S-Video to RGB

[Fox-1 / mnx]

What's a good way to convert S-Video (and CVBS) to analog RGB signals?

 

I need an external solution without digital upscaler that works with stock XL's/XE's (PAL and NTSC).

Pricey or complex job, doesn't seem to be a middle ground.

The CP-VSRGB seems to be very picky with it's input signal so I expect problems with the weird signals of the XL's.

 

I read about the TDA3330 but examples from someone who actually did something with it are not around. I wonder if it even exists :-)

I did a spot check on eBay because I had the same

wonderings. 5 for $20 and $14 per each were just a

couple of at least 5 sellers still selling them so

yes they are out there. A website that used to have

a schematic of such a circuit indicated that some

of the inductors required might be difficult to

procure but I didn't run down that road at all.

 

Sounds like a real project no matter which road is

taken. Breadboard set up is likely to be a very good

antenna too, have you ever gotten the neighbors mad

at you before?

Well, as a former 1KWatt+ CB-er in a residential area... of course not :-)

 

As there don't seem to be worthwhile alternatives I'm afraid I've no other option then using an upscaler to VGA/HDMI to feed an O.S.S.C. and just hope that it can handle the Atari signals.
