Title: Prototv
Post by: dragon on 23:21, 14 June 22
Hi guys. I know normally  people of outside spain  don't know this (even in spain we don' know it :D.).

We generally mostly know the amstrad mp-3 and the their 3rd party equivalent of mht Ingenieros of Spain. Plus other more rare  from another country. 

But there is a Spanish company that create another TV turner around finally 1986.

Unfortunly this company enter in bankrup in 1987.The TV turner was sold very little time.So its extremally rare found one. 

I found one, I have not tested it(waiting wire) But i want share it. 

It accept the amstrad rgb signal(A) ,composite signal, and in theory outputs composite signal (B).

Not sure.

A is to connect the cpc B  is input/output composite.  You can connect the cpc in rgb and it output it in rgb and composite.

So I waiting a din 6 din 6 wire and a 5 din to female rca wire.

Anyway it appears don't work  I have try the snes and the spectrum +3 in rf. But it only shows a white screen.

I have update the album with pcb pictures.

Any ideas what I need take a look now around 2595?. I don't know what signals they use to generate it. (pins).

Unfortunly it's broke when I buy it.  He don't show image in the rgb output.


So I found a little 40 year old TV techinal service and I ask it if they can take a look if can be repaired.

And was there. Waiting diagnose.
