TXG/MNX Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hello, I just got my hands on an Atari ATW800 anyone knows how to convert the video output to normal vga or knows where i can by such convertor. Video is RGB (3x bnc) with syn-on-green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well you will need at least a sync splitter and likely a scan doubler as well. Might be better to look for a used CRT Sony PVM monitor. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch According to wikipedia, the transputer video output ranges from 512*480 to 1280*960. So I think it outputs 31KHz signal so you don't need a scan doubler. At work I have a 19" monitor with BNC connectors for RGB and H-SYNC and V-SYNC. Don't think it will work with sync on green. At DealExtreme they have VGA to BNC cables. I suppose they are meant for VGA on PC and BNC on monitor but I think they should work the other way around to. About sync, I suppose you can try to connect green to V-Sync/H-sync connection too using a T-connector. I don't think modern monitors work without a signal on the sync inputs.

Mark_G Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 You have 2 farmcards. Some photos of mine. The atari monitor shows a booted helios 1.3, with command 'network monitor' running. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
