NTSC DCTV work on PAL Amiga?
« on: March 02, 2011, 10:41:28 AM »
One night searching on ebay for Amiga stuff as one does, I came across a DCTV and purchased it.  
 
I then realised I was on the ebay.com web site and not ebay.com.au and realised it is NTSC (well it doesn't say it is but will assume it is).  
 
Is the hardware controlled by the software, that is if I use PAL software will that work with the DCTV or must I boot up in NTSC mode on the Amiga and use the NTSC software.
 
Don't ask why I purchased it, I guess I always wanted one back when I owned an Amiga 500 but I'm sure it will be fun to play around with!

Well I can confirm it works fine on a PAL Amiga in NTSC mode, having said that I do "believe" that if someone can source me the PAL software, that it would work just as well!

Just for clarification, you're using a PAL Amiga (1200??) running in NTSC mode with an NTSC DCTV and outputting DCTV images via the DCTV composite output to an NTSC device???
