Amiga 1200 S-Video Demonstration

This is a little demonstration video showing my Amiga 1200 surfing the web on a new LCD monitor via the new S-Video adapter from www.amigamaniac.com

The monitor has a built-in flicker-fixer, so even though the resolution is Super High Res Interlaced (1376 x 536) the picture is rock solid. There is some blurring of the pixels as there is with all LCD monitors trying to display anything other than their native resolution, but apart from that it's quite nice and very usable.

I'm using IBrowse to surf the web and WookieChat to chat with my friends on IRC.

why would you use s-video when you can use rgb via scart?

@cakestalker

Who is implying anyone would use S-Video if their TV had RGB-Scart? In Australia and America it's far more common to find TVs with S-Video than Scart inputs.

where can i get that card hanging out the back so i can link up a pc monitor? please help!

@ThreeDLee09

You can get them from the AmigaManiac website that I visit in this video but you need a LCD TV that has S-Video input.

You know that people who used (and uses, like here) Amiga are getting older when their own children appear on the video. :/

[AmigaCammy]

Hey, I'm just as old as the Amiga is, we both came out in 1985, I don't have children of my own, and my parents were never Amiga users either. I don't know whose children you're referring to, but there are none in my videos.

Nice seeing another 26 year old girl using the Amiga! Well... I'm 27 now actually, but close enough. I'm hoping to get an A1200 set-up again. My last one was sold in 2005.

@AmigaCammy

ah, i knew the u.s didn't really use scart but i thought australia used scart more or less as much as europe.

Hello Cammy. Can you please tell me when this nice kit will be available again? There is a message in amigamaniac site that says in two weeks, but since when? Thank you for your time!
