Converting TV signal from Amiga to HDMI?

+1 for the Indivision and the Kipper2K HDMI adapter.  You Europeans and your funny SCART connectors.  :p

Why the zipper-like pattern? I am using overscan on my Workbench screen to maximize the display, but since it shows up on games as well, I have no control over those.

Can't you just resize the display on the TV to get rid of these?  That's what I would do.

I mean, in the most technical sense, press the buttons to make it go away?    Nevermind, here's a better idea: use a border blanker to make the background color (gray in your screenshot) black.  Obviously not helpful in games, but better than nothing?

That's all well and good if you only have one Amiga and it's an a1200!

They make Indivisions for all models of Amiga.  I use them in my A500 and A2000 and would never go back, or consider any of these hacked up, "save a penny", jury-rigged solutions in these threads.  But, have fun with that!

The Indy's are about $200 aud each (~ double the price of an a500), that's bloody expensive - if Jens had any sense he'd make an affordable external version ... I know I'd buy it

Exchange rates are a funny thing.  Just checked my receipt, I paid $106 USD for mine.  Which is far less than the price of any Amiga around here.  *sigh*

What about the Sega Mega Drive? and the Sega Genesis? And the Super Nintendo? and every other 15Khz game console or computer?

Last I checked this was an Amiga forum. And the subject of the thread was "Converting from Amiga".  Smart ass.
