ligawo convertor help please
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....

Re: ligawo convertor help please
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

Re: ligawo convertor help please
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.Guardians Knight wrote: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

Re: ligawo convertor help please
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.

it does nothing, as if there is no signal at all, just a black screen on my panasonic and a blue screen on my toshiba

Is it working on a VGA monitor? Or TV?

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