A4000 scandoubler or other option please. . . .
« on: October 08, 2005, 02:35:55 PM »
Hi all,
   I asked this question awhile ago but never got a really good answer, so here goes again. . .

What scandoubler, that's currently out or available for purchase anywhere, can the A4000 use?

What other options can I use to make my A4000 appear on say a LCD TV or a normal TV or even a standard CRT Monitor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've had my A4000 for about 3 months now, and have yet to been able to use it since I can't see it on anything.  Thanks.

The easiest and cheapest way is to get a Genlock....preferably with S-Vdeo OUT and not just composite OUT...then you can connect it to a S-Video TV..the output is very close to that of an RGB monitor.

Get a SuperGEN SX genlock if you can.

Then you can watch TV and the Amiga at he same tim throuh just moving the Faders up and down to switch.

Or........Just trade me your A4000 for my A3000 with Monitor included....the A3000 has VGA out with FlickerFixer built in! as well as a sepereate RGB OUT. :-D



CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

Well, you have a lot of options with the three display options you mention. Get a A520 device or a RGB --> scart to connect to computer to the tv, or get a scandoubler for the videoport or the RGB port to connect any monitor to you Amiga.

I have been using a MicroniK Scandy In myself to scandouble my signal to 31 Hz, but after I have replaced my monitor, it's not really needed anymore.
