Scan Doublers

[amigadave]

I posted a question to confirm that the RGB input #4 also gets doubled if it is 15.5kHz (like from an Amiga) and output as 31kHz.  Very interesting item, specially for Toaster/Flyer users.  Thanks for the posting of this.

That 1404 looks interesting as a possible scan doubler for an Amiga, but the specs show two possible problems.

1. finding a proper cable to go from the Amiga 23 pin RGB output to the 1404's component RGB inputs (unless you are talented enough to make one yourself, which I am not).

2.  the minimum RGB resolution input accepted by the 1404 is listed at 720 x 525.  I think this would pose a problem for some Amiga programs and games which open their own screens at fixed resolutions less than those numbers.

FYI,

I forgot to get the link, but there is an external Apollo scan doubler/flicker fixer on eBay listed today.  The bid is currently under $20 US.
