RGB to VGA upscaler for the QL

Post by Outsoft »

Hi to all guys.

I would like to put a second QL postation here in my office for make more fastly the dumps.

But here I've only VGA monitors, so I would like to know If someone can suggest me a good RGB to VGA upscaler.

I simply need to put the QL from his RGB in a 1024x768 resolution on a old 15" TFT monitor.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Best regards.

Simone,

the cheap GBS-8220 RGB to VGA converters you get on eBay work quite well.

SCART from the QL? Well, you'd need to solder a cable, then. The GBS-8220 wants R, G, B and composite sync from the QL.

Yes it is possible. For example SCART to HDMI.

Not so cheap but a good investment as you can use it also for a number of other retro-computers (I use it also for Amiga, ST, Electron, C64, etc.).

yes dear, is the same I use on my QL right now ;)

Just need to use it one at my office with a VGA monitor ^_^

I think is better to use a TV with HDMI too.

I guess that you already had a look at this:
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/hardware/ql2vga.pdf

The first part includes a SCART to VGA adapter.
