Converting TV signal from Amiga to HDMI?

[som99]

I used a Scart/Composite/S-VIDEO to HDMI converter a few years back on a A600, worked great but I bought 3 before I found a good one and also used it for other gaming systems like Super Nintendi, playstation 1 etc.

But the price of the converter I used was near the price of an Indivision AGA and later I just used it for old consoles and bought Indivisions for my Amigas.

If you find a good converter the picture can be good enough but you can get a few crap converters before you find one good enough.

Do you have the option to use VGA on your TV? Since I have had quite good luck with a few VGA converters and they are cheeper.

Be thankful!  Many (all?) of those VGA devices are no better than composite.  Try the SCART-to-HDMI, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I have had a few VGA converters which have given me a pleasant experience (also a few that where rubbish) but as said most of the good ones are quite expensive 130-150$+

I have had better luck with VGA converters then HDMI ones, but that can be just luck that ive stumbled across the right VGA converters.

@Djos, when saying soft do you mean somewhat motion blur like picture?
Ive seen HDMI recordings with a good capture card from that exact converter that Danbeaver was using with gameplay from a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and seems to be quite good and I don't notice any motion blur, I just ordered one to see how well it works

No it's not like motion blur, it's more of a soft focus appearance - it is quite noticable in games when a background stops moving because it suddenly goes from soft to sharp.

You can see it moving the mouse around workbench in the default modes as the mouse pointer goes soft while moving and then sharp when it stops.

Ill give it a go and see how it turns out, thanks for clarifying tho I got the Indivision AGA mk2 in my A1200 so this will be used for other old consoles, if it's acceptable ill rig it up to 15 of my consoles and build a huge scart/compisite switch
