Amiga RGB to S-Video
« on: April 22, 2005, 12:02:46 PM »
Hi All,

I'm having to consolidate my computers due to a big life change (my wife is pregnant with our first baby - hooray) and something I am loking at is running my DIY-towered A1200 through the TV-card of my PC - less monitor space. I've had the Amiga running trhough the PC using the composite input of the TV card but as usual it is slightly blurred and pinkish (same on the CD32 when using composite so not a one-off hardware fault). One thing I did notice through is that interlace modes are not flickery! Sadly no screenshots due to the way that PCs handle video.

Enough waffle - down to the issue: I would like to build an Amiga RGB to s-video-in (AKA S-VHS) and I cannot see what pins on the Amiga RGB output would match. Is this something that is possible or not? (I can't afford to get a dual-sync screen or LCD TV/Monitor that will take Amiga and PC inputs)

The pin-out guides I used are:
S-Video: http://www.theavguide.co.uk/svhspinout.html
Amiga RGB: http://www.ntrautanen.fi/computers/hardware/misc/amiga_rgb.htm

Thanks,
Andy

I may get time to have a look one day. I originally thought there may be a quick cable I could wire.

Thanks for the help.
