I could write up something if there is interest. Over the years I have purchased a bunch of different converters, displays, cables etc.

Steve ...
Meant to ask you ... would a short article on this and similar adapters be of value for the next newsletter?

Yes, I have tested my ntsc Amiga 1200 with a scart cable and it worked fine. SCART wasn't really known here but the technology is pretty standard. The SCART cable was just one giant all-in-one connector for composite, s-video, and RGB analog, along with stereo audio. The Amiga and the old consoles use RGB analog at 15kHz. Really, you don't need the SCART cable... you could just solder an Amiga DB-23 cable directly to the SCART-to-HDMI adapter.

Hi Steve, can you give me a link to which SCART to HDMI adapter on eBay would be the correct one to buy. Also would a scart cable work on a NTSC Amiga?

For about $40 you can get a SCART to HDMI adapter on ebay that works on the Amiga, assuming you have a nice big HDMI-capable tv. That's gonna get you the best quality.

I have one on order to try. You will need an amiga to SCART cable (about $20) or you could wire up your own cable if you have a db-23 connector.
This adapter also works on quite a number of old consoles like Dreamcast, Genesis, playstation etc, and should even work for C128 (which I plan to test as well) and MAYBE even the PET ;-)

You can also build one if you are handy with a soldering iron. :0)

have gotten in many of them over the years, but the output on all of them were crap, so they went for recycling. I could be remembering wrong, but I think there was a 3rd party version that was quite good, sorry if this sends you on a wild goose chase. could some of the members with more experience confirm or deny this?

Hi Frank, EBay is hit & miss. Either I miss a good deal or they want crazy money. There must be someone in this group that has an extra they could part with.

Hi, does anybody have a Commodore Amiga 520 Video Adapter that
they could sell. I don't have the space for a RBG monitor. Let me
know, thanks
