Amiga 1000 playing 640x512, 24 bit video with sound using DCTV

Nice!
In fact it was your 25th anniversary video(s) that made me start looking for a DCTV for my Amiga 500.
(Never had one, although I did have a HAM-E back in the day..)

Then I got it and started playing with it, and noticed that it didn't work quite like YOUR DCTV?  Was mine broken?  
Nope, that's when I found out about the DCTV Converter.  ;-)
Although I think I've sourced one of those now to add to my setup, which also now includes an Amiga 1000.  :-)

Thanx,

p.s.  It's interesting.  From what I remember from my HAM-E, it and the DCTV did basically the same thing, but DCTV was composite 24bit unless you had the converter.  And HAM-E was all RGB, although I assume you could get an RGB to composite converter for it if needed/wanted.

OK, got my DCTV converter!

The Amiga 1000 is hooked up to the 1084S currently, so I pulled out my A500.

I have the A500 hooked up with the DCTV.
The DCTV to the DCTV RGB Converter.
The DCTV RGB Converter to one of Amigamaniacs Amiga-s-video adapters.

I using the composite output from the s-video adapter for now to my new (to me) 1701 monitor, and it works great!!!

I'll eventually move that wonderful mess to my Amiga 1000 and the chroma-luma input on my 1084S (the A1200 has the RGB).

Now I just need a hard disk setup on my A1000 to make it really useful for DCTV stuff.
