Title: How Do I Use A Vga Cable In 480p Mode?
Post by: jungec on January 14, 2004, 11:46:00 AM
you need a vga cable that supports hd signalling such as the x2vga. the one you built is a line doubler and doesn't. it needs the cable id of the hd expansion pack not the id of 2 which is most likely what your cable has.

Short pins 11 and 12, 13 and 14 this will give you NTSC HDTV, you will then get access to enable the 480,720p and 1080i settings. Once you have done that go back to 9 and 10, 13 and 14 (VGA).

Thanks for the info. If i short 11-12 and 13-14 will i be able to get any sort of picture through the VGA connection or RGB scart?
jungec: The cable I have built is true VGA and is not a line doubler. Line doublers use composite video as a source, if you look at the VGA cable tutorials around you will see that they use an RGB source with a custom bios to enable VGA 31kHz with seperate H/Vsync produced by the LM1881 sync seperator.
