So The Plan: buy an Xbox SCART cable to get RGB out of my Xbox, and find an old computer monitor with RGB in and use that.
The Problem: I'm to cheap to buy a SCART to RGB Plus Sync Converter (it's just an adapter that takes the signal and ground from the appropriate SCART pins and makes them into RCA jacks: 1 Red (Center = Red Signal, Shield = Red Ground), 1 Blue (Center = Blue Signal, Shield = Blue Ground), 1 Green (Center = Green Signal, Shield = Green Ground), and 1 Sync (Center = Composite Signal, Shield = Composite Ground).
The Solution: Just chop the SCART connector off the end of the Xbox SCART cable and attach individual RCA jacks to the wires.
The Other Problem: I have no idea what the color coding on the wires in the Xbox SCART cable will mean!
So has any one ever taken one apart or do I need to get out my multimeter and figure it out myself. Yes I used the search function.
PS: If this plan won't work in the first place, please tell me and explain why if possible. And yes I know I may have to split the Sync signal for some monitors, I already found a circuit for that, hopefully there will be no need to build it, but I'll just have to see how the monitor shopping goes.
Thanks in advance.
) you really only notice it in still images and some video games but it gets annoying, and supposedly RGB is the next best thing to HDTV and older, fairly high resolution RGB monitors can be had for way less than an HDTV.
