My friend's got this old TV. It's a Mitsubishi CS-2670R from 1988 and it's got this input on it (blurry, but it'll work, I'll bet):
Can I use this in conjunction with my computer to play games at 15 Khz?
What is this and can I use it to play games in low-res
What is this and can I use it to play games in low-res
I'm a noob about this stuff, so please forgive me.

oohh RGB
Supergun tyme.
Kind of pointless to use your computer with it, since you can just use a computer monitor.

Well, I can't get a 15khz monitor anytime soon and I don't even know what this input is Officially Called.robivy64 wrote:oohh RGB

That special 8-pin interface is for inputting a 15kHz RGB source. I've got a 9" Sony CPD-9000 RGB monitor that has the same special 8-pin RGB input interface + the special external 8-pin adapter cable with wires for completeness. It is very hard to acquire this type of speciality 8-pin RGB cable interface (though as most monitors came supplied with that necessary RGB cable when bought brand new back in the day). But if it got lost or discarded over time, it's a real bitch to find one in mint condition nowdays.
Back in the early 1980s, Sony made small RGB monitors for use with their line of microcomputers, character line generators, etc. with that special 8-pin RGB input interface that was labelled "VTR" (or Video Terminal Relay). It still is present on a lot of the bigger high-end professional Sony RGB monitors.
I use the 9" Sony RGb monitor from time to time with my supergun setup...the RGB input coming from a Neo-Geo MVS mobo is super razor sharp + the fact that the monitor is a Sony Trinitron type as well.
I do have the pinout of this special 8-pin RGB input interface if you need to know which pin accepts the following five inputs: Red, Green, Blue, Sync and Ground from a true 15kHz low resolution source. ^_~

Wow, thanks for the info. I'd love to take a look at the pinout... I might wind up fiddling with this a bit.
Re: What is this and can I use it to play games in low-res
PCEFX, do you have that pinout? I'd really appreciate it.
Re: What is this and can I use it to play games in low-res
I think I might have it. We have one of these at work.
PM incoming.
