I am new at the whole arcade monitor scene. I recently acquired an arcade machine (street figher II I believe) that has a pentranic monitor with a CH288 board. It looks like you have the same or very similar monitor configuration.
I bought an arcade VGA card as well as the VGA cable from ultimarc. I'm now at the point of wanting to connect the computer to the arcade monitor.
The VGA cable I have is a VGA breakout cable that has a standard VGA connector on one end for my PC and then is stripped on the other end. The stripped ends are R,G,B,V,H, and Ground. The million dollar question here is where do I connect these 6 wires to my monitor?
I have downloaded a schemetic from the mfg website (see attached). It looks like the connection point is on the circuit board on the 6 pronged plug marked R,G,B,GND,H/S, AND V around the middle of the schematic. I followed those wires from the board and they lead up to the yoke on the monitor.
Assuming this is in fact where I'm supposed to connect my VGA cable, here are a couple of specific questions:
1 - The connector marked H/S - is that just the horizontal sync?
2 - The connector marked V - is that just the vertical sync?
3 - The ultimarc VGA card indicates it outputs 1V - will I need to do anything to boost the power to this monitor?
4 - What's the best method for connecting the VGA cable to the connector on the circuit board of the monitor?
Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated!
