Piv Flicker Fixer Scan Rate

Hi, I read somewhere that you can alter the scan rate of the Piv flicker fixer to > 31khz. But I cannot figure out how to do this. Can anyone be of assistance?

Don't worry peeps, I got it sussed

A quick run of PicassoMode96 TNG and wooooo.....nice solid Hires and Hires laced screens

Anyone else need help, lemmie know

Cool! Scan-doublers are great!

My reaction was similar to yours when I got my first A3000 (last year!) and tried an interlaced display!

Hi Ali, yup flicker fixers are cool. I am really pleased with mine now. I have a 22" Iiyama CRT. So 31khz was a pain.

I am also gonna take a look at a cheap LCD screen for the 1200. Aparently some of those can take Hires laced and still look cool.

How high can the scan rate go?  I didn't know it was adjustable.  This is probably not the case for flicker fixers in general, right?

How dare you call the Picasso IV a mere scan doubler!

i cant seem to work out that Picassomode NG, how did u change the refresh rate?

 Was it 150 Hz? My PAL is 100 and NTSC 120Hz.

Sorry, I'm not sure what rate you're talking about.  Did you mean to write kHz (rather than Hz), referring to the horizontal scan rate?

Hi peeps, sorry but I can only tell you that it works for the Piv. As for other GFX cards I simply do not know because I have not got one. To change the setting choose the PAL screenmode from PicassoMode96TNG and adjust acordingly. Keep in mind that you may blow your monitor if you are allowed to go to far.
I will put up a screenshot tonight if anyone cannot see what I mean.

take alook at this thread (volmer and zipper post).

Good for a laughs as well :-) (page 2)

Screen refresh; I never counted/tested what's the max kHz it can do, but quite high - somewhere between 50 - 80 kHz... :-D

That was a cool thread   Just for everyones info the Piv will even show the Early Startup Menu at the new flicker fixed rate. I know, I have tried it  :-D

And when there pressing toggles the default 50 Hz rate and the adjusted.

Hi peeps, I have put up a screen capture of the settings. I discovered I could go up lots further (90+htz) but I can't be arsed as I am happy with it as it is.

P.S. Those Dual Lcd TV's look like the answer for my 500 and 1200.......hmmmmmmmmmmm


Hmmm...I was gonna put up a screen shot...but how?  Any help in da house?  :-o

Still can't figure how to get pics uploaded. Am I really that stupid? Anyhow, I have now found some limitations to the Piv flicker fixer. I went all the way up to 90khz (and very nice it looked too) but you do loose the early startup screen. It seems to be ok up to around 63-64khz then I loose it. Oddly, games booted from floppy work fine tho. Ideas anyone or have I found the hardware limit?
