I need to capture an RGB signel (from a VGA source if your wondering) but dont want to spend a great deal of money and as most of you know any devise that displays a non digital video signel must first convert it to RGB for it to work

so here is what I need the RGB pinout of an paticular inexpencive one

or an inexpencive one that already can take a RGB input or a VGA input (or outher forums of RGB would be fine also I dont much care bout the connector it uses or what outher unnessasery pins it might have)

I would also like general information on how to find the RGB pinout on the circuit board's of such devises


thanks, Peppers

oww and btw Hello my fake name is Peppers nice to semi meet you

I think you mean "analog" as opposed to RGB. Just to clairfy.

Okay, let me ask you two questions in response, which will help me to help you:
1. You say you're capturing the RGB signal from a VGA source ... what type of connector / output is coming from that RGB signal? Is it a VGA connection (I'll assume it is.)
2. What is the connector type of your 'capture' device? Are you capturing via component connectors? s-video? ViVo?
3. Heck, how are you capturing it? Is it a VCR? A DVR? A computer?

There are a couple of devices in existence that might already help, but I'm not sure if they fit your bill:
Video to Component Transcoder
Component Video to VGA

But both of those are in the $180 range.

Finding docs on-line for RGB pin-outs has been challenging. I'm sure you tried that already. Here's a couple links, however, that might help:

InLine, Inc's Tech Notes

Finally, TechNik.Net has the following pin-out guide for 15pin VGA connectors:
Pin Out - VGA

And you can access the rest of their (very useful, I might add) pin-out diagrams for a WIDE VARIETY of connectors:

Pin Out Connectors

Good luck!
