Re: 80 col video interface to PC LCD Monitor Message #4 Posted by Diego Diaz on 16 June 2007, 3:02 p.m., in response to message #3 by PeterP
Hi Peter,
How are you doing?
Must confess I don't recall when did I wrote about sync signals but it doesn't come to the point whatsoever... :-)
So you've got a means to produce video signals (composite) from your HP-80... lucky guy!!
Display options: a) your TV (easiest) and b) your PC (not so easy)
Let us know if your TV has a composite video input (or which inputs does it have). Also which video inputs (if any) does your PC have.
Depending on that you may set your connection up in defferent ways.
More likely your new Mountain 80 col. box is supplying composite video signal according to NTCS standards. This will show up on any U.S. TV set (as well as most modern TV's worldwide, even if they're not NTSC... -say PAL-) provided it has a composite video input (usually an RCA -yellow- connector).
To send that video signal into your PC will require a more complicated (not much though) work around.
Let's know of your progress.
Best wishes.
Diego
