ECS output?

[QuikSanz]

Thinking about an up-scaler for the games machine. What is the video output of ECS after it goes thru a SD/FF?

Thanks in advance.

Was thinking of a VGA to HDMI upscaler but they look to only work at 50/60 Hz.

One of the ones I was looking at but if you dig into the specs most of them will only go down to 480x640@60Hz input.

So does a floppy booted game have a better than 30Hz output on lets say a spectrum, Cybervision64 3d w/sd/ff or a Pic4?

I don't even understand this question.  You started out by asking about Amiga output when run through a SD/FF.  If you're running native Amiga video output through a SD/FF, for example an Indivision ECS, it's going to output all modes at 31KHz.  Different SD/FF's may offer different capabilities.

If you instead hook up a graphics card like a CV64, PIV, etc., you're going to get the benefits of whatever graphics mode you use, which is completely variable depending on the modes and capabilities of that particular graphics card.

A floppy-booted game is not going to take advantage of any of the capabilities of a graphics card. So if you want to promote a game to run on a display device that doesn't sync to native 15KHz Amiga output, you're going to need to use a SD/FF (i.e., Indivision, GBS-8220, DCE ScanMagic, AGA-2000, A2320, etc.).

I do have those graphics cards and the all display ECS games on boot from disk. My question is will they be compatible with any upscaler?

That may be the way to go, Some have RGB RCA inputs!
I asume no FF/SD would be needed at that point.

There's plenty of ways of hooking multiple monitors up to an Amiga at the same time, but without software & driver support (to send different signals to each screen) it's pretty pointless.  I know Jens was working on a way a couple years ago, but I think he got sidetracked.  

Not sure how doable that is without some fast FPGA,s. Simply won't keep up without.
