How to view composite input?

[protocol7]

As a spur of the moment thing I decided to dig out my two old Amigas to see what state they were in after years of being left idle. Happily both seem in working order (but I had to tear the place apart to try and find the A520 video adapter). So once I finally got it I wanted to hook it up to my 5400 as I don't have a TV here. I can use either RF or composite but while I can view the uuugly RF input using the Apple Video Player, how can I view the composite input?

Both my LCD screens accept PAL on S-Video or RCA.

Figured it out. Silly me, I had to call up the Controls Window in Apple Video Player. Then I could set the input source :I

Looks pretty awful though. At least a default res Workbench screen. I'll take a better look at it tomorrow.

I was going to suggest that, but then I figured I was stating the obvious, and that you wanted to view both inputs simultaneously. I guess not. :I

Yeah, the quality of the Apple TV/Video system is horrible, even for it's age.

You're basically getting 1/4 of the pixels you need. You'd be better off with an old TV out of a skip, as long as it has a composite in.
