Does anyone have any experience with these to SCART to HDMI adapters?

Hi guys, does anyone have experience with these 2 SCART to HDMI adapters, I know if I want the best I will need to go with an Indivision but with my current budget I have only these options at the moment. The first one is very cheap but I have not used it before. The links are in the thread below since I am not able to post ebay links in other sections.

I have this SCART to HDMI adapter:

[ Show youtube player ]

And it doesn't work that well with the Amiga.
I've also tested S-Video/Composite to HDMI, which is similarly priced and it worked better, but the quality is still bad:
[ Show youtube player ]

Best solution that I have so far is the OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter) albeit more expensive:
[ Show youtube player ]

which can also be used for VGA inputs as well.

But OSSC is also not fine working solution for me, because my framegrabber accepts only 50 Hz vertical signal, while the Amiga in non-interlaced modes provides only 49.92 Hz.

Please post in the correct sub forums. This is not amiga scene related. Thanks

I have had extremely good results so far with the Raspberry Pi RGB to HDMI solution, but this won't work on AGA machines.

Thank you for the replies, hmm it is tough choice, I will give a try to the more expensive one and post my results here. I would love to get an OSSC but for the moment I will have to wait. I wish there was a similar solution to using the Raspberry Pi RGB to HDMI for the A1200 too. In fact I wonder why there is no direct Amiga RGB to HDMI all in one cable solution, I guess as long as you have an external power source, maybe chain it between the Amiga power cord ... ? I wish I had more technical skill so I could make something like this.

if your amiga has usb ports you can feed the power supply to the converter (most are usb), well if it can power it, that is.

There are also a lot of molex 2 usb cables, so if you can derive a 5V power source from the amiga, you can have a no-data usb port for your converter.
