Amiga Digital Video

AJCopland · 30 December 2020, 12:33

I just read this over at Hackaday.com, there's a new way of hooking up old A500 OCS machines to HDMI

https://github.com/c0pperdragon/Amiga-Digital-Video

It's based on an adapter board to a Raspberry Pi Zero running RGBtoHDMI

Just watched Jan Beta's video on this. Looks promising.

And if you have a lot of Amigas and switching between em all the time there is - https://d520-converter.de/ and it works on all Miggys.

I think it would be much cheaper to buy Pi0 for all your Amigas...

@UberFreak
Are c0pperdragon's Pi0 solution compatible with all my Miggy's?

189€ ???

For me Amiga Digital Video has only one issue ... if we want to close the Amiga, we have to drill somewhere to pass the HDMI cable.
Beside that it is perfect.

Some assembly videos:

Looks good.

I wonder if this will fit with a TF536.

Estrayk · 08 January 2021, 15:48

And this solution from Edu Arana?

Noticed the pcb layout is on github

https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDM...migaAdapter/V2

Does anyone know how I would got about printing that to pcb?

I'm thinking about giving it a go and manually assembling one.

You could order it here? https://www.pcbway.com/project/share...y_Pi_Zero.html

That's perfect, thanks for that link @amiman99

Anyone know if this will fit/work in an A2000??? Looking at the layout of my board, it seems like the Pi would be hanging over the Paula and an electrolytic capacitor. Likely would need to put an extra socket riser in to get it to clear those.

Just wondering if anyone has tried yet? Would really like to get this to work on the 2000 I have to clean up the video signal a bunch and open up my monitor options.

I'm working on a videoslot card solution for this

I only have an A4k, but as mentioned in the other thread about this topic, a video slot card for 12-bit color systems (A2k, A3k) should work in an A4k as well, so hopefully I can test it..

Ah, cool... Keep us in the loop! Was hoping to get this into my A2000 to use until I can afford a zz9000 card for it...

Great, interesting. I'll follow the development.

Torti-the-Smurf · 06 February 2021, 20:59

A600 possible ? That would be amazing ! The RF Modulator in my A600 is already removed; just waiting for somtheing fantastic like this. Hmm, could be tight with a Furia inside

anyway, great stuff guys !

rlake · 07 February 2021, 00:02

Yes, you want the small adapter but then there are a lot of wires to solder on the board for A600!

indigolemon · 07 February 2021, 00:42

Think kipper has the A600 covered, see post here: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...3&postcount=56

I’ve installed one in my Rev 6.2 A2000 and it works great - it is a tight fit between the motherboard and the frame where the drives and PSU are but no problems.

Oh, that sounds complicated. Also depending on the board revision ?

Awesome, but i cant see the solder work here.

Do you think in the future a Simple plug&play solution will be possible or is this the only way it can be done?
