EMV to LCD - Part 1



Info:

http://books.google.com.au/books?id=53nnX4fnnNIC&pg=PA220&lpg=PA220&dq=b-y%2C+r-y%2C+g-y+chroma&source=bl&ots=1udP3jnpaL&sig=rntO3MGxEeoK2435_mruSWo6zhs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=qFxzU_LKLIyPlQWxt4DwCw&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=b-y%2C%20r-y%2C%20g-y%20chroma&f=false

There seems to be 2 circuit paths:
One that takes R-Y, B-Y, G-Y and Y and then matrices the Y into the R-Y, B-Y, G-Y. This is done apparently so that the amount of Y added can be adjusted per colour. The output of this circuit goes into the R, G, B pins on the electrode gun. There are two more pins for earth and a heater?
The other takes the Sync and Power. There appear to be 3 syncs. SY, DH, DV. These are used to control the CRT deflectors.

So...
Feeding RGB + Ground from the CRT circuit and SY from the Input into the RGBS input of the converter produced no result. But I could have ruined up the CRT circuit when I was removing it.

EMV to LCD - Part 3 (More Hardware)

Seems like the csync emitted by the EMV computer is either too noisey or not amplified enough for the upscaler board to get a lock on the signal.

To rectify this I have ordered:

- LM1881 eg. http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/composite-sync-stripper-lm1881/

- EL4853 eg. http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=43992

- JROK Sync Cleaner

 

Also here is a test fit of the LCD I am using on the CRT mounting bracket.
