LOL!!!

Actually, it should be around 40$ CAD.

I've had a real hard time to find a way to "clip" the color levels properly. I'm in what we call the NTSC problem or "Never Twice the Same Color"... :roflmao:

I changed the design alot and now I'm using a ready made color conversion matrix on a chip.  This chip was designed for new gaming console in order to convert RGB signals to Components / S-Video / Composite video signals. :razz:

Prototype will be arriving soon from the shop so stand by for more news about it's performances.

In the mean time, check out if your LCD TV is compatible to 240P. Fast way to test it is to connect the Amiga monochrome signal into the Y input of the components port. If you have an image, bingo, you're good!  If you have a "no signal" message , then your TV can't interpret 240P.  You can try put your Amiga into interlaced mode (480i). The image should appear then.  You need another LCD screen.  Most Sony Bravia and Samsung TV are compatible.

Cheers!

Or, enjoy that classic monochrome gaming and pretend your Amiga is a Macintosh.


:roflmao:

The RGB-Component converter solution is to bring the Amiga video port into the 2000's era. (HDMI would be 2010's). Problem with Indivision is that it does not work on non AGA Amiga, which is my case. I'm offering an alternative at a reasonnable price. :hammer:
