Amiga HDMI output
Hello,
I am done with my latest project :) Please feel free to check out the youtube link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgNfMfjiVnY Be aware that this board has some state of the art, expensive as hell, parts. Lets see what the interest is in this gadget and go from there. Regards, StaringL |
wow, nice work!
|
This is exactly one of those "I do it because I can" projects the Amiga world is so renowed for :D Great job!
What's the BOM at the moment? Looks like it's going to be expensive as heck! |
Very nice - I'd consider buying one! Will it work with AGA as well as ECS?
|
Very Very nice. Well done. This is just amazing, Kinda speechless. :great
What's the plan on how we all can have or make one of these? |
Very nice design! Love it.
Would be good to see an external RGB to HDMI adapter like yours on the market. |
Good idea, but I must ask: Does it really change 50Hz -> 60Hz? Why? :-(
Also you write 576i but the Amiga normally outputs 288p.. Could you shed some light on the details please? |
why 60 Hertz ? think it's just because most of the screens (TV, Monitors, etc...) that are HDMI supports that by default... ;-) try to find a NEW monitor that is 50Hz native, saddly it are no so many now.
|
TVs should still support 50Hz, i'd be surprised if not. personally i'm more worried about the pixels being stretched into widescreen proportions.

If a display takes in HDMI, there is a high possibility that it support 50Hz via HDMI too. I'm guessing this project allows you to choose the refresh rates, so that's why I asked for details. :-) |
cool project.. why not just use your tv's RGB input, it has similar circuitry already built in?
too bad it will reduce the color depth on aga machines, though (due to only 16 bit color support). |

As far as the Hz is concerned, I think it does not matter. What comes out from the FPGA and resides inside the SRAM is the same, no matter what vertical Hz I choose to display it in. I choose 60Hz since I think it is supported by almost all screens. If you think the interlacing will get worse in PAL mode by changing vertical Hz, It is an interesting thought, one that I will test today actually :) Thankfully it is very easy to change. |

is it possible to configure it not to stretch the image sideways to widescreen width? or does it work with non-widescreen monitors?
