RGB to PAL/NTSC adapters @ AUD$30-33 each!

These look interesting. Got a few questions for you.

-It looks like this is an up-to-date version of th A520 adapter (minus the now-useless RF stuff). Is that a fair assessment?
-This is probably my most pressing question: Let's say I have an NTSC Amiga. What happens if I put the Amiga into a PAL screenmode with this device attached (or vice versa)?
-And if weird things happen per the scenario above, can the NTSC/PAL switch be toggled while the power is on? Any chance of an autoswitching version in the future?

Thanks, and thanks again for your development work!

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure how to answer the first question :-S The old A520 uses a Motorola MC1377P...

I actually just meant from a functional standpoint, not necessarily a technical one, but thanks for the details

I ask about the PAL/NTSC stuff because I have a rather unusual video setup - a (rather lousy but sufficiently functional) S-Video/composite-to-VGA box plugged into a standard VGA CRT. Even though there is color loss putting NTSC machines into PAL when using the Amiga's built-in composite out, it does still display the full resolution (unlike my TV). I'm wondering if your new box will solve the color issue and continue to provide correct resolutions since it piggybacks off the superior RGB port.

I'm inclined to take a chance on it because at the very least it'll give S-Video output instead of composite. Could you post a photo of an NTSC Workbench on a PAL machine?
