Hello all,
I have a unique situation in that instead of trying to hook up an SVGA computer to an RGB, monitor, I want to go the other way.
I have a few Jamma PCB games that I would like to create a rig for. I used to hook up these boards to a HUGE and extremely heavy 19" commercial RGB color monitor. The monitor is getting old and flaky and frankly I don't want to move the heavy beast around anymore. So what I would like to do is get a small lightweight video projector or even an LCD flat screen. It seems the most common input for these is either SVGA or S-Video (Yes, I know composite is the most common but also the worst quality and most inconvenient to work with).
A video game PCB has a standard RGB with Sync output (or what is now called component video).
I have noticed that newer TV's do have component video, but I am not 100% sure if this is compatible with the old RGB-Sync standard that is used on arcade PCB's. However, I did notice that almost all the projectors/TV monitors I have seen they have S-video. I understand that S-video is not as good a quality as SVGA or even RGB...but would it be easier to interface with my video game PCB's?
I would like to know what my options are. I do prefer to go RGB-Sync To an SVGA projector/monitor because then I could also hook up a computer to it later on if I want. Thus I would then have a COMPLETE rig.
So the question is what do I need to accomplish the task?
Thank You,
Geo
