Converting TV signal from Amiga to HDMI?

[andersbm]

Hi' all.

I realise that there are quite a few posts about how to get the best signal from your A500/600/1200 etc. to your TV/Monitor. However, I cannot seem to find any, which is exclusively about transferring signal from Amiga to a modern TV, with some sort of HDMI cable.

I can see that amazon and ebay have RGB-to-HDMI cables but the reviews are often VERY bad and I doubt that cables like that will work for Amiga purposes. Or what?

Does anybody have good solid experience on the easiest/cheapest way to get your Amiga out-signal into a HDMI cable and on to the huge and wonderful livingroom TV? :-)

All best,

Sillyness. (as above from danbeaver) All you need is an Amiga 23pin Video to Scart Cable from Amigakit and a scart(RGB) to HDMI converter. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SCART-HDMI-to-HDMI-1080P-HD-Video-Adapter-Converter-NEW-/400538432467?pt=AU_CablesConnectors&hash=item5d41f373d3
Plus a HDMI cable.  Not cheap but crystal clear video on a modern tv/HDMI enabled Monitor.

Looks good! And yeah, definately not on the cheap side - but hey, that's good tech for ya ;-)

On my wishlist for x-mas now. Does anybody know what to be careful of in terms of bad quality converters?

I used a Scart/Composite/S-VIDEO to HDMI converter a few years back on a A600, worked great but I bought 3 before I found a good one and also used it for other gaming systems like Super Nintendi, playstation 1 etc.

But the price of the converter I used was near the price of an Indivision AGA and later I just used it for old consoles and bought Indivisions for my Amigas.

If you find a good converter the picture can be good enough but you can get a few crap converters before you find one good enough.

Do you have the option to use VGA on your TV? Since I have had quite good luck with a few VGA converters and they are cheeper.

No unfortunately there's no VGA :-(
