I want an External Scandoubler for my A1000 I want to be able to use a new flat panel monitor.


AFAIK, a scandoubler/flickerfixer requires access to the digital output of Denise. On the 2000/3000/4000, this digital output is available on the video slot.

However, the digital output in the 500/600/1000/1200 is available only internally.

However, I am presently working on an analog RGB to Y-Pb-Pr converter that provides the same type of output as common DVD players. This converter is external as it uses the analog signal and it is fully compatible with ALL Amigas from A500 to A4000T.

Even if this is not a scandoubler per se, when used with flat panel monitors, the flicker disappears completely.

If your flat panel monitor has a component input for DVD players it would be compatible with that device.

Would you like to be a beta tester?



Huh?? First, an external scandoubler uses the analog signals from the RGB port, and will work will all Amigas. Second, the A1200 and A4000 do not have a Denise chip. Third, there are a few internal scandoublers which do use the digital signals, DCE made a popular one for the A1200/A4000, ICD made one (clipped onto Denise) for the A500/A2000.

My advice though is to be careful with scandoublers and LCDs, according to many they don't always play well together.
