Hello.
I have Averkey Imicro scan converter (pinouts below) and an arcade monitor. The Averkey has a very funky connector labeled "RGB" that is identical to VGA except for the following:
pin 4: RGB=NC, VGA=ground
pin 9: RGB=select PAL, VGA=NC
pin 15: RGB=compos sync, VGA=NC
First, I spliced R, G, B, Csync, and Ground from the Imicro onto the corresponding wires running to the monitor. The result was an almost entirely black image. However, I could see that there was some signal reaching the monitor because the ghostly image moved when I played with the position controls on the converter box.
Next, (being a bumbling electronics idiot) I tried hooking this connector up the RGB connector to my JPAC. The following strange very strange thing happened: The image on the monitor was perfect (normal color, perfectly centered, no double image
