Hey everyone, I've received one of these adapters from AmigaManiac and it works great! Composite is sharper than the A520 and the S-Video is rock solid, no colour bleeding, no rolling, no distortion at all. You can admire all the lovely pixelart as if you had plugged your Amiga into an RGB monitor.

I'll be taking some pics of the unit and the output as soon as I can!

Thanks Nathan :)

Heya everyone! I have taken a few photos of the games room TV running Babylonian Twins through S-Video on my A500. Sorry about the size, but it's important to see the detail, and sorry about the angle I was on, the cord wasn;t long enough for me to sit right in front of the screen.

I'll post a link to a quick video we made once it finishes uploading to YouTube.

My TVs aren't very good, so hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to borrow an LCD TV and see how it looks though that!

Well, my silly little video finally finished uploading properly after a few tries. You'll have to excuse the way I look, it was very late at night and I don't wear makeup so try not to throw up.

Unfortunately there's just no way to show the sharpness of the video output like this, but it at least shows that there's no rolling, or dot crawl, which I find are the most annoying problems with Composite.

I'll take more pics and videos soon!

Here's the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTLvrhlNdyc

Hey guys. These adapters have a little switch on them for PAL and NTSC, so you just order the one unit, and switch it to whichever setup you have. Everything that scrolls seems very smooth, although there's always some motion blur from fast moving objects, but that's natural, not caused by the Amiga or the adapter.

I have made another video now showing my A1200 output through the S-Video adapter on an LCD TV. I'm so happy to see the monitor has a built-in flicker-fixer, so in Super High Res Interlaced with a bit of overscan it can fit any webpage on screen, and theres no annoying flicker. The LCD TV is a 19" MXT LCD1904HDD and it has a built-in DVD player, HD tuner, VGA, HDMI, S-Video, Component, Composite, RF, Coax, PC-audio inputs, so it will hook up to just about anything.

Anyway, here's the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kaz6fNpHYIg

I hope you enjoy the music :)
