All the transcoder info you hope for is in a thread just a little further down the page (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,121491.0.html)...

VGA to Scart cable to Transcoder to component TV?

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 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,121491.0.html)

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

Any Ideas ? I though this was supposed to be plug and play. Am I doing anything wrong ?

Post by: dmckean on August 14, 2015, 03:17:55 pm: It's definitely not as easy as plug and play. You do have a video card that's capable of outputting 15khz resolutions, right?

Post by: dmckean on August 14, 2015, 05:34:39 pm: What are you using for 15Khz resolutions? Soft 15-Khz?
Title: Re: Transcoder
Post by: steved61 on August 14, 2015, 06:14:20 pm: 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

Post by: steved61 on August 15, 2015, 01:45:40 pm: 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 ?

Thanks

Post by: Dawgz Rule on August 16, 2015, 09:40:51 am: 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.
