DblScan 4000

INTRODUCTION TO THE DBLSCAN 4000

DblScan 4000 upgrades the Amiga's PAL/NTSC screenmodes, unsuitable for regular VGA/SVGA/Multisync monitors, in a way that any PC's monitor is able to show them. The resulting effect is completely compatible with all Amiga programs.

DblScan 4000's output is full 24 bit, so not a single bit of picture information is lost. Only the screenmodes which need upgrading are affected by the device, all other modes are fed right through with absolutely no changes.

DblScan 4000 is a terrific way to get even realistic interlaced pictures and animations viewable at a large computer monitor. It shows interlaced screens exactly in the same order as a video monitor would, while reducing the flicker by preventing line drawings over the previous lines. With the aid of a graphics card with pass-through for Amiga graphics, the same monitor can be used for a very high resolution Workbench.

Technical info:

Method of operation:

PLP DblScan 4000 feeds the Amiga's scanlines at doubled frequency, adding an empty line after each scanline. This results as a 15kHz-able monitor look at any monitor capable of 31kHz. Unlike a flicker fixer, which combines the two buffered interlace fields, PLP DblScan 4000 shows interlaced pictures correctly with full 50/60 Hz field update.

Availability:

PLP DblScan 4000 has been available from March 1st 1996. The current list price is $180 plus shipping costs. If you live in European Community, please add 22% VAT. Visa/OK/Mastercard/Eurocards orders are preferred. We are looking for distributors around the world.
