Multivision 500 Amiga 500 scandoubler
Posted by Retro Amiga User under Amiga 500 , Hardware , UncategorizedNo Comments
The Multivision 500 is a scandoubler/flicker fixer for the Amiga 500 (that can also function with an Amiga 1000) and is internally mounted. The small circuit board is pressed into the Denise socket, and the Denise chip is removed and mounted onto the Multivision.
It is a bit difficult to tell how good the picture quality is with this unit since I lack a classic CRT monitor, I have yet to found a TFT which can present scandoubled Amiga modes without horizontal lines or blurriness. Even though picture quality is somewhat fuzzy on my TFT it still seems to be sharp.

The external box is what makes the MutiVision500 unique. Perhaps you have seen the Multivison scandoubler for the Amiga 2000? It does also have the same rotary dial. The rotary dial is for controlling noise level of the sound output on the Amiga since the small box contains a minimal stereo amplifier and two small audio connectors. This might not seem so crazy once you think about it since the box is meant to mimic the A520 to some degree.
