ST to VGA - Success :)

[Shredder11]

I used the phono plug composite input on the Supera coming from the STs monitor out socket and a SCART cable to composite adapter. I'll have a second bash at using a S-Video cable when I dig it out.

I'll have to add one of these to my list

Hey that's great news!
I ordered one last week and just had an email to say it's been shipped.
I'm hoping to use it with my Atari Jag on a huge 1600x1200 Iiyama TFT.

is yours flickery ?

I tested the svideo input on mine by connecting a dvd player to it and it's just as flickery, so mine might not be the best quality.

I'm going to try some different power bricks though.

Mine is not flickery at all and I am using a UK PSU with 1.2A output that I bought from CPC.co.uk

[matt]

Can you post the product code for it or a link to the CPC site?

[Shredder11]

CPC product code for PSU is PW01851

I'm also now using this as it does away with the need for a seperate SCART coupler, as mentioned in a previous post of mine:

Nice, thanks for those!

Share the knowledge

small update on mine, I unplugged it to check the voltage on the power brick, couldn't find a replacement, so just plugged it back in - the picture is noc much much better I'm guessing it had a poor contact or something, though I think changing the power brick to a proper UK plug model will be better.

I thought I would post a few more pics of the Supera Color HD in action, this time on my Sony 17" CRT monitor. I tried to get a photo without the monitor scanlines being visible but hey ho...never mind!

[Shredder11]

...and here is the same setup as mentioned in my last post but using an S-Video cable.

[Shredder11]

If you were wondering why the phono composite photos look sharper and the colour deeper and more vibrant, it is because I stupidly used auto enhancement in the photo editor. However this does look more accurate and true to the actual real display on the Sony CRT.

Nice work

As i have just purchased one of these i would like to know the connectivity options that are available and therefore what leads/connectors/adaptors are needed.Making leads if necessary is not a problem either,Thanks

The only cable(s) I had to supply myself were a composite M<->M phono or a S-Video M<->M; Everything else was supplied in the box. The S-Video inputs on the Supera Color HD are of the 9-pin type but they do supply an adapter to allow 4-pin cables like my grey one in my photo above. Oh and I used my own PSU (see my earlier post in this thread) because the supplied PSU was a 2 prong foreign type.

I am so impressed with this Supera Color HD box! It just works beautifully with everything and is a real steal at the price. I think it looks quite nice too compared to the other stuff on the market.

Hi again,i can see what you have done now i missed the scart adapter in the photograph.They sent me a uk power adaptor btw as i requested it.I used the link to the chinese ebay seller and it took about 2 weeks to arrive,£28

[matt]

That's great to know, nice work

[Shredder11]

Hi again,i can see what you have done now i missed the scart adapter in the photograph.

See page three of this topic for a link to where I bought this SCART adapter and a closer photo of it. If you read my posts in this topic you will see I used a combination of adapters which proved bulky and large, but this new adapter combines both into one tiny box. Dead cheap price too!

Today I have received mine. I don't think anybody has posted pictures conecting through RF... Well, just in case, there are mines:

BTW, my mobile camera is crap

Still waiting for mine to arrive.

Mine took almost a month! From Hong Kong to UK. I paid on 17th November and I received it yesterday At least the guy(s) are taking care and ask if you have received and/or had any problem.
