PSP Dev tool on PVM

[m54b25]

Hello guys!

Here is my first post, so I want to say Hello all!

I've got a PVM-20M2MDE and all my setup based on Bandridge 5 way automatic SCART switch. It works flawlessly with my retro consoles. I'm using BNC<=>SCART cables with sync stripper and second without sync stripper.
Some time ago I bought PSP Dev Tool DTP-H1500 which has an Dsub video output. I've tried to run it on PVM using Extron RGB 109xi interface, but no effect:


Hot the PSP dev tool looks:



How to run it on my PVM?

Your dev box (very nice by the way) does output in 480p60 (31khz), so you need to use a VGA monitor (or just any LCD you can find). Your PVM is 15khz-only.

[m54b25]

So there is no possibility to play that PSP on PVM? Any other Extron etc.?

You could grab an Extron VSC series scan converter to get a 15khz 480i signal.

From there, you can tweak the flicker filter or use your RGB interface to get 240p.

You may lose some detail, but it can be done.

I think that the game is not worth the candle. PSP isn't working all the time, so I can plug it to my TV.
Thanks guys!

I changed my setup and now I have a SONY BVM20G14, SONY BVM-14G5E, PVM-20M2MDE and still trying to connect PSP Tool and maybe PS3 Debugging station and PS3 Reference Tool.
I found information (I don't remember where) that I should connect H and V using t-connector to H/HV BNC in for example Extron RGB 580xi . Is it correct information?

None of these monitors supports the neccessary resolution.

You need a PVM or BVM with "Multiformat" written on the top-right of the bezel. Otherwise you're better off using a VGA PC monitor.

I agree, very nice, great find.

Does anyone know if it is fullscreen or just the same windowed box like psp 3000/go?

I have been thinking of picking up one of these for a few months to use with my XRGB-3 since it outputs native RGB through VGA, unlike the PSPGo which only supports YPbPr Component output, any idea if it will improve the picture quality? Also do these work with retail PSP UMD games?

[Fudoh]

just based on RGBHV vs. YPbPr ? No difference.

Oh but is there differences based on other things?

I don't know the machine, so I guess we have to wait for m54b25 to get it up and running.

I see, well thank you for the RGBHV/YPbPr confirmation.

Yes, it is windowed box.

I don't know what it is - RGBHV or YPbPr.

Some new CRT monitor arrived, but first need to test it (multiformat on board).

Now I wan't to run Control Panel BKM-10R on SONY BVM20G14 and SONY BVM-14G5E.
I made RS-232 straight cable and it is not working. I found in instruction manual that should be connected via Sony RCC-5G cable.
Anyone has it pinout or diagram? Which pins should be connected? Is it RS485 cable?

[Fudoh]

I think offcially it's a RS422 cable, but I bought mine as a straight RS232 cable it works fine.

Straight with connected pins
2---2
3---3
5---5

From the research I've done, I thought an Extron RGB Interface could take a 31kHz RGBHV image and output it at 15 kHz RGBs.

[Fudoh]

sometimes research can fail....

[m54b25]

Hello again,
it almost works.
I have a new monitor instead of my PVM. It is JVC TM-H1950CG with my DIY RGB card:



It works OK with PS3, but with PSP Tool I have double image on screen:


I don't know how to enter a service menu to tweak some parameters.

Do you know what it could be? Sync problem?

[Fudoh]

same problem as before. Your JVC is made for 15khz signals only (240p, 480i, 576i) while you try to feed it a 31khz 480p signal.

[m54b25]

Uhhh, Ok, I've got it.

I'll keep searching

[Fudoh]

The dev tool does output 31khz in RGBHV format, right ?

You can either use literally ANY PC monitor you can find, either LCD or CRT. Or - if you like to use either the PVM or the JVC - you can get a scan converter (search for Extron VSC on ebay). These take in RGBHV and output RGBs or component 15khz instead. They also allow you to zoom in on the PSP image, while a direct VGA connection to an LCD or CRT would give you rather huge underscan bars.
