amiga 1200/ Indivision AGA mk2 problems

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

The Indivision should allow you to to connect to your display without any additional hardware.  When you say:

but once i boot up the screen goes black and i get the "No Signal" message...

What screenmode do you have selected in Workbench?  The Indi should automatically convert most standard screenmodes to display, but I can see it being possible to screw with it if you have some really odd screenmode set.

As a test, try a regular DVI monitor instead of going through a DVI-to-HDMI adapter?

Or this, for straight HDMI output from the Indi:

Oldsmobile_Mike, didnt you make a youtube video about how to change back to default screenmodes thru the cli? Basically deleting the monitor files to get workbench out of screen resolutions outside the monitors range...?

Why yes, yes I did.

That worked, although it seems i need to play with the right resolution. Would you happen to know the best/recommended one for an LCD tv?

Also, how do I get sound out of the DVI to HDMI?

Almost there...thanks again for all the help.

DVI doesn't carry an audio signal.  You need one of the cables like this:



If I was using an A1200 through HDMI on a modern LCD TV (which I'm assuming your TV is widescreen), I would try the HD720 mode.  1280x720, with AGA you can do up to 256 colors (ECS limits it to 4 colors), but it can be pretty chip ram intensive.

See this thread from a few days ago for more suggestions on screenmodes, also cooling tips:  www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70374

Unfortunately this isn't possible since my TV and/or receiver don't allow for mixing/pairing analog audio ins with HDMI inputs.

I guess i am stuck with no audio?

No, the RCA jacks plug into your Amiga, and transmit the data over the HDMI cable.  So you'll need a setup like this:

Ahhh that makes sense.

Guess i'll wait for a reply from  kipper2k for the HDMI converter, then order such cable. Do you know where i can find it for sale?

No prob.

Kipper2k is swamped making the Vampire 2 boards, but hopefully still has a few of those cables laying around.  

One other idea that others have done is to remove the RF module and put the HDMI jack there.  I think this a very clean setup, personally, but I know some folks are all "blah blah don't remove the RF output", even though no one ever uses it anymore, haha.
