Title: Indivision Alternative

Does anyone know if this board would convert AMIGA rgb to VGA?

Wow... That looks great and I bet it does work but you will need an amiga rgb to vga adapater dongle.
 
Says converts from 15k to 30k so I'm thinking this would work, and its affordable enough that I may take a chance and buy one...
 
Only problem is, in my experience stuff shipping from asia takes like 5 or 6 weeks to get here, I won't generally order anythin coming from asia if I can find it elsewhere...

I've seen these and often thought about getting some for my arcade stuff. As an Amiga user, I'd find it hard to believe it would be worth a shit - especially when translating PAL/NTSC. These products often disappoint though. Buyer beware!!

It's really hit and miss with the low cost Asian devices


Yep. I have a Craig 15" widescreen LCD that I use with my Tricaster becuase it's portable (weighs less than 2 pounds and uses 12 volts or something). Fits in an office supply wheelcart with my 3 canon hv30's and tricaster...

 It accepts VGA, HDMI, Component, RCA, Svideo. But it won't accept the output from the Individion in either 50hz or 60hz mode. It however works fine with the Sviddo out and RCA video out from the A1200 and cd32. It even does pal!!! So my CD32 pal problems have been solved!!!!!!

The ad says it can double the scan rate, but what about working as a flicker fixer too? I would bet not.
I would rather pay more, and get something I know will work!

I've got one of the single vga out versions and I've not been able to get a sync. The amiga has a 5v point to point on the sync signals and a .7v point to point on the vga levels. I'm thinking this device wants them to match. Anyone have any suggestions on making it work?
 
Me, I'm just shoving it in a drawer for awhile if no one has any suggestions and waiting for the next Indivision to become available.
