1 scandoubler ordered  :-D

Thank you very much, I've just sent an email to Roy to see if I can place the order.

This is an important point - I have an internal scandoubler in my Amiga, but my LCD doesn't sync down to 50Hz so it doesn't display anything at all.  It goes down to 56Hz but it isn't enough.

I suspect Roy's scandoubler is the same - it won't make a PAL machine display on an LCD that doesn't vertical sync down to 50Hz.

Well.. time to release some info on my forthcoming unit:

- A1200 internal, plugs over Lisa, no other chip-connections (other internal flickerfixers used an additional Alice-adapter)
- might fit in A4000T, but will not fit in A4000D or CD32.
- full 24 bit colour depth for all screenmodes and output frequencies
- all OCS/ECS/AGA screenmodes displayed and scan-converted, output is always over 60Hz and flicker-free
- fallback to legacy flickerfixer-type 49,9Hz modes at the user's choice
- optional scanline emulation for retro-feeling
- re-configurable design, new screenmodes can be added with a software upgrade
- Genlock compatible (Toaster/Flyer)
- no fiddling with adjustments, just plug in and use
- low power consumption, no heat problems (3.3V design, 2.5V core voltage)

Production start by the end of this month, availability in summer, target price 129,- EUR each. Versions for A4000D and OCS/ECS Amigas coming up when the A1200 version started selling and some money is made back.

This flickerfixer breaks three rules in one product:
- 16 bit is not the limit in colour depth
- 50Hz is not a "must" when flickerfixing PAL screens
- SHires can be perfectly displayed and flickerfixed

The design uses only up-to-date parts and is moving more than 300 Megabytes of data per second.

Re: Jens Announcement.

Great news Jens! I am looking forward to this becoming available... cant wait to get my hands on one!

WOOT!!!! :pint: It's software configurable, and has a 50Hz "fallback" mode? AWESOME!

Finally, it will be nice to watch AGA demos on a Trinitron... in full 24-bit.

Are you accepting pre-orders on the scan doubler Jens?

Wouldnt want some greedy person to buy them all up and then sell them with a markup on evilbay...

Dumb question for you:

I've got an Elbox FastATA 1200 MK-III with 2 internal 2.5" HDs & a Subway USB (attached via a clockport riser) on my NTSC A1200, in addition to my p5 Blizzard 1260 accelerator & its Fast SCSI-2 daughter card, both with RAM on them.  All this is still in its original A1200 case, as I haven't as yet towerized it.  Will there be room to add your internal scan doubler in my A1200?

[easy_john]

Greate job! I think i need at least one!

Do you plain to release external version scandoubler later?

Careful! We don't want Amiga Inc to get back into hardware and decide that we cant build items for their supposably dead in the water platform. I guess they wouldn't know demand if it hit them between the eyes. They still havent replied to my email. Not a happy camper.

@ Schoenfeld

That's why I added the links to the pictures: I left space over Gayle and the keyboard chip free, and kickstart roms also stay accessible. The Elbox Fast ATA might need a riser, but that's not a big deal.

[alexh]

It would put potential buyers minds at rest if they knew if your new scan doubler would work with an Elbox Fast ATA with a riser and if the two would fit together in an A1200D desktop case.

If you don't own one, could you see if AmigaKit would kindly lend you one for testing?

[mfilos]

I believe like some said that compatibility with FastATA for desktop versions would be cool.
What about though towered projects with FastATA & Mediator?
Would this just leave them outside???
OFC for WB with RTG you don't need SD/FF but what about Gaming in Tower version in same monitor (with switcher ofc)?

Great work Jens no matter what! That was great news indeed

Keep up the good work

They are not going to answer your email. I emailed them one year ago about their new hardware that they was about to release, but no answer yet  ;-)
