Could this device make it "cheap" and easy to connect a VGA monitor on an Amiga?

I think this would work for Amigas that have component video jacks already (1200s, 600s, CD32s, others with a 520 box), as such a port is identical to those (the yellow one) used on games consoles.

That yellow jack is composite, not component.  
Composite is the lowest quality video out you can have, save for R/F out.  The device does suppor both however.  They call composite "AV" output.


If the device in the description can accept Y/C video, that would be a little better, and interlaced video would be somewhat readable.

And the device can accept S-Video (aka Y/C video)

To get component out of a stock Amiga - are there external genlocks that do this?  It's a little unsightly, but external Amiga genlocks are getting pretty common and cheap.  And this would make a solution for 500 users that would be ideal, if the genock could also output S-Video or composite video for TV use in addition to component video for upconversion to a VGA monitor...

Is Redmond cable still around?  

I guess I could go check, but that's a whole 5 minute drive by car!!!   Do they have a phone #?

Yeah - I clicked the link that Matt posted.  They are still alive and well!  Might be worth calling them to see if they have any excess exotic Amiga cable invenory they don't want.

Actually, I think this flicker-reducing idea of Anti's just might work.  It's really more of a question of what the quality would be.

Was that with the 1200's composite output?
