Scandoubler / Flickerfixer Production?
Hello everyone,
I hope it is the right place for this. I could start production of flickerfixer/scandoubler for ANY type of AMIGA, but I would need at least 100 customers, the price would be cheap, but I first need to know how many of you still need it? External, similar to DCE ScanMagic Regards, PEnemy Last edited by Penemy; 07 February 2007 at 08:49. |

The price would have to be below €100 as you can already get external RGB scandoublers for that price which work with the Amiga (and everything else!)

I have been trying to promote a very cheap 2-chip solution to scandoubling for ages using Averlogic chips. AL251 Scandoubler + AL875 tripple ADC

The price of scandoublers is artificially high.
The electronics cost next to nothing these days due to the launch of LCDTV's (Which all have Deinterlacing Scan doublers in them). By choosing the right "high volume" parts, you should be able to make a low cost SCART to 15-pin VGA box and sell for well under €100 and make about 10% profit.

Why scart?
I want a scandoubler for the amiga only, I have a RGB to scart connector but others outside of Europe will not. Besides wont you lose some quality from the scart connector? I am happy to keep playing my consoles on the TV, none of which even have a scart output. Couldn't people who want scart connectors have an optional cable made up? |

Would be good to have both attached, I think you'd certainly get more customers if a SCART was included.

I think one should consider anything but the 23 pin connector, when you consider the rarity of the damn thing. Scart is pretty much available everywhere (even in Japan). I think a 25 pin connector would be even better.

I would be seriously interested (read: most certainly buy one)... but ONLY as long as the scandoubler offers 24-bit and is compatible with the A1200 (there are no 24-bit scandoublers for the A1200 unless one is using a Zorro bridge... thus buying one for the A1200 today renders useless if one wants to be able to display AGA correctly).
Though I just noticed that we are talking about an external one. Well, fair enough... although I would prefer an internal one. |

As I mentioned somewhere else and has already been mentioned here, you can pick up a 15" LCD/TFT nowadays that will scandouble/flickerfix for under 75 euro, the outlandish prices associated with scandoublers/flickerfixers are just totally unjustified when almost every TFT, LCD and Plasma on the market can do the job.
