[comp.sys.amiga.tech] NTSC -> PAL

unhd (Nick C Fitanides) (02/25/90)

    I would like to know if there's a way to use PAL on a 2000 with a Flicker
Fixer and a Zenith 14" VGA monitor.  Also, what cable do I need to connect
the monitor to the normal 2000 video port?  I would like to check an animation
problem where I have ghosting on the display (could be FF, could be Monitor--
I don't know which).  Do I need the Fat Agnus to get PAL, also how about the
scan rate and monitor compatibility?  Anyone?


						-Infinitely curious,

Flicker fixer comes in two versions, NTSC and PAL. You cannot use PAL with
an NTSC flicker fixer.

VGA monitors like the Zenith cannot be connected directly to the Amiga.
They will not operate at the 15.75 KHz scan rate that the Amiga uses.
