15KHZ on a 31KHZ Monitor

<< < (7/16) > >>

Ummon:
Gene, read the monitor wiki. Pretty straight-forward.

Jack Burton:
Tell me if this is crazy, but can he program soft 15khz to let him have some resolutions in 15khz and some outside of it?

This way he can send native resolutions to one monitor and scale to the other as long as his graphics card allows him to clone a display at different resolutions across two monitors. 

Isn't it pretty similar to cloning a pc display to a TV while running your desktop on a pc monitor at whatever res you want and letting the card scale down the cloned image for the tv?

Also, is it possible to use two video cards to send two different resolutions from MAME to two different displays?   

genesim:
Ummon nice advice, but my response was about software with the ArcadeVGA interface, not the monitor.   

The ability of the output of the card itself was never in question from my end.   

genesim:
My line of thinking is this, if you can get the 15khz signal to the ArcadeVGA then the card can scale the resolution.   Unless it doesn't work that way and uses MAME code only, which is most likely the case.

So in effect it is a little decieving because it isn't real 15khz signal but "soft" signal like everyone else is saying.

Then of course you have to go with a box like I used to get a Playstation to a PC monitor.   I myself had ok results but it was a pain in the ass with varied results.

I know that scalling occurs with a progressive signal pretty good, but there you are dealing with alot better signal and alot more pixels.

Genesim, you have to understand that the ArcadeVGA was originally made to output from a PC to an ARCADE monitor.  What Andy is saying is that, now you can use it with a PC monitor instead of and arcade monitor.  The arcade monitor would be what is using the 15khz, not the PC monitor.  Unless I'm mistaken.
