: I have found a little more info. The AVerkeys are : PAL/NTSC switchable(by the remote control I think) : The Scart RGB is on units sold in the USA as well. : As I said before the RGB out is via a HD15 female : not a normal big scart connector. These units : are meant to be the one of best video out of the : diferent brands of scan connverters. The picture : to me looked the same as the output from Mame in : arcade mode, but the cost of these units are alot : more than a video card which can output to arcade : monitor with software. So I guess the only real : advantage is that you can use the AVerkey with : any video card and turn on the arcade monitor and : the computer at the same time. : : The NTSC versions won't have scart output. We're living in the stone age in the US. : : Tim : : : : : I noticed at work some scan converters for repair that had Scart RGB : : : output on them and wondered if that would work with an : : : arcade monitor, it does!. It is the first time I have : : : seen the bios boot up on my arcade monitor. I used : : : two differnt models of the AVerkey the AVerkey3+ and : : : the AVerkey500. Both are the same except that the AVerkey500 has sharpness control and more inputs and : : : outputs. The picture on both looked the same except the 500 with the 2 levels of sharpness made the picture a bit clearer one the first level the second level made : : : the picture clearer but with flicker ( the same as monarc in 640x480 mode). : : : The only bad thing is that : : : the screen was cut off at the top I am using the PAL : : : version which has 625 lines on an arcade monitor which : : : is NTSC 525 lines, maybe a NTSC version of the AVerkey : : : would fit the whole screen in? Also one other minor : : : thing is that the power does not come on automatically : : : so if you were to put this in a cab you would have to : : : power this up sepatate. : : : The Scart RGB out on the unit is a HD15 female so it is : : : very easy to hook up the the Jamma harness. I have not : : : got any more info on these units as I just have the unit itself no manual of remote control etc. But there : : : is a web site, I don't know how much they cost either. : : : Has anyone else done this? : : : Ryan : : :
