1. You might be able to try feeding a double scan image.
It's probably worth a try.
2. Don't get confused between:

I) Composite - basically luma+chroma mixed together, which is rgb all mixed(+sync)
II) Luma-Chroma - two signals, 'Luma' is for the brightnes, and 'chroma' is for the difference of blue and red, compared to the brightnes, which is sort of green. don't ask me exactly how it works
III) Component - component has the same basic 'Luma' signal as above, but the chroma-red, and chroma-blue signals are different
IV) RGB - Seperate signals(wires) for red, green, and blue

Remember also that there are the analogue & digital versions of all the above except I (and probably II too)

My 1084 at least has SCART.

The 1084 was sold with several different connector configurations. Some have Scart and others have the DIN connectors. Some have both.
Funny. All my 1084(s) have 9-pin D connectors!

My well thought out Amiga 1000 still has a port where you plug a RF modulator into. It seems to be the same separated composite port that fits a C=64 128 video cable. In it you can plug in a cable designed for a 1702 monitor that has separated chroma and luma (hey just like S-VIDEO before it came out but different size connector)..

Someone used to make a cable that plugged in that did 64/128/a1000 to SVIDEO direct using that same port.. Also someone made a composite/S-video adapter for the RGB port that was broadcast quality for cheap. I remember that in toaster world magazine.

Hope that helps some..

I'm not 100% sure, but I have one of those cables(not an A1000 computer however), and from memory it wouldn't work with my c64.
I don't think the pinouts are the same. :-)
