Indivision AGA MK2
« on: December 20, 2010, 02:19:03 PM »
Hi guys,

I've noticed that on Individual Computers' website it says that "Indivision AGA MK2" is in the works. Does anyone know when it will be released, how will it differ from the original, and finally if it will support the A4000 as well? (its description mentions only A4000T and A1200 support, from what it seems).

Furthermore, does any dealer still carry the original 4000D version?


Thanks!

My understanding is that it will be available sometime next year, connector will be DVI-I, and it will have improved memory performance (vsynced 75Hz PAL mode for us CRT junkies).

More info in this EAB thread.

At Vesalia http://www.vesalia.de/e_indivisionaga4000d.htm :
 
Indivision AGA 4000D/CD32

Flickerfixer for Amiga 4000 and CD32


The Indivision AGA 4000D shown in the picture is a prototype board, the actual product available in March will be blue instead of white.

You can pre-order with Vesalia. My guess is that they buy a certain quantity from IC based on the number of pre-orders + a guesstimate of sale.

A scandoubler for my 4000T?  Count me in.  I can't wait to get rid of the clunky external on mine (it keeps getting bumped off the connector since there's no way to screw it into the video port ;D)

Cool.. I'll have to get the new version for my a4000 040. I wonder how high gfx mode would run on stock 040/25 16mb?

HighGFX mode is slow in more than 16 colors even with a 060.

This just dawned on me!  Now why would you want a DVI-I connector and vsynced 75hz for a CRT?  I don't even know of any CRTs that have DVI connectors.

Even if you do get a CRT monitor with a DVI connector, it's still going to be an analog signal (though I guess coming from an Amiga it would be anyhow?  Analog-digital-analog....)

Thinking about it though, I could actually just get a VGA-DVI adapter now and connect that to the backplane instead of the vga connector from the Indivision AGA MKI that I currently have if I wanted natural DVI.  But then again I have a Radeon with DVI and the VGA from the Indivision connected to an LCD monitor at the same time so I can just switch between the two when needed.

@magnetic

As Xanxi said, the HighGFX mode is rather slow, but from what I understand the MKII is supposed to have some faster bits to it so that may change.

I currently have a A4000 040/25 and a Mediator with Radeon and you can definitely tell there is a large speed difference in 1024x768 16million colors on the radeon compared to the 1024x768 256 colors of the HighGFX.

DVI-I carries both analog and digital signals, so connection to a CRT is easily done with an adapter.

The reason for vsynced 75Hz is for smooth scrolling with much less flicker than 50Hz, especially when using more recently produced (short phosphor persistence) CRTs.

The next Indivision will output both. This is good news for LCDs, as I found the internal ribbon cable of the first Indivision to degrade image quality somewhat, and many LCDs lack comprehensive adjustments for tweaking analog input to perfection. It also gives a greater shot at smooth scrolling, many LCDs handle 75Hz correctly (at least mine do).

How is the Indivision AGA mk2 project coming along? Is there a working prototype yet?
