S-Video mod for STE, ST ...

[Shredder11]

So your new video box is good for colour but cannot do the monochrome hi-res mode?

[Nikolas]

It can, i got vga in and vga out swich_box for low/mid res and hi black white signals go into new video box.
Thats ST_rgb = monocrome out to new video box and out of dvi out into any dvi monitor.

Now i going to take pictures and post it here


50/60hz works fine for low and/mid res thru s-video

Monocrome out as black and white vga into home made swichbox into new video box.

This picture was taken as steady hand not muving camera.
STlow res - direct S-video out, to video box pixels look nice and sharp.(sharpness be adjusted by new video box)

Right I see, so you are doing things the same way as myself (read the whole topic!) http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17488&hilit=Supera+Color+HD&start=50#p157363. So how much did your AVerMedia AVerTV A215 cost and where from?

[Nikolas]

AVerTV Hybrid STB 1080i
Cost was 130 euros. From internet shop in slovenia.
This devise has no flikers no vibrating picture and do auto fixind picture in real time.

I have an atari 1040STFM, i removed the RF modulator because had issues! i haven't any composite signal on the pin2 from monitor out, either composite sync or composite video. I can do the s-video modification or can't work? i have change the transistor Q200 with a new one, but the problem remains! maybe others stuff on composite video line have issues...registor, capasitors etc.

I notice you're all using PAL systems, there isn't any reason this shouldn't work on a NTSC STfm is there?

Hi I have a SECAM STe (pretty sure it was a 520STe with the 4MB RAM) making it a 4160STe. My problem is this I am in a PAL Region (Australia) I can get it to power on & boot & everything passes it's tests when booting. I can only get hi-res to work using the 13 pin > RGB plugged into my LG 701s Studio Works CRT (everything else I've tried has failed) I still don't get full screen either.

So therefore I am looking for viable mods to do to it to get it working. Or perhaps a frequency shifter (15Hz) it runs @ 30Hz on my CRT.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I'm new here and trying to get best of my ST so..
I have a PAL 520 Stfm and using composite signal via supera color Hd box but picture is as good as useless even in low-res. The box accepts also s-video signal so I thought that PPeras s-video mod could be a good solution for me. Unfortunately there is very little space around mc1377 for soldering etc. it would help a lot if I remove tv modulator first, then there would be a place for s-video connector also via tv modulator connector hole. I was wondering if I can remove tv modulator or does it affect somehow future use of ST (can I for example connect my st to a tv via rgb scart cable after this mod?

Regards Mark

Secam STE ? Is such made at all ever ? Anyway, you certainly have no PAL composite output from machine, so it is normal that works not. Best solution would be to use RGB output on TV which has input for it - if there is SCART connector on TV is is likely that it has RGB mode too.
Other solution is to use freq. shifter, but you need such, which accepts RGB signal, and not only composite or S-Video.

does anyone had Pperas videos or pictures at hd? I n starting this project but that page is closed. Those instructions are not clear to me?

yes i visited that place

my Ste motherboard is different than in pics

i can see the 2 coils but after that its mystery to me... where is the correct resistor to connect to videchip ??

actually now with other pics what i found i can do this thx

After doing s-video mod

picture isnt super crisp and there is distortion (green color is flashin and wave interference)
i added resistor to croma line and its helped, but using it 10-20min it will lost all colors
So i got RGB cable brand new for dirt cheap now new problems occurs

Using Ste RGB Scart cable picture is blurry and it has shadow
but if i connect s-video mod cable to my JVC pro monitor at same time picture comes mega clear and superb!

so do i have to connect composite and ground from there to DIN socket under pcb?
