RGB to NTSC Converter - Can use with 128?
in [Commodore]

From: Payton Byrd on 30 Mar 2010 21:20 I seem to have found a little gem that may server as an economical means of converting the 128's RGB to NTSC signals. The URL is http://www.converters.tv/products/cga_to_ntsc/68.html Would someone with some hardware experience take a look at this kit and tell me if it could be plausible for use on a 128? The S-VIDEO output would be especially sweet with modern LCD TVs.

The C128 outputs RGBI (16 colours) and that unit will only handle 8 unless you add some additional circuitry. Also, the price of the unit in the link is way too high... Anyway, checkout the Commodore128 Alive forum for a discussion of a similar (same?) unit here: http://www.commodore128.org/index.php?topic=2247.0 Steve
