HDMI cable to cn450 (Video out)
« on: February 07, 2013, 02:40:48 AM »
Has anyone got a link or know if I can purchase a HDMI cable to the video out (RGB cn450 connector) on my Amiga.

This cable would allow me to use my Amiga 500, 600, 1200 & 4000 on my Panasonic and Sony TVs through the HDMI sockets.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think a passive cable would work. The connections aren't electrically compatible. You need some circuitry in there - essentially a scandoubler - followed by the more common VGA/DVI to HDMI adapters.

You might have more luck with an RGB-to-component adapter - if your TV supports that. As Matt said, RGB-to-HDMI is more complex (HDMI is digital) although not necessarily requiring a scandoubler; 480i or 576i should be working over HDMI as well.

An S-video converter should be usable as well, composite I'd rather avoid (very blurry).

... just for completeness: HDMI should be fine with 480i/576i - the pixels are doubled to reach minimum bandwidth. ;)
