Well I can confirm it works fine on a PAL Amiga in NTSC mode, having said that I do "believe" that if someone can source me the PAL software, that it would work just as well!

Is there a difference between the NTSC and PAL software? If so, I want the PAL software too! ;)

Just for clarification, you're using a PAL Amiga (1200??) running in NTSC mode with an NTSC DCTV and outputting DCTV images via the DCTV composite output to an NTSC device???

Nice..  
I know my LCD TVs don't do either PAL/NTSC, but just NTSC here.  If that TV does NTSC, then your're doing true NTSC all the way from your PAL 1200 in NTSC mode out.

Man, I wish more of our LCD's did both modes or we had SCART here.. :(

Oh well..  Nice!

Would be interesting to see what the PAL software (It's different? I only have NTSC.) does on the 1200 in it's native PAL mode.
My guess is that the DCTV has PAL or NTSC crystals, which is why they sold them separately.  But if it pulls it's timing from the Amiga connected, it could be just the SW...

What are you planning on doing once you aquire a DCTV RGB converter?

I just nabbed one on Ebay, it was VERY Pricey I thought, but I was willing to pay the price considering that I don't see them up for auction very often.

"NTSC and PAL DCTV is probably on the Digitizing end, as timing is important."

That would make sense.

I have the NTSC DCTV, it was the most fun for me back in the nineties. Wonderful paint program, I did my first digital painting on DCTV. I'll post it soon as I can get it off my A2000. I was able to get away with 1 mb chip ram with an 030 at 50 mHz and still play my 3D animations. However it was a big step up using the DCTV with my A1200 060. I rendered them in Caligari 24 and later LightRave followed by Lightwave after Newtek unbundled it from the Toaster. Off course they were only a few seconds long though.

Does this convert the DCTV to to PAL?

Actually it just came back to me. I think I do recall seeing ads for that converter years ago in the Amiga magazines.

So now I have my Chroma Key +, SuperGen +, DCTV, and DCTV RGB Converter...

I'm kind of lacking manuals, so I got to spend the day tomorrow figuring out what goes where first, then I'm on to get familiar with everything.

Mine only shoes B/W. I have a PAL A1200 and NTSC DCTV. I switched to NTSC in the early boot menu.

Thanks,
