Connecting my Amiga 500/1200 with PC
« on: November 20, 2013, 08:35:49 PM »
I want to connect my Amiga with my PC so that I can stream video games and upload them to YouTube. What is the exact procedure?

I have the following equipment, if needed:
- Happauge DVR 2 Gaming Edition
- Dazzle Platinum
- Samsung LCD Model No. T22350 (Monitor/TV)

I present the Retro Gamers show in GameWorld.gr YouTube Channel so I want to present many Amiga games. I have an Amiga 500 and an Amiga 1200T.

Your help yould be much appreciated!

Thank you.

The A1200 has an RCA/composite out which could go straight in to the dazzle in.

The Amiga 500 doesn't have it?
Also , can you give me a link of that cable? Because the only cable that I have is the VGA that I use with my monitor!

Thank you

The A500 only has a mono composite output built in. However if you have an A520 modulator plugged into the 23 pin video port then that does have a colour composite output. The A520 isn't the best video encoder in the world, but you can buy one easily then plug it in and it will work.
 
Something like this would also work.

Questions:
1)Where can I buy that?
http://www.amigamaniac.com/RGB_to_PAL_NTSC_adapter.html
Looks like that AmigaManiac.com is gone forever. This guy doesn't show contact info in his website.
2)If I use my Amiga 1200 with the RCA/Composite cable, can you also give me a link of the cable that I should use?
3)Off-topic: Same question for connecting an Amstrad 6128 with my PC. What am I going to need?

Ebay links would be welcome. I have an account there which I use every week during the last year!

Thanks for helping!

Like others have said for the A500 you only get black and white output without a the RGB to composite video modulator, but the cables work on both A500 and A1200

killer2k also does one, you could try him.

If you get one of these then you need an "svideo cable" and a "stereo rca to rca audio cable" to connect it to your dazzle. Otherwise if you are using the composite port on the a1200 you need an "rca composite cable".
 
just search ebay for them.
 
kipper2k was also working on a component version, which might work with your hauupage but he doesn't have that listed. You could ask him though.

This Ebay link redirects to "RCA to RCA" cable. The 2 RCA ports in Amiga are used only for audio. The video port I think is VGA. I have lots of RCA to RCA cables. The one edge will go to the Dazzle.

The other edge? Is it going to be connected to the Composite via an adapter or something? is there any other port that I miss?

Thanks again!
