UpScaling Video converter

Designed to enable the use of moderm monitors with older computers, the Microbee UpScaling video converter allows for analogue or digital inputs. The digital mode converts true CGA digital input (RGB + Intensity) and provides the proper CGA color map. This is the mode that is used by the Microbee Premium, Premium Plus & 256TC models, along with regular IBM PC’s (CGA) and numerous other computers. Also included is a jumper ‘C128FIX’ to adapt the normal CGA color set to match the Commodore 128’s 80 column mode color set (dark yellow of the CGA set is brown in the C128’s color set). The analogue mode allows for use with other computers that have true analogue outputs, such as the Commodore Amiga (the converter has been tested with the Amiga & works brilliantly!)

The UpScaling Video converter was Initially designed as a kit that featured in Silicon Chip Magazine and Everyday Practical Electronics. It has been so popular that we’ve put them into production as fully assembled & tested. Not only that, but we have 2 versions with different output connectors : 15 pin VGA connector, and HDMI.
