Greetings, I'm looking for a cheap (ie around $300 Canadian or US) RGB to composite/S-VHS encoder. I don't need a genlock yet. All I need is a clean video out (amiga RGB to S-VHS). Anybody have any leads into this? Every model I've seen so far is loaded with bells and whistles than jack up the price into the $1000 dollar range. Please post some address's or company names, I'm in desperate need!!!!! (and frightfully ignorant to boot...)

(and frightfully ignorant to boot...) Check out the NEC SVC-10. It has analog RGB input/output and S-video input/ output and audio in/out. It has been a while since I used it, but I think it does not do the S-video to RGB conversion, just the others plus loop-throughs. I use it to record animations/graphics onto S-VHS and also drive a second "living room 25" Sony RGB TV/monitor" looks great! If I remember correctly, I think it sold for around $150. Not bad! -- Art Warner wwarner@en.ecn.purdue.edu Amiga makes it happen.......IBM, Mac, Sun, and Next make it expensive!

(and frightfully ignorant to boot...) A good, inexpensive encoder (~$100US) is the VIP Video Interface from DigiFeX (503) 656-8818. Composite, Chroma/Luma, S-VHS, and has an RGB monitor buffered passthru. -- +------+ William J.

Greetings, I have a real cheap encoder by Creative MircoSystems. It has composite out and luma and chroma. (Unfortunately the luma and chroma signals are coming out of RCA connectors). My question, to answer you question is... Is it possible to make a Y/C connector out of these two luma and chroma connectors easily? (Since that is what essentially the the Y/C connector does) or do you have to sync the two signals with something. Otherwise the cost is $150.00 canadian currency.
