Any interest in a 128T mod blog?

damn you Red  you caused me to get my C128 out of the loft and hook it up to my 50" tele - composite video colour bleeds horrible... I'll need to get some convertor

Use the S-Video output.  It's not perfect, but it's much better than the composite.

Actually, I'm playing with tapping the S-Video signal directly from the VIC-II.  By passing it through a voltage divider and an op-amp, I'm actually ending up with a signal much cleaner and purer than what's offered from the video port.

If anyone's interested, let me know, and I'll share what I've learned so far.

Well, as you know, the video port already provide a S-Video signal.  However, I find this signal quite noisy (especially on my C64), so I'm trying to extract a decent signal directly from the VIC-II.

Pins 14 (Chroma) and 15 (Luma) on the VIC-II spits out an amplified S-Video signal.  By applying a voltage divider and an op-amp to "balance" the impedance (in the lack of a better word) I'm getting a much cleaner and leaner signal than what the video port provides.  I can take some pictures from the oscilloscope to prove this.

I'm sorry I'm a bit vague on the details right now, I'll see if I can look into it tonight.  I just got back from the hospital after receiving my second child, so I hope I'm excused
