Einen LYNX am TV-Gerät
Die US Firma Wizztronics liefert einen Adapter der es
ermöglicht einen LYNX am heimischen TV-Gerät zu betreiben.
Der Adapter existiert in einer internen und einer externen
Lösung. Bei -beiden- Lösungen muß der LYNX
geöffnet und im inneren gelötet werden!
Der Preis dieser Erweiterung übersteigt den LYNX Kaufpreis
bei weitem.
Die "TableTop" Lösung kostet $199.00 US Dollar.
Ein Prototype wurde auf der WORLD OF ATARI 98 Show in Las Vegas
gezeigt. Ab hier finden sie alle weiteren Informationen im original:
Internal version:
The installation is now being finalized, currently requires
removal of the rear cover and soldering in place a small Printed
Circuit board over a group of 26 pins. Estimated installation time is
20 Minutes.
Full aspect ratio has been maintained.
Flip Screen Function implemented. for Left or Right Handed
operation.*
We will be offering Installation in your existing LYNX Game, or
purchase of a complete pre-modified game console. Over the coming
weeks we will announce the full features of this device as well as it
being a fully internal unit or a combination of internal and external,
TBD (to be determined)
Full internal installation will cause a slightly higher drain when
using batteries.
Outputs:
* 1 output for Video RCA and 1 for Stereo audio.(mini jack for
audio). A template will be provided to assist you in drilling the
necessary holes to accommodate the Video RCA jack.
External, there are no ill effects, your Lynx will* maintain it's
full functionality as it did before,* with the exception of the added
TV output capabilities. There will still be a soldered PC board needed
internally (you must install) and a DB15 cable that will connect your
Lynx to the external box (the TV control unit). From this control unit
you will have both Audio and Video cables attached to you TV/VCR or
auxiliary inputs of your entertainment center.
* Flip function to be added in released version.
The image to the right is what we started with, over 100 discrete
Integrated circuits. What we will have will be less than 10 when the
converter is completed. With over 650 engineering hours already spent
we are closing in on the completion of this new project, all in the
attempt to make game playing more enjoyable.
External Design shown at WOA98. This model requires an adapter
soldered into the Lynx game unit.
Internal Design requires soldering (fits inside Lynx Hand Held
game)
