mediator or scan doubler?

Hi attic

like the others I can only recommend the mediator. I have used the original 1200 version and the 4000Di version and they are very good products imo.

I havent tried it out, but I think I have read somewehre that if you have a tv card in your mediator, you can connect the aga output  to the tv cards input port and display it in a wb window. I doubt this will work with non system friendly games/applications though.

This does work, but only to a point. Yes, if you run a non-system-friendly game, the workbench freezes, but the TV card accesses the video ram of the Voodoo without the system, and so keeps updating even when the OS has shut down and the AGA chipset takes over. But this does require that:    a) The game can be run from workbench with all the add-ons and patches enabled (Quite a few won't and only work with a bare install)    b) The game doesn't try to switch screenmodes in a system-legal way when it starts up. This will cause the TV window to try to close and it won't update then.

Thats more than I expected. It should run great with all the whdload games.  Maybe I´ll buy a cheap tvcard for my mediator now that I know this  :-D
