I didn't open mine up either, but with the various controls on the back I was able to increase vertical height and horizontal width and keep the aspect ration looking just fine.
Steve, Haven't had mine open yet, so I can't adjust it properly. Adjusting the height to give no border messes up the aspect ratio, since the horizontal remains the same. -larry
Larry, I've got the ImTec also. I adjusted the vertical height and have no perceptable border on top and bottom. -sja
John, Running from bootable disks means that your Preferences settings will be taken from the disk you booted from. If the disk is not a protected game, you should be able to use Preferences to center the screen. -larry
Paul: Yes, I have had a FlickerFixer since shortly after they came out. I am using the Thompson 4375M monitor. The image quality is pretty good but does not completely fill the screen. I have about a 1/2 inch at the top and a 1/4 inch elsewhere (max size that…
I have Live! for the 2000. The best HAM pictures I have been able to grab look poor poor when compared to DigiView stills. Pictures I have seen made by the PP framegrabber look better. Of course, there are other differences between the products but best picture goes to the…
Rick, The 2002 was a re-named 1080, the pinouts for the 1080 were: 1 Ground 2 Ground 3 Red 4 Green 5 Blue 6 Digital Intensity 7 Composite Sync 8 H Sync 9 V Sync I think you'll find the 2002 pinouts to be the same. Don
Just got my FF up and running with the Zenith. I definitely second your comments on color! One minor problem however. When I run any bootable disks, the display will not center hoizontally. When I adjust the monitor adjustment screw as far as it will go, the display still has…
I appreciate the rapid response to my querry. I went and looked at a couple of monitors today and believe that I will get the Taxan. I'll post a report after everything is setup and had some use. Thanks again. I appreciate the rapid response to my querry. I went…
#MONITOR PIN-OUTS
Message #29206
HELP! I NEED THE PIN-OUTS FOR THE COMMODORE 2002 RGB PORT (IT'S A DB-9 CONNECTOR). I NEED TO HOOK IT UP TO AN AMIGA 1000. OH I FORGOT, THE 2002 IS A COMMODORE MONITOR. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
I have heard Peter Silverstone, who design FF, recommend the Taxan because of the small border. If you will be doing some video work as well the Mitsubishi Diamondscan has NTSC inputs as well as analog RGB and VGA. I use the Zenith ZCM-1490 (flat screen, VGA only). You have…
Paul, I have a Samsung (brand name IMtec), attached to my flickerFixer. It gives me a border about 1/2" on each side, and about 3/8" top and bottom, with a 704*470 screen. -larry
#flicker fixer
Message #29012
I have an amiga 2000 and am in the process of purchasing a "flicker fixer" but am not sure which monitor to buy to go with it. Does anyone have a flicker fixer board installed, if so which monitor are you using? I would like the smallest border possible. I'm…
Frame Grabber/Live 2000
Message #28906
I would be very interested in talking to anyone who has used : 1) Progressive Peripherals Frame Grabber, or 2) A-Squared System's LIVE-2000 to capture color images real time from a camcorder or VCR. So far on CIS, I have not seen even one message from someone who uses either…

Instant color Capture
Message #28544
Bill, You might look into FrameGrabber by Progressive Peripherals and Software. It can grab full color HAM images in 1/30th second. You should be able to find it advertised in Amiga specific magazines. Although I don't own one, I have heard good reports from those who do. Nick

Amiga to Video?
Message #28061
Transport Controller was designed for just that purpose; editing short segments together seamlessly. Right now, if you want to use Sculpt and don't want to save images to disk, you must use the BCD controller (also supported by Transport Controller). I uploaded the file "TCCOMP.ARC" into dl10 of AmigaVendor; it'll…
John, 1) The AG7500, like most VCRs, does not inherently have single-frame capability. It is the interface hardware that provides this ability. The interface hardware provides it for many machines, some much cheaper than the $5000 for the AG7500. The only requirement for the VCR is that it is an…
Mike, thanks for your reply. Several questions: 1) You are using the Panasonic AG7500 S-VHS deck. Does this deck have the single frame capability, or do you move to another deck for that editing? Price (approx)? For average use, would this deck be suitable for nearly all editing purposes? (ie.…

#Amiga to Video?
Message #27732
I have my Amiga controlling a Panasonic AG7500 S-VHS deck. I am using the program "Transport Controller", available from MicroIllusions, which just happens to have been written by me. You also need the interface twixt the Amiga and the VCR (1/2", 3/4", 1", BetaCam, etc.), which can run from $2K…
I also have the color splitter with Digi-View on a 500. I wish they would include a color chart or something. It takes quite a while to get the colors to balance out right if they ever will ! Gary
#Color Splitter
Message #22931
I have borrowed my friend's Color Splitter by Sunrize, and as promised, here is a quick report based on two hours use with Digi-View and my camcorder: The unit consists of a small beige box that hooks up between your video source and digitizer. The front panel features knobs for…
DigiView Cameras
Message #20315
I would like to finally get around to buying DigiView. Currently, I have no video camera and have intended to buy the recommended Panasonic B/W. However, some people where I work have told me there are some unused surveillance cameras I might be able to get hold of. Can anyone…
Best Monitor?
Message #20242
I'm considering a new monitor and would like your opinion of image quality for several different models. I am espcially interested in any problems with image size or with linear distortion.

Multiscan with Tuner?
Message #19972
Vic, that's correct, the bandwidth requirement for a two bitplane hires 31.5 KHz screen will be about the same as a 4 bitplane hires 15.75 KHz screen. In this situation the Amiga takes a significant performance hit if the cpu or a dma device accesses chip ram. The current two…

Multiscan with Tuner?
Message #19971
Ariel, I expect that most users would not have much need for the new mode if they have a flicker fixer so a VGA monitor is a reasonable choice. However, software developers who must test for compatibility with all supported modes would be better off getting a multi-scan. There are…

#Multiscan with Tuner?
Message #19805
The C= chip designers did a great job maintaining compatibility between the enhanced chip set and the current one. All the current amiga modes behave the same with the new chips and are deinterlaced by the flicker fixer. The new mode (640 x 400, non-interlace, 4 colors out of 64)…

A500/NEC Multisync
Message #17038
Sure it works, you need to hook up the ANALOG pins from the Amiga to the ANALOG pins of the Multi-sync and the Composite Sync from the Amiga to the Composite sync input of the Multi-syunc.

#Atari ST monitor
Message #15576
I just hooked up the appropriate R,G,B, and SUNC lines, and it worked fine. I did go inside and fiddle with the size controls, and may have tweaked the an internal brightness pot as well, but if I remember right I did not have a problem with brightness at all.…

WB1.3 Questions

04-Dec-88 03:27:54 CBM has defined standard in which the file system resides on HD (it takes about 30 blocks). This allows autobooting without an ofs partition. When/if the file system is again upgraded, this allows file system update to the harddrive without requiring a rom change. Currently, only GVP and…
