Native Amiga Video and TV Cards

[X-ray]

I might be saying something foolish now, but it seems to me that you are trying to get the Amiga to generate two different screenmodes at the same time.

But I don't mean in the same sense as I may have two programs running simultaneously, one at 31kHz and the other at 15kHz, and I can drag the front screen to see the other program running in the back screen, adopting the screenmode of the program in front, on my 1438s multisynch.

No. What I mean is a genuine two-monitor display, in other words running one program through the 15kHz video port and the other through the 31kHz VooDoo. It seems to me that if this was possible you would be able to watch a 15kHz native demo on your TV, while raytracing with Cinema 4D on your PC monitor, with  changes to the one screenmode not affecting the other.

I don't think this is possible. What I mean is that the Amiga is choosing what to display, and it either displays it through the 15kHz video port, OR it displays it through your Voodoo.

Am I right or have I lost the plot here?


edit: chose the wrong name for a 31kHz-friendly trace prog. Fixed it.

I wonder if he is displaying the AGA signal of the A1200 that does not have the mediator, on the A1200 that does have the mediator? He has two 1200s.
If he's doing it all on one machine, I am really curious how it works (and in need of enlightenment)

Hmmmm, this is something I didn't know the Miggy could do. What I want to know is this: if Jax gets that Lightwave screen running as a Mediator/TV window, is that screen going to be able to take input, or does the active screen still have to be the 15kHz one?
I'm probably not explaining myself clearly, but hopefully you know what I mean.
