Hook up a C64 to my A3000?
« on: February 05, 2011, 08:51:54 PM »
Hey video gurus, can I hook up my C64 so that I can see it on the Amiga screen? I am wondering about the Village Tronic Pablo, what does a video encoder do? Is it like a capture card? I have a Picasso II+ in the machine.

What sort of hardware does that? The C64 has svideo out.

I don't have any more 15Khz NTSC monitors these days Save. I suppose I could do this on my Windoze box, but if I can do it on the Amiga I'd like to try that.

Well the idea is to have the C64 viewable through some kind of capture card so I don't need another monitor in the room, just to crank up the C64 occasionally. I am just curious if a Pablo would let me "monitor" the incoming svideo feed.

Ah, so more reading, I'm getting it:

http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/photo2.pl?id=pablo&pg=1&res=med&lang=en

This just takes the video of the picasso II+ / IV and sends it out the svideo to be recorded by some other device, not for input.

Oh well. I'll find some capture card.

Thanks for posting
