Potential problem with the upcoming Indivision AGA 1200

diablothe2nd · 03 January 2012, 03:44

I'm seen/heard that the next gen of Indi AGA for the 1200 will have DVI-I.

This poses a dilemma for me, as I'll need to get a dvi-i to HDMI adapter as my tv doesn't take DVI.

It does however have the 3 RCA component Hi Def sockets, with two additional ones for sound.

but errr, will DVI-I go through the component without any fancy doohickies?

failing that i'll have to source something like this from the UK:

hopefully this will be simple to solve... and cheap too!

Thats pretty interesting... i wondered what we would do when TVs no longer support scart

i think my A1200 will out live my 1084s, so i would have to connect to a TV in the future...

wouldnt this be good enough for conversion?

Yep, get a DVI -> HDMI adapter and you should be ok.

You can't get the DVI -> YpBpR component conversion done without an expensive active converter, which will also degrade the signal quality.

that's all well and good, but i dont like silent games

dont want speakers either when my tv has a perfectly good pair

guess i'll have to fork out for that thing in the link, and some how find another plug socket to power it

Are you sure you don't have extra audio inputs to go along with your HDMI input? Here's a pic that shows what I mean in some TV connections:

As you can see (Number 7) it supplies HDMI (for Video) and has Analog inputs for Audio.

Some TV's don't have that feature, so in that case you need a converter like the one you linked.

it has L/R connectors, but they're part of the YpBpR inputs.

hangon a sec... DVI-I does convert to YpBpR as it's analogue. It's DVI-D that needs converting, right?

I can do both digital and analog, D can only do digital.

The analog part of DVI-I is RGB, not ypbpr component...

Conversion from RGB to YPbPr is simple, you only need a couple chips and supporting components. There are many adapters out there, I wouldn't spend more than $15 on one. If you are handy, there are a few schematics here: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=36782

some TV's also have a separate audio input which is in the form of a Mini jack so you can simply use a rca - 3.5mm stereo mini jack
