What's this Atari thing?
category: general [glöplog]
Someone on a mailing list I'm on found this among his collected pieces of trash. What does it do? Is it good for anything?
It looks like a TV-modulator to me...
It is a monitor switchbox so you can attach a 15 kHz RGB monitor and an SM124 or VGA compatible screen at the same time, there should be a black switch to toggle between em...
Hmmm, btw its only used on Atari ST(E) machines
i have a thing like that and i dont know what it is for or what it does or what it is
it seems to be alot of things
why not plug it in and find out?
i am trying to work out how to plug my thing in without electricuting myself or having babies :))

cxt: sounds like a handy thing to have on demoparties.. could it replace havoc's video recorder? or am i totally not getting what this does? :)
hey caveman did it come out of one of those time capsules?
it looks 'elite' to me

it atari, it's useless crap.
RAS ATARI !!!
@skrebbel I don't think so, it just offers 3 different output choices
1) RGB for low and medium resolution (15 KHz screen required)
2) monochrome VGA (something below 35 KHz)
3) Mono Audio Cinch
4) possibly FBAS via Cinch
The switch on the back toggles the monochrome detect and some other lines which will cause the ST to reboot when activated.
However this device doesn't contain a scandoubler, so it cannot replace havoc's odd video recorder :)

rastATARIan?
nope 2 mm cut
Note that I successfully recorded a STe output using a recent consumer (Pioneer) video DVD recorder. It has a SCART input, handles 15kHz RGB even non-interlaced (since the Atari outputs what we can call 288p, not 576i), converts everything to standard PAL (keeping the 50fps) and can even be used as a converter : it outputs RGB, composite video, S-video and component video. In my case I used it to record the STe output on a broadcast VCR using YPbPr (component) outputs of the DVD recorder.
This recorder costed around 500€ at the time we bought it because it has a hard drive, but it's still a lot cheaper than standard professionnal converters (around 4000€ for non-HD ones).

Rockst, well for PAL stuff you can get a DV-bridge for 200 euros.
Whatever you do, DON'T OPEN IT!
... UNTIL XMAS!! :D

Influence Device: you never know, it could be a trap, some evil Amiga device in disguise ;)
:(
It's full of galactic super-lightweight uranium. And a tonne of bass. Is dangerous.
