HP-41 Video Interface Applications
Message #1 Posted by Jürgen (CH) on 7 Mar 2003, 8:10 a.m.

What is/was the HP-41 video interface good for? One application I can imagine is displaying measuring results in lab environments. Any other suggestions? Does anyone out there have programs especially designed for the video interface?

Thanks, Jürgen

Christoph,

I've used my old C64 monitor to test my video interface; but the LCD display seems to be an interesting alternative. Is it hard to find such displays, or are the available at electronic stores?

Regards from the Lake Constance, Jürgen

LCD-Display for HP41 & IL-Video Interface

Some small size LCD-displays exist for automotive applications like navigation and (rear seat) entertainment. Two different input norms exist : RGB and FBAS. Last is directly compatible with the IL-Video interface. For RGB-displays you need an additional RGD to FBAS converter box.
