Video converter for PAL

OK
It fits in the Video Slot of an A4000, wrong backplate for A2000
and the SAA1043 is a PAL / NTSC Encoder chip
doesn't look complex enough for a video capture card, so my guess it is some sort of output card providing S-Video & Composite Video.
Question is why would such a card exist, therfore I maybe wrong :lol:
Edit ---- Ah Bwian found it before me as I was posting, Looks like I was right..
TC :cool:
SAA1043P is a video synchronization generator so if this is an Amiga card then it almost certainly plugs into a video slot.
Ahh, so all it does is provide svideo and composite and another rgb port?Quote:

I have one of these cards in my A3000. It's kinda pointless, but an interesting novelty to have, at least.
Well, saves me from getting a rgb->svideo adapter, at least.Quote:

You never know. As soon as you pass up the purchase, you'll have a need for one and have to pay three times as much. That's how I justify all of my purchases :whistle:
It's an internal modulator, but a far better one then any 520/2020. Does not do RF though.
Actually the SVHS/Composite out on these cards are pretty darn good, they were used in presentation systems back in the day. Often found in Scala Workstations (A4000's relabeled by Scala).
