X1 video connections

[matt]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had tried this video connection set up to their
X1.

Fox box - Scart to RGB + (L+R)

with

(L+R) to Amp
and
RGB to RGB to VESA adaptor

and then

VESA adaptor to VGA cable to VGA input on the X1

???

Was just wondering if this worked before I invest in a few cables.

Cheers

matt

You need to think about your H and V sync.

Thought about it, but the main problem would appear to be the output of the
set top box. The VGA input will only take a 480p, 720p or 1080i signal, and
the Fox Box outputs 576i. I'm assuming this is the equivalent of 480i for
NTSC.

I may have to go through a component cable to the 7 pin S video connection
instead and invest in a progressive scan DVD player so I can use the VGA
input.

Don t you sometimes think that maybe you are chasing falling stars. A lot of
dicking around for a pissy amount of image improvement. At the end of the
day if someone comments on how great the picture then what does that say
about how shithouse the movie is. .

Oh you really are a little ray of sunshine aren't you.

Why don't you just do what your mommy used to tell you. "If you have nothing
interesting to say then say nothing at all"

Mommy used to say "your a good boy miro, but don't play near the other
children!"

I heard his parents used to hid his Easter eggs among the yellow bricks on
busy freeways!
