Yaaay, good for me

You still need a TV which accepts 15KHz video (like a TV) but this is perfect for you guys in the states who have no SCART?

But this would allow Euro users who have a "busy" SCART to connect their Amiga via Component?? I suppose if I have a SCART I should just use a SCART switcher as it should be cheaper?

This is the other project i have just finished. Picture quality is very good, it will work on Pal or NTSC systems (dependent on your native format of your Amiga and TV. NTSC = 480 and Pal =576. Monitor must support sync on green, i still have to do a few tests

Nice work. However, is it possible to skip compos(h)ite to save space and cost? It's already included on A600/1200.

the composite portion of the board costs like $1 to add for a capacitor, resistor, 2 pin header and a RCA plug. The AD724 will output composite and S-video so composite is there by default. The other part f the circuit is the component portion which is independent of the AD724. Therefore i can use the same board for those that want just composite/svideo and those that want component as well

Kipper, whats the "target" price for this please?

The video adapter board will come in 2 flavours, first the basic svideo and composite output board enclosed in a case, the price would be $39 for that version,

The one with the component output would be $59 and will output either 480i or 576i dependent on location and also in a box .

The board is identical on both, the only difference is i dont add the extra components for the component video output on the $39 version (of course the componenent video version will also have the svideo and composite).

The person i asked to buy parts in the USA for me has gone AWOL so it appears i am out of pocket for the funds i sent him to purchase them and also don't have the 23 pin amiga RGB connectors that i asked him to buy.

So, i will need to source parts again. if you don't want the case, deduct $8. I can cut down 25 pin connectors to fit on the Amiga, but i really don't like doing that except for testing etc

Hey kipper,
I would like the component version for $59. Do you have any to sell yet?

Thanks

Hey Kipper!

Would you mind posting the schematic of your RGB to YPbPr device? I'm trying to build the same for a Jamma arcade machine. Original RGB monitor is flat dead so I will replace it with a component TV.

Your adapter seems to be exactly what I need.

Thanks!

Gimpy.

Would il look like this?



Am I missing something here?
