A600/1200 S-Video Out Adaptor (ONLY for Tbtorro's Video Upgrade Kit!)

[Daedalus]

I have a limited number of S-Video adaptors available in kit form. This kit adds to the improvements offered by Tbtorro's excellent video encoder upgrade kit by allowing simple connection to the new encoder's S-Video output. They're designed to fit in the space left by removing the RF modulator from Amiga 600s and 1200s, and they allow S-Video connection to the upgraded video encoder. Please be aware that they will *not* work with the original CXA1145 video encoder - more elaborate circuits are required for that. This adaptor is intended ONLY for use with the CXA1645 video encoder chip, so there's no point in buying this kit unless you also do the encoder upgrade!

Fine soldering will be required, but if you've fitted the encoder upgrade kit, this won't be any problem. Three connections are needed as shown in the photo - Chroma to pin 15 of the encoder, Luma to pin 16, and Ground to any ground point (a handy one is the 4th pin of the PAL modulator connection, as shown in the photo). Unfortunately there's nowhere else to obtain the Chroma and Luma signals other than directly from the chip pins.

The kit contains the PCB, two capacitors, two SMT resistors, the socket, and the wires, screws and spacers needed to fit it. Note that the S-Video connector is a tight fit for the modulator opening in the new Kickstarter A1200 cases, but it does fit with a little persuasion (as seen in the photos). The original case's RF modulator opening has more clearance and so is an easier fit.

It's only a very simple board, but of course, I can't guarantee it will work with your setup or won't damage your Amiga. Use it at your own risk.

I'm asking for £8 per kit plus postage, which is £1.50 for the UK, £3 for Europe and £4 for the rest of the world unregistered. Registered / tracked shipping is available for additional cost.

Thanks!
