Philips are a good, solid brand. You can't go too wrong there.

Thanks for this Amra. I finally got around to trying this out last night using a piece of Veroboard to build the circuit. The old circuit I had been using successfully for VGA to SCART cables wouldn't work properly with my direct to Jungle IC hacks but this one does! Woohoo! ;D This means I can eliminate the UMSA and Extrons from my chain and make standalone RGB input hacks for my TVs instead.

Guys can you help me out? Using the CVS287 I followed the schematic posted below. I am using an ATI4350 video card with CRT EMUdriver connected to a 27" SONY CRT. The second monitor shows up fine in Windows 7. Below is the image I am getting. It's hard to make out but that is the Windows 7 background extended onto the SONY CRT. Where should I even start diagnosing. I checked my wiring and everything seems to be correct. Any advice on where to start?

you may have to tie ground to pin 17/18 of the scart socket as well.

I think I just figured out what I missed. I did not ground pins 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 on the dsub. I will try that and see how it goes.
