SC1425 cable

[+Philsan]

I've received an Atari SC1425 monitor but I found that this 13 Pin DIN Male Plug - 13 Pin DIN Male Plug cable I bought from Coolnovelties doesn't work:https://coolnovelties.co.uk/coolnovelties/atari-st-video-cables/47-atari-st-to-atari-sc1224-monitor-cable-0705693506630.html

 

Monitor port is:

 

 

Where do I find the suitable cable? Thanks

Is it an Atari SC1435 you are talking about that has a DE-9 port on the back?  Look for something like this; https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-ST-to-Philips-8833-mkII-Monitor-RGB-lead-cable-with-twin-RCA-phono-audio-/113441657888

Not sure a VIC20 is going to help much here.

 

The SC1435 looks to have a 8-pin DIN female socket.   I am guessing it is a rebranded Philips/Magnavox unit.   They used those 8-pin DIN plugs on some monitors, although mostly they seemed to use the "standard" CGA/RGB 9-pin DSUB style.

 

Anyway assuming you do infact have the 8-pin DIN.  You will either need to see if the SCART connector carries RGB and if it does maybe use that, or call up one of the cable vendors and ask them to make you one.  You need an Atari ST (13-pin DIN) to Philips/Magnavox 8-pin DIN RGB cable.  

 

Basically this:

But instead of CGA as the source, you want an Atari ST video connector instead.

Haha, oops, I fixed the link (I should not link when I am sleepy)

It's an Atari SC1425, it has the port I mentioned and a Scart port, it doesn't have the DE-9 port like 1435.

[+Philsan]

Thanks guys.

I think I have to ask to make a custom cable, it must carry audio signal too.

Now I use scart port but I would like to free it for other RGB machines.

 

I don't understand why Atari changed the port only for this monitor.

Oh!  I did not know those existed!

Can we see pictures of the SC1425? I don't think I've ever seen one before.

 

Thanks.

 I had pulled up the manual and saw this was a 220V unit with euroconnector. Didnt know what that was until I found a reference to scart. cool novelties has this cable see if they will swap out the one you got

So sad that the USA never adopted SCART.  It is such a superior connector over composite and S-Video.

[+Philsan]

Unfortunately, if I am not wrong, this SCART is RGB only. I cannot connect composite or s-video.

 

Perhaps composite is there if I cut the case?

 

 

@351coug now I am using a cable like the one you mentioned but I would like to use TTL port free SCART port for other RGB machines.

Are you certain the 8 pin DIN socket is analog RGB and not digital RGB?   The ST RGB output is analog, whereas a CGA display is digital.

I now see the image and TTL RGB is digital.   This will not work for an ST output.

Ah...interesting. I'm assuming this version was produced in very low numbers?

 

I don't even remember an option to buy one here where I am in the US, back

when Atari was still around.

 

Thanks.

Philsan, I would love to have a few pictures to add to the Atari monitor page. http://www.atari7800.org/monitor.htm

I will take photos eventually.

 

Meanwhile, you could add manual (crediting Atari Document Archive) and specs: https://docs.dev-docs.org/htm/search.php?find=_M

Have you taken any yet? I'd love to see them too.
