Converting TV signal from Amiga to HDMI?

[bbond007]

Does anybody have good solid experience on the easiest/cheapest way to get your Amiga out-signal into a HDMI cable and on to the huge and wonderful livingroom TV? :-)

All best,

For the A1200, If you want to skip easiest/cheapest and just got for the best then I'd suggest Indivision AGA with kipper2k HDMI adapter. I wasted money on several less satisfactory video solutions prior to getting this setup.

If you are not in need of a RF modulated output then you remove the RF modulator box and put the kipper2k there.

good luck

That is the best advice for an A1200.

i'm also thinking of getting this:

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011405&p_id=8124&seq=1&format=2

that way in theory my AUDIO would be transferred over HDMI (to my receiver) as well.

I guess using this you could skip the kipper2k, but I'd just use a small DVI to HDMI adapter because I already have the kipper2k adapter.

Side Note:

Those SCART to HDMI transfer audio as well if you use a SCART cable (like Amigaikit's) that allows it;  that being said, MonoPrice is a company with a stupid name that sells excellent products (I have at least 2 of theirs) for reasonable prices.  

They even have features they don't advertize: my 5-port HDMI switcher automatically selects the signal varying the most, but allows selection via the remote or just a finger wave in front of the IR receiver.

I actually bought a SCART to HDMI adapter (from deal extreme) and an amiga SCART cable, that being my only SCART device I was never able to figure out why it did not work. I'm guessing not all it was the dx adapter and not the HDMI adapter from amigakit.

4 pages of discussion when the solution was nicely summarised by paul1981 in post #5.  

The indivision not only provides the best quality output but also provides 1024x768 and 1920x1280 resolutions.

unless I'm mistaken it does not do 1920x1280 but can do 1280x720p. Or maybe they created a new video mode recently and I missed it. That would be nice.

yes, I also agree...

I tried all sorts of stuff prior to this, but nothing that worked consistently well with all Amiga video modes. The money spent on that junk is gone. There is no reason to go down that route if you can get an Indivision AGA MK2. The situation was different when the Indivision AGA (original) was selling used for $300+ USD and people were desperate.

I mean (technically) if you  want the cheapest/easiest solution for HDMI on Amiga, the best solution is to skip the flaky old hardware all together and run UAE
