Solution for external Flicker fixer?

[Snoozy]

here is picture of my enclosure i bought from maplin...its about 30% too big and i can't get to the controls unless i open it up (2 minute job) but i've set the configuration and it auto saves anyway so thats fine

Sorry about the picture quality but someone was distracting me icard (see 2nd picture)

Hi all, I noticed there's a cost reduced version now available, seems they've removed a redundant DB15 jack:

hi the 8200 is an older version

 

[Snoozy]

I thought i'd put my pics up here as well since they seem more relevant here. This is the gbs 8220 in use with my Samsung 40" LED 8000 series tv

Looks terrible!

hi AmmoJammo

This is the gbs 8220 in use with my Samsung 40in

why does it look terrible

to me its great for that size screen

Yep, don't compare it to an RTG card or Indy ..

Personally I think it's a great solution for running games on an LCD, I definitely prefer it over having the big bulky 1080 or 1084 but to each its own ...

Ah I didn't notice the model number

OK another question; from the info provided it seems that the 8200 will do RGBHV & RGBS via the DB15 input

but the 8220 does RGBS only via the white connector?

is this just an "engrish" translation issue or accurate?

I have an Amigakit Amiga-RGB to VGA adaptor coming in the mail, with either of these boards can I use the adaptor and a VGA-VGA cable to connect my 500+ to a GBS82xx unit?

do you mean a vga to vga lead to the rgbhv signal input?

I mean:

a500+ -> DB23/DB15 Adaptor -> VGA Cable -> GBS etc

im asking because if it connects to the rgbhv signal input on the gbs i think the v/sync on the amiga is inverted so i dont think it will work.

well thats if that cable you talking about uses those signals from the amiga.

can anyone else confirm this?

ah ok, I wasnt aware of that - wasnt even sure if the amiga RGB was the S or HV variant.

well its got a c/sync a v/sync and a h/sync but i think the v/sync is inverted,sorry if im being boring.

I assume AJ is referring to the 4:3 pic being stretched to 16:9 (a massive no no in the HT scene). icard

well theres an aspect button(picture format), on mine anyway to view it in 4:3

not at all, im interested to know the details.

Btw, I discovered I have a SCART_RGB-to-Component transcoder in my old HT junk box that a mate had custom made to fix an issue with Topfield 5000pvrT's putting out oversaturated colours - might have to grab an Amiga to Scart cable and see if it chokes on the 15khz sync rate.
