Connect to a Sony CRT TV

Unread post by ruicunha »

I bought a MiSTer with the io board and a vga to RGB cable.

What do I have to configure in order to get the TV to work with the MiSTer?

Thanks.

I selected ypbpr.1
vga scaler off
composite vsync on
sog on

Image is green, even with the cable that has this settings : VGA pin 13 connects to SCART pin 20 (with attenuation of 470 ohm)
VGA pin 14 connects to SCART pin 16 directly (1,6v or less, no attenuation required)
Our cable does not use VGA PIN 9.

Ps: turning ypbpt to 1 fixed the green colour, now i only have to figure out how to move image a little to the right.

Thanks.

Typically If you want to use scart RGB (not component)

ypbpr = 0
SoG switch *off*
csync = 1

If you want to use component then

ypbpr = 1
Sog switch *on/OVR*
csync = 0

As for positioning you should try to adjust your TV through its service menu.
