  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hey, I'm new to the forums, even though i've browsed around for a while, and I have a question about the output of this TV I just got. Correct me on if I mess up on anything.

I'm familiar with setting up certain "pro" monitors to use with older systems and output a higher quality by using RGB (connecting the scart of a console to a breakout board that takes the scart signal and transfers it to RGB (also most of these modules do VGA), which can go into these types of monitors. 

The monitor I just got only has R-Y and B-Y Bnc's though, and I'm not quite sure what that means.  I also cannot find a manual of my model  (Ikegami TM14-2RH).  I did plug in my Saturn using a BNC to RCA on the bottom two input slots, and I get a picture (that happens to differ when I switch from HI - 75 ohm). 

My questions are...
How does this whole R-Y and B-Y thing work in regards to gaming? 
What would I need to do to get a proper RGB signal, or anything really (other than straight component)?
Does that 60 label on the back possibly mean that it outputs a different voltage than the other input? 
What difference does the HI - 75 ohm switch do? 
Can I still take a sort of breakout box so I can hook up my computer to it through VGA? 

Eventually my goal is to be able to output RGB signals and also acquire a way to attach my computer to it and use MAME.  If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated, and thanks for the info I've gotton so far on the forums.

Y, R-Y, and B-Y are also known as Y Pb and Pr which you may know colloquially as simply "Component video".

The 75 ohm switch is for input termination.  In general, it should be in the 75ohm setting for normal A/V and PC video sources.  For arcade sources, it'll vary depending on the nature of the PCB's output, but 75ohms is also probably the right setting.  On the sync input, do whichever makes it sync right.  Not knowing what kind of sync levels this thing expects, I can't really predict what is "right".

Ok, thanks for the help.  Also, I posted the question up at shmups.system11.org, too,

(http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44062)

...and I was given a response on actually implementing the RGB aspect (where Fudoh said that I merely have to switch to EXT and use the B-Y R-Y and two color inputs) and I'm not quite sure what he means.  As of this post I haven't recieved an answer but, I probably will soon; I was just wondering if you know what he meant.

Also, knowing that it's component, do you recommend a different way of connecting my computer to play MAME, other than purchasing a breakout box?
