Transcoder

[steved61]

What transcoder is recommended now that the TC1600 is not available ?

[steved61]

So nobody is using a Transcoder ? I want to go for VGA to Component.
Thanks for any help.

Kramer FC-14 is probably the best, but it's pretty rare these days. I've also heard good things about the Audio Authority 9a60.

Thank you.

All the transcoder info you hope for is in a thread just a little further down the page...

[steved61]

Would this work?

VGA to Scart cable to Transcoder to component TV?

Several people use that method, and even that exact encoder (myself included).  You can find a lot of information about that particular set-up in the following thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,121491.0.html

If you go that route, let us know how it works out!

I ordered the Audio Authority 9a60. Will update when I get it.

Audio Authority 9a60 hooked up to a Sony KV-27FS120,all a get is a garbled screen ?
Any Ideas ? I though this was supposed to be plug and play. Am I doing anything wrong ?

It's definitely not as easy as plug and play. You do have a video card that's capable of outputting 15khz resolutions, right?

I'm using
Manufacturer   NVIDIA
Chipset   GeForce 9300
GPU   NVIDIA GeForce 9300
I also have a PowerColor
ATI HD 5450
On hand.

What are you using for 15Khz resolutions? Soft 15-Khz?

[steved61]

I'm trying too. But I think I'm in over my head. i'll keep playing with it over the weekend.
I'ved tried 2 VGA cables, 2 Component cables and the 2 Sony's TVs. Just to rule out any hardware problems
If I can't get this setup to work, I'll just get an LCD.
I'll return the transcoder and sell the 2 Sony's I have.
Thanks for all the help and encouragement

If I get the ArcadeVGA card and use the transcoder to hook it up to the Sony' Then will everything work ?
Is the ArcadeVGA card powerful enough to run Carnevil ?
How about some of the newer emulators ?

[steved61]

Anyone ?
If this is a workable solution I'll like to order the ArcadeVGA tonight.
Thanks

Have you set your video to the appropriate resolution?  If not, try setting it to 640x480 and see if that helps.  The ArcadeVGA should also work. 

[steved61]

Thanks I'll give it a try.
