Note: Aspect ratio is wrong (correct one would require lineX4 support which is not there yet).I think the OSSC resolves main problems with the Amigas video output for many (judging from number of Amiga compatible monitor, scandoubler etc.It converts analog RGBcomponent video into digital format, and doubles (or triples) scanlines of a single frame if necessary to generate a valid mode for digital TVs or monitors.Most interesting features being (again from XRGB wiki): Linetriple-support for 240p288p with 4 different sampling modes Very low latency (less than 2 input scanlines) Full-range 24-bit RGB output through DVIHDMI This is it: I connected my Amiga 600 to the OSSC using a SCART lead (OSSC would take VGA also if you have VGA adapter for your amiga).
BAM - it works out of the box The OSSC has a lot of configuration options available but none of which needed to be tweaked. I know that some gaming consoles required fiddling around with settings but not Amiga it seems. However, after I used Overscan program to expand workbench screen to the max I had to adjust backporch settings a bit to get perfectly centered workbench. This is how it looks: Youll immediatly notice that the picture is a bit small despite of linetriple mode. It is because my monitor is 27 1440p monitor and sadly even linetriple mode is not enough. OSSC guys have promised 4x and 5x modes in the future which should address this issue also. And since it is open source, one could create custom firmware if they do not. Anyways most likely most of the people wont even have this problem because they either have full-hd displays or their displays can actually do scaling internally (mine cannot, which is a bit weird). Some more pictures, I enabled funny background pattern to see how crisp the picture is: Please notice that 99 of imperfections in the picture are actually due to my compact digital camera None of there color bleeding problems are there and picture is perfectly crisp unlike in photos. There are SLIGHT imperfections in the picture (like vertical color banding) which tells that DA-AD conversion is there, but nothing which would bother me at all when actually using the Amiga: Have to say that this is just perfect for me since VGA is not option for me at all (Indivision ECS, Jens, please do DVI version of it thanks). I can also connect other gear to the OSSC since it is not Amiga specific. The OSSC andor my monitor has torubles syncing to any non-standard display mode. PAL works fine and while the OSSC seems to sync to NTSC mode without a problem but my monitor seems not to sync to NTSC. Any more exotic display mode wont work for me - no productivity, no Super72, nothing. Either the OSSC wont sync or my montitor wont sync or there are problems with picture quality. But PAL, it works without an problem and thats what I were looking for. Edit: The OSSC now synch to most of the modes when using VGA adapter. Please notice that the OSSC wont do any frame buffering (thats why it is so good, no lag) so no scaling other than linedoublingtripling4x5x. Thats all I had to say about this unit. J Edit: Here are pixel-perfect advanced timing settings for common Amiga modes. I did not include lineX3 mode settings because its impossible to do in pixel perfect manner if correct aspect ratio is desired. PAL:HiRes (724x284), PAL:LowRes (362x284): 240p288p lineX3: Off H.
