(

At first I was going to say no because most of these devices only offer pass-through for the VGA signal.
converter supports all major RGB outputs from the following gaming machine PCBs and all other legacy computer video sources:
* Amiga
It would be really cool if it supported NTSC CD32's funky PAL mode with NTSC color signal :)

This thread has some screenshots (I think it's the same device, but???):

It's a shame it doesn't handle interlaced modes very well. Otherwise it's not bad, especially for games.
-
Looks like a decent solution, but I wonder how it compares to the predecessor to the IndivisionAGA, the Toastscan, or what ever the other name for it was?
-
I used something similar a year or so ago with a PAL A600. Interlaced screen modes still flickered and actually appeared worse. I use a flicker fixer now, and that's definitely the way to go.
-
Which Amiga did you want to use this on? Amiga 4000T?

If you are interested on Indivision 4000T write Jens or post in the thread about A4000T Indivision.
Avoid non-amiga pseudoscandoublers... in the worst case you can search an Arxon scandoubler on eBay or AmiBay.

I have the Indivision ECS/AGA for my main machines. They work great.
I also have a XRGB2 for other stuff. I was going to use it on my Amigas as well but the Indivision is better. The external solutions might give you a picture on a CRT monitor but a lot of the time they don't look very good on the LCD screens.
Noise in the picture is the issue. Anything other than playing games can get annoying.
-
1st link - Don't bother, got it - and it had a very poor picture / conversion. Un-usable.
2nd link - I dunno, Indivision works great but I didn't know A4000T could not use it.
-
I've got one of these and it works great. http://tvone.com/1t-dvi-vga-main.shtml
I seem to remember they aren't cheap though.

It's coming next year apparently....

Cypress CM-397. Not 24-bit so results in colour quality loss used with AGA games. External so suffers from Digital->Analog->Digital->Analog conversion errors.
