One monitor solution for Vampire

[David Wright]

I posted over at the Apollo forum but want to tease your minds here.

Since I have an lcd with hdmi for the rtg graphics how can I get the rgb to go to same monitor? Right now I have a second monitor, (1084)

Can I use my scart to hdmi convertor that will connect to the amiga video port? That leaves me with a second hdmi out with no way to connect to monitor since it is already being used.

Some sort of hdmi splitter? if so will it auto select the current video out put or is manual?

I use one of these. https://www.conrad.se/?websale8=conrad-swe.01-aa&pi=989271&refKey=szrH0Eyu1

Vamp HDMI to this and RGB-SCART to this.

Just switch between them with a button on the front. Connected to a 32" tv with HDMI.

I have one of those, but they have a lot of lag and also artefact around moving objects such as mouse pointers:confused:

I recently got on of those devices so that I could connect my Minimig1.1 to more modern TVs.

I did notice a lot of lag initially but changing the picture mode of the TV seemed to eliminate the lag.

@David Wright,

Wait, only HDMI? No VGA with switch? No option then. My monitor has 1 each.

I plugged the hdmi out from the Vampire into the input Scart/hdmi converter.
The did the Rgb of amiga to the Scart connector.
Finally hdmi out to monitor.
Really funky display that was super unresponsive and hit or miss with switching between display outputs.

I noticed it performed a bit better when the power was disconnected and was drawing it's power from the Amiga/Vampire. Still not useful.

So far now, two monitors again.

I notice a small amount of artifacts,  but not any lag with the one I bought...
