+remowilliams Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I've been waiting for various video projects I've seen to become available for a while and finally decided to give RGBtoHDMI a try. I've been pretty lucky with my STs given the varying amount of noise/artifacts that can appear in ST video but my real problem child is my 520ST. I've always been interested in having an original 520ST unit (I like the form factor and ports🙂) and the 520ST I acquired and upgraded looks decent on an Atari RGB monitor but has really distractingly unacceptable video noise in its signal when used with modern displays and converters (of which I have many...) So now this little guy with almost no install effort has perfect HDMI output so far. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Awesome! Was there much soldering involved for you or did you get the parts that seem to take that aspect out of it? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 The kit I picked up was all preassembled boards, and even came with both ST and Amiga install sockets. Soldering was literally two wires, H/V sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 A couple of images since I realized RGBtoHDMI can do captures by itself : D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then he didn't supply the ST Shifter adaptor, nice. However this "3 wires only" installation applies only to older STs. If you have the Shifter in a QFP package, you have to solder all the 16 (or so) wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Anyone know right off hand if the STacy has the QFP package? I saw in the comments section at that site, that someone had posted it worked with the STacy but I didn't notice if they had mentioned it worked with 3 wires or 16... Thanks.

I'm not about to open mine up but looking at pictures it seems STacy has a socketed shifter. Though I don't know if there are revisions that changed this. The other question is would you be able to fit the shifter socket adapter in that spot on a STacy... Soldering all the wires would be annoying but should be easy as I think its mostly resistor pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
