Scan Doublers

I was looking around e-bay tonight and came across this:

Is there any reason you couldn't use one of these to scan double and flicker fix an amiga signal? Some are listed as cheap as $120, about what a good Amiga Flicker Fixer seems to go for these days on e-bay. What do you think?

You might also want to have a look at the DVDO Iscan Pro/Ultra Series. Functionality is quite similar. Please note that the refresh-rate they output might be too low for most TFTs (especially if it's a 50hz-PAL signal). These devices are also quite expensive compared to "real" Amiga-scandoublers.

Actually, if you look at past auctions these are selling for as little as $40. That makes them less than most scan doublers I've been bidding on lately. I'm looking forward to hearing from M7VQM. If this would work the only disadvantage I see is it's size (rack mount). On the plus side, as this is designed for video there is a very good chance that the quality is higher than any of the external Amiga Scan Doublers available. I wonder what bit depth it supports?
