Fairlight-CMI

Has anyone made, or know of an adaptor that would take the 
fairlights video output and display it on a SVGA monitor? I have a 
series IIX and would love to replace the large bulky monochrome 
monitor with a LCD flat panel to save space. I know you would lose 
the light pen functionality but it would be worth it in the end. I 
was wondering if this has been done by anyone on this list?

Hi Kevin,

The service manual says that the graphics terminal signal is supposed
to be composite video. I'm not up to speed on this, but I guess this
means you should be able to use a standard video to vga adapter for
this, and just bodge a proper connection cable.

I've not tried this myself though ;-)

Cheers,
Patrick

My setup is just to use a cheapo video capture card in my PC and run 
the Fairlight display in a window on my desktop. I found with 
default settings the picture looked awful, but using some software 
called DScaler along with some tweaking it looks as good as a mono 
monitor.

Hope that helps some.
