My A500 "project" pics, details, build log?

Multiple cuts 90% of the way through the mdf, then bend it

The RGB scart to YUV adapter arrived.... then I couldn't find the scart cable

Anyhoo! pics should follow soon.... this tv has some interesting results, but once again, I need it to compare scart to yuv, and svideo

[AmmoJammo]

The conversion from RGB scart to yuv/ypbpr is a fairly simple addition/subtraction, and not much more.

I dont think it does anything with the sync signal, as the ypbpr will accept the 15Khz, but it may modify it slightly, to make it more compatible with more TVs

It doesn't stretch the image, the tv does, same as if you were to connect scart, or the GBS, directly to the TV.

I'll have more of a fiddle with it over the weekend.

This TV seems to not photograph well.... I started off with a DSLR, but had to switch back to some crappy camera to get an ok pic....

guess which is which?

[AmmoJammo]

options are actually YUV, Scart RGB, Svideo

Should have plugged the GBS in, but this wasn't my proper testing just yet anyway...

[AmmoJammo]

If you guess right, I'll tell you its right

Maybe I should plug the GBS in and find some new camera batteries...

[AmmoJammo]

Bit of YUV, GBS, svideo

not resized this time.... but, I dont think it looks any better...

The GBS actually seems to look somewhat better on this TV

All my cables are very low quality though.

1. Svideo
2. YUV
3. GBS

However, as I said, this tv doesn't photograph well.

YUV is slightly better than the svideo.... but using scart rgb directly connected to the tv actually gave the worst picture... (not including the gbs) :p

the scart to yuv adapter also has the ability to adjust all the colours, and contrast, I spent about 10 seconds fiddling, so I'm sure you could get it better

[AmmoJammo]

The tv scales it.

[AmmoJammo]

The tv stretches it.

[AmmoJammo]

The device outputs what is being input. It doesn't change the resolution or the aspect ratio. It Dmdpmt stretch or scale the image, the tv does!

[AmmoJammo]

The yuv input will always be stretched to full screen. You can plug a composite signal into the green connector and the tv will still scale it to full screen.

[AmmoJammo]

If you have multiple Amigas, Sega Mega Drives, Master Systems, or Super Nintendo consoles, (or others I'm sure) that have what is basically a scart rgb output, it makes sense to get one of these so you can get the best possible picture on a modern tv

[AmmoJammo]

As you are probably aware of, I made up a circuit that was basically the same as this device, and it worked on two other tvs that didn't accept 15Khz.

In fact, this TV with the scart input won't accept the Amiga input on the vga connector either...
