There's a cable that you can build as well, saves cutting into your hd pack if you don't want to, Here's the link, I have one about 30ft lond made with cat5e, you could just lob off the end of a vga cable and solder the rca's there if you'd prefer the higher quality cabling.

Hope I'm not stepping on your toes gerzand, great topic for sure.
Cheers!
Rob

Not stepping on your toes either Rob37alb, but the problem with that cable ( i saw the link in one of your post b4 and made one) is that you have no 5V connection for the LM1881 chip. That cat5 cable is meant for projectors and monitors which can support Sync On Green. Which is like 2% of the population.

Thanx. Gerzand

My bad, I didn't realize that there was an issue with the green. I run through a pj and never had that issue, sorry. Yours is for running through a monitor I assume? I thought any VGA fed device worked on the same signal types, my mistake.

Cheers!

yeah, mine is running thru a monitor. the signal types are different in component VGA vs VGA because most VGA monitors require a Horizonal Sync and Vertical Sync. H & V are made by the LM1881N chip which is available to buy here: PartsAndKits.com. Gerzand

Well yeah you could, but then you'd lose those analog audio capabilities. You'd then be using a RGBVH to VGA cable that attaches to the HD pack instead of VGA being integrated.

Nice one Gerzand.

Am going to check it out and build yours aswell to help diagnose my issue.

Good tutorial. But instead of individually having to wire each blue, red, and green wire, and their respected grounds to the appropriate pins of a 15pin vga plug (this is a pain in the ass, i have tried), just connect a vga to BNC cable up to the RCA video jacks via 3 bnc to rca adapters. You can find these at radio shack, and are only $5 a piece. The cable is about $15. Then just wire up the sync seperator as you have described in the hd pack. That's what i am using, and it works perfectly.

gerzand · « **Reply #13 on:** November 14, 2003, 06:40:00 PM »

your statement us somewhat true For-hammer. Pls dont take my matter-of-factness the wrong way.

Only probem is that you would have to sacrifice the L & R analog audio so you could use it for a 5 BNC to VGA cable. You CANNOT connect a 3 BNC to VGA cable with RCA couplers and expect to have H & V signals with a Sync Splitter mounted inside the HD Pack because there are 5 seperate signals (R G B H V). The only way would be to wire it INSIDE THE VGA to BNC cable . Gerzand.

Hmm interesting enough, here is what i have.

HD pack modded with a switch to toggle either pin 9 or pin 11 (vga or retail)

3 rca to bnc

using the original HD pack wires RGB to connect both and using the L R to my amp system for sound (obviously)

I dont have the Sync Splitter mounted inside the HD pack and i dont have nothing connected to the H & V behind the monitor.

Everything works very well (some games and apps are green but loading them from within XBMP or last version of XBMC works fine)

So with Xselect i just have XBMC as default dash so when i boot of my vga bios XBMC will be in true vga then i load whatever game i want (with some exeptions, splinter cell among others) and most of them come out with true vga
