Outputting Amiga video through VCR

[Framiga]

@Animagic

All Amigas, doesn't supply Y-C sepatared S-Video.

You must use a converter from RGB+Sync>S-Video(Y-C).

Quite all genlocks has YC out also.

Gordon Bennett what are you lot piffling on about ?

I did Exactly what he's been trying to do .. For YEARS .

From what your've said it sounds like your've got it right  ..SO..

Stop looking for the technical problems and start looking at the obvious....

Got your remote control handy ?
Trying switching between Line 1 / 2 / 3 .. or AV 1 / 2 / 3

I'll stick my neck out and say that little problems now cured !!    :-o

 :-D

Geia sou Ellada!

I had the same problem with my vcr and my dreamcast...

I found that the 'scart input' signal is only displayed on the tv when the video is on 'off' or rather 'standby' mode.

Just make sure your tv is tuned to the AV channel you normally watch your vcron, then press the power button on your vcr to switch it off and your amiga should now show...

If it doesn't ....well animagic was right....

It took the best part of an hour of cursing (using all the Greek m* words) before I realised!  :-)

Good luck ....kai ta leme

Get yourself an A520 modulator and hack it into S-video. Instructions can be found at www.starnet.com.au/davem/amiga.html.

It works very well, although the colours are not as saturated as they could be, this is because of a design error made by Commodore.

First of all, I asuumed that he has a regular PAL VCR with 1 or 2 scart inputs. This means that there is no way that his vcr will support RGB.

I' ve worked with many consumer vcr. Never seen any to support RGB in Greek market  :-P

And who the hell is Gordon Bennett ?  :-?

And who the hell is Gordon Bennett ?

Gordon Bennett is a common phrase used in British English to express surprise or shock, for instance. "Gordon Bennett! look at the size of that".

The phrase is believed to have originated in the 19th century, after a notorious Victorian playboy called James Gordon Bennett, Jr. who became famous for his extravagant lifestyle, and exploits, so much so that his name became stuck in the national language.

You wrote:.

Q: "where I can get an Amiga->S-Video cable"

A: "I'm afraid you will have to solder this yourself.
I haven't seen any ami -> s-video cables "

i've no need to use google for those info but you probably yes.

Ciao!

Ok, I am tired of idiotic posts.

Never had to connect my amiga trough rbg-svideo. I have genlocks to ALL my amigas, so it is obvious that I never had the need for that kinf of information!
I had to search in order to help!

So, what are you? The Mr. I Know Everything?
If you think so, you probably need some medical attention!!!

Bite me!  :-P

i "know something" because video is my job . . . and you are definitaly an idiot . . . .Mr  . .

[Animagic]

Hmm....

Video is your job...

Do you usually work with custom made soldered cables?

Because I don't!

I use only Broadcast Quality equipment mostly approved by EBU.

So, as you can see, I don't have the need for custom made cables that f^ck up the picture quality.

As for who is the idiot in these posts, I usually help people, don't post just to gain points like you little boy!

 :roflmao:

@ Animagic

yes i work on telecine gears also and YES, i made myself custom cables, wired remote controllers and so . . .if and when they aren't available on the market.
