RGB-to-HDMI Adapter for Amiga 500 (NEW) with Optional HDMI Audio

RGM-to-HDMI Adapter for Amiga 500—NEW with optional HDMI audio adapter!

This adapter outputs the RGB signals from the Amiga 500 to HDMI via a Raspberry Pi. The adapter is installed in the Amiga 500’s Denise socket, and the Denise chip is plugged into the adapter. We offer the adapter in two versions, with and without HDMI audio: either the adapter alone or as a complete set. In the adapter-only version, you must flash the CPLD yourself, plug in a Raspberry Pi Zero, and configure the software. The Plug & Play version includes everything you need and is preconfigured for immediate use. For HDMI audio, an additional circuit board is required, which is soldered “piggyback” beneath the Raspberry Pi connector.

The RGB-to-HDMI adapter was developed by @LinuxJedi Andrew Hutchings based on designs by “IanSB,” “c0pperdragon,” and “hoglet67.” Many thanks also to Daniel Jameson @drdpj @danielj (Bluesky) for the RGB2HDMI Audio Add-on. We’re happy to offer a little support for this outstanding project.

We manufacture the RGB to HDMI adapters in House.
