Is there a way to hook a VCR or other AV equipment up to a Wells Gardner D9200 monitor?
-
ANd to be more specific, is there a way to do it that doesn't involve hooking the VCR up to the computer and then running that to the monitor.

You might want to give their tech support a ring and make sure you can set it up for
640x480.

I have an ATI TV wonder PCI. It is a stand-alone card and not the all in wonder.
It has a video input and I have plugged in devices such as Playstation and a DVD player. On my PC I can have it in a window or full screen. This would be the easiest way to do it, through your PC with a tv tuner of some sort.
A straight through hook-up? I'm not sure about that one.

Why don't you want to do it that way? Won't the d9200 normally be hooked up to a pc anyway?

I'd imagine it's because he would like to be able to watch tv with having to run the
computer.
(It's also a easy way of hooking up a xbox, ps2, etc to the 9200)

EXACTLY.

The problem with using a PCI or USB tuner is there is a delay in the display. We were seeing a 2-3 field delay when comparing a PC tv tuner with a TV connected to the same source. This is unacceptable for gaming.

See if you can find a converter that converts NTFS to PAL. I'm pretty sure PAL will display on the monitor through SCART.

I have played PS1 through my tv tuner and it ran great. For some reason cable TV feeds have a split second delay, and I'm not sure why. The quality is still good IE no stuttering but it is a split second behind a regular TV.

that sort of gives you an idea of a converter.. it is more expensive than a simple gender changer...
