|
|
Hi i'm new here, been fixing up a D50q and have been trying to stick to the manual but need some help for a big event coming up.
I found this breakout cable for VGA to component- http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-40338-SonicWave-Component/dp/B000O7GTKO
Would this work with the d50? I am running from a macbook pro with nvidia.
I need to find something that works with vga as i'm doing live visual installations and unfortunately, being a poor artist, the moome is out of my price range. (this could perhaps be an alternative? )
I also want to try and see if the tube on the blue would get lighter after switching the HV cables. Before I switch them i just want to make sure that they are the 3 inputs clearly seen and removable on the top.
Would switching the blue and green cable be alright? I don't want to blow the tube out.......there's only 2350 hours on all the bulbs, and the blue isn't detrimentally bad...probably half the brightness of the r+g......none of them have burn in. there is only a very very feint shadow on them
thanks so much, really great that this forum exists....
i already want a crt pj tattooed to my forehead

Not sure why they are calling that a component cable. That is an RGBHV cable. Which is just what you need to get from VGA to RGBHV in on the projector. Just make sure you set the projector's input to RGB not YPbPr or HDTV.
The blue is the dimmest of the 3 tubes. Yes you can switch the blue and green and red cables around for funky colors. The H+V leads will only work one way.
By the way, please don't call the tubes bulbs. It's a pet peeve of ours here.
Skip the tattoo, go for a set of cool glasses instead.

was merely joking about the triclops (pentaclops¿) tat....
calling the tube a bulb slipped by mind,.even though i said it just once, you jerk....  just kidding
, thanks for the help!
are most of them brighter in the green? I'm thinking about putting a very light filter over it......it looks great with s-video already....excited to see 720

Green is the brightest, then red then blue.
