component bnc to vga compatibility

Post by vol.2 »

hi all, i have a projector that takes component inputs through a vga jack. the instructions say to use a component to vga pass-thru cable. can i just buy a VGA to 5 BNC cable and leave off the HV cables? i wanna do this because i would like to use the cable for rgb stuff as well.

Yes. The HD15 to 5 BNC will work fine.
We apologise for the inconvenience

I would guess that it would sync to 15kHz rgbhv, whether or not it will accept csync on the hsync pin is a crapshoot

you're just going to have to try it man, I'd bet you can find a working combo
