SCART question
« on: March 23, 2013, 03:48:03 AM »
Hi: i have the chance of getting a Philips Matchline 33" TV. It is a PAL M- PAL-N and NTSC system. Among many other features, it has SCART connectors.

My doubt: if i connect my Amiga trough SCART, does the TV system have influence? I mean, if my Amiga is european PAL (PAL B), would i be able to connect it trough SCART and watch in colour, or it would be out of sync/black and white?

Thanks

Thanks for your answers.

Yes, my idea is to use that tv with SCART to Amiga RGB port. No doubt about that. I will invest in that cable for sure.

But...concerning different PAL video systems, here in Argentina, i would need a transcoder/converter (cant remember the exact name) to be able to see in colour and not b/w the european PAL tv system. So, i was wondering if this would be the same case with this tv which can handle argentinian/brazilian/american tv modes (pal n/pal m/ntsc). My Amiga is european, so i guess tv out is pal b/g/i, not the ones we use here.

To sum it up: if i use the scart/rgb cable do the Amiga and the tv have to have the same tv system, or it has nothing to do using this cable? Correct me if im wrong with this example: if i have an american Amiga using a 1084 made in germany, using rgb cable, will i see it in full colour? And viceversa.

Please somebody confirm me this! Im talking about a 33" lovely Philips crt tv, which i think i will also be able to use it with many consoles as well ;)

Thanks!
