ligawo convertor help please

Post by Guardians Knight »

I just bought a ligawo bnc to vga/hdmi convertor for use with my hanzo dreamcast vga box and I'm having trouble getting to output to hdmi. here is the model i bought.....http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ligawo-Converte ... +Upscaling

it seems like my tv is getting a signal but cant display it. anyone got any experience getting this to work. I am connecting my hanzo to the legwo via a vga cable and then plugging a hdmi cable into the output and then to the tv.

Thanks

From a quick look at the description of the scaler it doesn't look like it can convert the VGA input to HDMI output. Only VGA passthrough and BNC input to VGA and/or HDMI.

I've been going through the description twice now and still don't know which kind of signal that box is supposed to accept....

should work, yes. You want a converter that doesn't do any scaling.

Thanks Fud, I'll give it a go. Wish I'd known scaling was bad, that box i linked in the op cost £55 inc shipping :-(

My wild guess is composite since I had a similar BNC to VGA converter (forgot what name brand). Unfortunately you probably better off with the other one you linked.

What happens ? I have maybe ten different VGA to HDMI converters and maybe one's not working with the DC. The DC does output VGA with a little too high voltage levels. This can throw off some converters, but usually not to the degree that it's not working at all.

Great, but hard to find (at a good price).
