#Cheap S-VHS from 2000
4 messages in this thread
Can anyone recommend a cheap way to get S-VHS output from my Amiga
2000? (I just got a nice big tv w/decent res and S-VHS input, that
I'd like to use instead of cluttering the living room w/another monitor.)
I don't need gen lock or other capabilities, just want
good quality s-vhs output.
Well, 'good quality' is a subjective phrase 🙂
I use the DigiFex video adapter. It plugs into the RGB port, and delivers
either composite, or S-VHS output out. I find the quality fine for my own
stuff, and for some business video I've done. Costs about $100 give or
take. I doubt if it is 'broadcast' quality though (whatever *that* means)
🙂
Next step up are the S-VHS genlocks; there are several available.

Several companies make an "encoder" which fits in the video slot and has
jacks on the back (or is an external unit). These usually go for about
$100. If it has an S-Video jack you are all set. If it does not, then
Redmond cable will sell you a cable to connect the chroma and luma RCA
jacks to the S-video connector.
My A2000 has the internal encoder with the chroma and luma RCA jacks. I
got the Redmond S-Video cable. Works like a champ.
