240p from 360 on PVM-2950Q

[cstle]

Is it possible without an (relatively expensive) downscaler? Or are there cheap downscalers? Or is 480i adequate or what. I'm clueless.

note - I don't have one right now but there's someone in my area selling etc and I want to make sure I'm not going to waste its capabilities if I get one

You can do this by using an Extron RGB interface with sync processing. They're $20 on eBay. Here's the thread on it: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 6&start=60

Would a regular Extron Super Emotia work? I see some decently priced on eBay

[Fudoh]

Sure. Emotia does a 480p to 240p conversion (VGA to RGBs), while the Extron interfaces do 480i RGBs to 240p RGBs.

I think I'll go with the Emotia since I'll be able to do MAME through it as well (I have a spare VGA port)

Thanks

Are there any specific RGB cables I should use for the Emotia->PVM or just grab any off of Monoprice?

[Fudoh]

your 2950Q has direct RGBS BNC inputs (4x BNC), right ? If so, just use the cheapest BNC to BNC cables you can find.

I just noticed that these Emotias on ebay don't have the power cable and such.

Where do I get one

I'm working on writing instructions on how to build a power supply. 35 dollars for a 3rd party replacement is retarded.

Can you show me where you found it? I'm not good at building stuff.

what i did was search eBay for "5-pin DIN power supply," just make to find one with specifications as close to the official extron PSU as possible.
