Hi,
Is it safe to connect another display device like crt tv by scart when mk3
Is already mounted? Or it is better to
Remove mk3 from the chip first?
Connecting SCART device when MK3 is mounted?

YOu can continue to use the DB23 output, provided you don't connect a Genlock interface. A simple Scart cable should be fine.

Interesting answer. The chance that I will use my genlock in the future is very small, but can you tell me why? Because of the external clock signal?

There are two ways that a Genlock influences the Amiga timing:
1) it provides the H/V sync signals
2) it provides the overall system clock
H/V sync is not a problem, Indivision AGA MK3 will just adapt. However, replacing the main system clock with a PLL-generated clock from the Genlock will most likely fail, as Indivision AGA MK3 also uses a PLL to generate most of it's clocks. Cascading PLLs in this way is not a good idea - if you Genlock to a broadcast-quality signal, it will most likely work, but if the source is a VCR, you can probably count the seconds until you see artefacts on screen - if the monitor will sync at all

Thank you for the explanation.

The last reply was more than 365 days ago, this thread is most likely obsolete. It is recommended to create a new thread instead.
