exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Silly question, but I just noticed that the video connector on the Falcon is different than the ST. I use a ST-SCART cable for my video (going to the OSSC and HDMI monitor). What's the best way to get video output from the Falcon?

I have the OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter) that I usually just connect my retro computers using SCART, but I also have some Commodore 1084 (Amiga) monitors.

It still has a RGB output. Just the connector which is different. I just swap the connector on a scart cable to fix the falcon video port (like 20 years ago I think) and been using my falcon with my TV like that ever since.

@sirpete The easiest way is to look out for the two "official" Atari adaptors for this DB19 port.
One has the usual ST connector for the low/mid RGB modes (you can use your Scart cable), the other adapter has a VGA connector to use with standard VGA cables.
VGA in combination with the OSSC gives a really awesome picture quality!
The ST adapter I only use for some games and demos.

But I think it will be hard to find these adapters (one of it came with Falcon, the other was sold seperately) nowadays. :roll:

Building two cables for VGA and RGB/Scart as exxos explained is the other option.
But even finding (affordable) DB19 connectors for the Falcon port isn't easy. You might crop a DB25 connector to fit, which looks ugly and isn't the best solution of course.

I do have DB19s in my store, I use them for these adapters.. https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/store2/#0146

That in itself might be a easier option :shrug:

So I'll either need this adapter:
FALCON 030 3 IN 1 MONITOR ADAPTER £30 15 In Stock [0146]

OR:
a DB19 and I would wire my own SCART (you don't have these in your store right? I only see the female ones)


OR:
I could temporarily use single jumper wires to connect the correct pins on my ST SCART cable to the back of the Falcon port?

And how long is typical shipping from your store to the USA? 3-4 weeks with basic/budget shipping?

You could do any I guess. The falcon plugs are female aren't they? So you just need a scart cable.
