Amiga to Composite Video or SVideo Cables?

[krispy]

Ladies and gentlemen I received my first Amiga today.  A very nice A500 specimen.  I am proud.

I have a projector that will input a standard computer input, composite video, or svideo.  I do not have or want to use an amiga monitor.  Are there any specs on how to create a cable conversion from the Amiga's RGB out to one of these new video standards?

Thanks for your help!

The A520 will give you color composite output.  You can also hack it to output S-Video.

You propably need to find an A520 if you already dont have one. It plugs to the video port. The composite socket on the A500 outputs only black and white picture.

Hi krispy

the best option for a video projector, is an Amiga scandoubler-flickerfixer (forget to achieve a decent picture, from a A520 module with a video proj.).

Check if your video proj., can sync from 31 Khz at least and search for a external scandoubler-flickerfixer.

There are also, "RGB+CompSync(analogic) -> Y-C" but . . .

@krispy

You can go the simple way and just get a GENLOCK for your Amiga............just make sure it has S-Video inand OUT

It plugs into the RGB port.

Plus it lets you overlay Amiga gfx onto video so that you can do Titles on movies and stuff.
