Talk:Flicker fixer

Needs a rewrite
First off, "flickerFixer" was the name of a product by Microway. In other words, it's a trademark, although one that came to be used generically among Amiga users for any de-interlacer. Mirror Vax 21:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * That would be very good to note. Otherwise it looks like it's begging for a, since there are a great many deinterlacers that aren't called flicker fixers.  --Interiot 02:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

IIRC, the "Flicker Fixer" was a proper name for a video card. CBM called theirs the "Display Enhancer". It was also referred to as a flicker fixer, as that is exactly what it did.

Being picky, NTSC and PAL are video transmission systems. The Amiga did *not* output signals in these formats, but rather analog RGB at NTSC & PAL scan rates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.111.236.2 (talk) 03:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

NTSC and PAL are standard methods of formatting video signals, especially colour ones. The Amiga was designed with these standards in mind, such that the A2000 has a mono Composite Video Signal out, in monochrome, and I do believe the A1200 was colour. You could buy a device (the A520?) that converted the monitor out signals to a colour CVS signal for a television.
