RGB Cable Help

[Tempest_2084]

I think I mentioned this before, but I have a RGB modded TurboDuo. However the guy who did it used a D-Sub (VGA) style connector for the RGB out (it also has sound wired up). I had another guy make me a SCART cable for it, but it doesn't seem to be working. This is the pinout he used (it should be Euro SCART):

The 9 pin (D-Sub) connector is


1 red
2 red ground
3 green
4 green ground
5 blue
6 blue ground
7 composite sync
8 left audio
9 right audio

(shell) audio ground (really all the grounds are tied together inside the machine)


This is the SCART connector:




Anyone know what could be wrong? The wires all look good, so I don't think it's a physical problem. Something must be wired up a little wrong.

What display are you using ? CRT ? Professional or Consumer TV ? XRGB ? Is the DSub pinout confirmed to be like this ?

If you're using a consumer TV you need a blanking voltage on Pin 16 to make the TV switch into RGB mode. Other common errors include sync on pin 19 instead on pin 20 (wrong direction).

Sorry I should have said. It's a Sony PVM 1943-MD. I have this cable going into a Sync Strike and the Sync Strike is connected to the PVM through a RGB cable.

I found a different pin out than the one he used. Maybe this is the correct one?

It's a few posts down.

As I said a few weeks ago, there's no way to know. Either ask him or open up the system and just check where the lines are soldered to.

Ill do that and get back to you.

Would you need that blanking voltage on pin 16 for a Sony PVM?

You shouldn't need to, but if you're using a multiformat PVM (i.e. the 20L5) you might want to look carefully at your settings to make sure it's selecting RGB and not component. Not sure if other PVMs have this RGB/component (YPbPr) switch ability, which unfortunately is in a menu in the 20L5.

Not sure if the 1943md has that or not.
