General Gaming / RE:Hooking up to a monitor
« on: September 21, 2003, 07:25:18 PM »
Hey everyone,
The GC-component-to-VGA-cable sounds awesome. I'm looking for a more flexible solution, though, and wondered if there's any reason I couldn't do it in two steps:
1. standard GC component video cable
2. component video to VGA cable (something like https://www.dcpuraty.com/store/Product_Details.asp?ProductCode=HD15M5R6, although I'd rather build my own if someone can fill me in on the internal connections)
The reason I'd like to do this is because I have a progressive-scan DVD player with component outputs, and I want to connect that to the monitor, too. Do you think it will work? I understand from TYP's post that this requires extra signals for the GC--what are they? Would it require anything else for the DVD?
It sounds like there are some experts here. Please weigh in!
Thanks,
Matt
