Scandoubler/Flicker Fixer Available Now!

[amigakit]

After a long much-awaited delay, we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Amiga external Scandoublers/Flickerfixers

The device allows any Classic Amiga to connect to and use a standard PC (SVGA) Monitor.

Screenmodes are either frequency doubled or simply passed through to the monitor.  What is more, NTSC and PAL Interlace modes are stabilised - so no more annoying flicker!

@amigakit: now i have to wait from you to throw away that damn pay pal...(snif)

[Legerdemain]

Is it 24bit or 16bit (in other words, will it show AGA properly? Couldn't find any information on the site concerning that very matter...)?

[amigagr]

i thing that it is an 1:1 process. you take back what you gave and probebly it is 24bit but that has no sence in the amiga rgb out.

[Legerdemain]

I hope you are right, because 24bit SD's / FF's for the Amiga are really a rare sight. I can only come to think of the Picasso IV one right now...

Any chance this will work on a C128(RGBi), 80 column?

[Doppie1200]

I don't think this is the place to discuss that but I think it will work for the C128 RGBI output.

All you have to do is use resistors to get the right analogue level from each RGBI combination.

Now I'm not a real electronics guru but you basically have two bits per channel. So with 2 resitors (per channel) you could build yourself a DAC and feed that signal to the scandoubler.

Perhaps somebody more able could work this out for you.

£89.99 for this? I'd have bought one.. But not at this price...

Sure it is, the C128 is the Amiga's uncle. Repect your elders! ;-) But seriously, Wayne and co here are open minded.

Resistors :-? I'll look into this, probably ask on c.s.c. At this time there is no good converter for the 128 RBGi.

My scandoubler came today from Vesalia, but I missed the postman.  Now I have to wait 13 hours to get it in the morning :bigcry:

How is the video output? I received my Toastscan external Scandoubler / Flickerfixer from Software Hut, and it's image quality is absolute {bleep}. :pissed:

Oddly enough the pic used for the Indivision is EXACTLY what the Toastscan Scandoubler / Flickerfixer looks like. Hmmm...  :-o

Um, that is actually the correct price for an external scandoubler / flicker fixer. Hell, even internal ones.

Got it yesterday.  Some games such as Superfrog, Project X have graphic problems.
