I finished my tutorial on Xbox HD pack to Female VGA! it took forever to draw. I made a new post with a link to the tutorial. Enjoy!

I'd love to have optical, coaxial, and component outputs right on the back of my XBox, but I don't have the time and no where near your skill

Questions:

1) If the first three BNC connectors are RGB, why are they marked as component video ?
2) Are the H/V BNC connectors really necessary ? Why not just synch from composite video ?

The three outputs are component (YPbPr), but with a VGA bios they become RGB w/ sync on green. Most monitors do not support sync on green, so the H and V sync must be stripped and output seperately by using the LM1881N chip.

There are 5 BNCs because they are all needed depending on what you want to achieve. RGB has to have sync, it can be on green but not from an xbox. It can be on composite, which my mod offers, or it can come from 5 wires. In the wire hook up the sync stripper is providing the H and V for projectors and plasmas that have that specific o/p. The BNCs are labelled with both RGB and Y/YPb/YPr. Of course Y/YPb/YPr does not use H and V.

Gerzand, nice one mate for getting it to work. I am figuring that taking a sync feed from Green does not work so I am going to taking from composite and split that before asking you what you did, just to see if I can work it out. Yeah I did use the AVIP pin #1 to get Vcc and then a PCB ground.

Am gunna check out your post too.

entermymatrix03 thanks dude. Looks like a lot of people can have a go at this sort of mod with all the help coming in, which is great.

VGA is progressive RGB on 5 wires. I wanted to be able to take my box is link parties and have all options covered. I may never use them all but they are there. Running a VGA bios will, I believe, gives you RGB with 31KHz on the Green. If your Barco CRT accepts sync on Green which is very likely, I would wager that you would get what you want. However, I am unsure if the Composite O/P is active when running VGA. If it isn't then you would need to split on sync and feed to the Barco if that did NOT do sync on Green.

Line Doubling is an art form and very hard to do well. In my experience anything less than a grand is poor, with one exception; the iScan Pro.

MB is @43C after 2 hours
CPU is @45C after 2 hours

I have adjusted the fan speed in some of the bioses I use to 40% but also use Fan Speed.xas in MXM

did ya ever consider that your Sync Splitter chip is bad, and outputting a bad h and v?

I think I'm still in shock....

Please do me & everyone else a huge favor!!!

Please make a tutorial so the rest of us can follow in your rather large footsteps... this is exactly what I have been looking for!

Thanks,
RAMZY.

It would be cool to have a VGA port on your xbox...
Plz a good turorial would be so COOL!
And I'm always so confused because all other vga cable tutorials u don't know wich pin is 1 or 15 and so on. It would be good to have pictures on the real thing so u are 100% sure it's the right pin...

I made a vga cable without sync splitter and on 1 of my 4 monitors I get flicker does that mean that is got sync on green?

I will order a sync seperator and try that to. But I'm not sure hwo to wire it...

I can buy one Sync splitter here in sweden no need for that.

Thnx and mega thanx if u are able to help me with those other parts.

heres what I did. I went to the electronics store and bought 2 x 300kO and 1 x 80kO resistors and linked them all together. this does the same thing! also, .1uf capacitors are very common!
