Title: RGB E VS HS
Post by: Gamer Smurf on January 24, 2011, 11:42:57 pm

I purchased a arcade monitor amplifier and want to connect it the the RGB on my Kortek monitor.  The monitor has this configuration:


The RGB wiring input into the Arcade Monitor board is wired as follows:

B                      G                           R                                E                         VS                           HS
R                      G                           B                                E                         VS                           HS

Red/Black     Brown/Black     Light Blue (Purplish)/Black       White/Black       BLANK (Nothing in it)            White


My VGA amplifier has the following:

Red    Gnd    Blue    Sync   Gnd     (Blank)

Heres a PIC of the Monitor Board and the Green plugin on the bottom left of the picture is the one that has the wires plugged into it.  Written on the green ont he side you cant see is the RGB E VS HS.

Thanks!

well RGB should be pretty self explanitory Red Green Blue... just match up the color to color

E is your Ground (called Earth on the monitor board)

since your monitor isn't using VS (Vertical Sync) it's only using HS (Horizontal sync) hook that up your sync line on the VGA amp. Depending on the signal you are giving it, you may have to play around with HS/VS to get a pic displayed..

Do You Mean "Red   Green   Blue   Sync   Gnd   (Blank)"

Some screens also accept composite sync on the horizontal sync pin.

As far as I know, if there is no V sync input the monitor *needs* composite sync. Otherwise the vertical will be in free run and you'll never get a stable pix. We would always just tie the H and V lines together to get c-sync, but I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it.
