Hey, I know this video has been up for four years, but I'm trying to figure out how to convert an amber monitor of my own to SVGA or possibly just an rca jack, and I am curious about some details. When you say it was turning the analog signal into a digital picture, were you referring to CGA? CGA is entirely digital, which actually makes it much more compatible, but then when you added grayscale, was that RGB from the CGA or the VGA? I couldn't understand how CGA would manage to produce a grayscale image when it is digital. What I also was wondering if you knew was what the voltage is to flip the intensity or video pin from a 0 to a 1, and how that behaves with an analog signal.
I watched this series when it first came out on tv back in the 90s. What a nostalgic trip. Some pretty solid predictions here which we couldn't have known at the time if they would come true or not. I have only found to this point the US scripted voice over Your upload is the one I recall with this narrator.
With such poor resolution, I don’t think it would sell great in countries that use subtitling, like most smaller countries in Europe such as the Netherlands or Belgium. If it even exists in PAL version.
Oh this set is definitely not shining for its resolution, but its value is more about its scarcity and unique Indextron tube. It sure has poor TVL and contrast, I have many small (and smaller sets) with better contrast and resolution, but this is more of a discussion piece and shelf piece artifact for the CRT enthusiasts.
Wow loved you going through the repair on this beautiful piece of equipment. I know modern stuff is supposed to be faster and cheaper to run. But these pieces are works of art on the inside.
I love how tactile old electronics are. You just don’t get the same feeling scrolling up or down on a screen.. I’ve been fortunate to be left by my father a very old record player. I looking forward to replacing the needle and listening to some vinyl. Bty Thub sent me.
Ultimate 90's PC? P2 450 is just enough for a single Voodoo 2, you will have a major bottle neck with this setup. You need a dual CPU Pentium Pro setup or break the 2000's barrier with an Athlon 1400 or Pentium 4 Extreme. If we are talking "Ultimate," case should be a Silverstone or something of an equivalant luxurious nature. You just can't call this build "Ultimate," basically "Look what I can do Mom" click bait...
Nice, well welcome on youtube, but I couldn’t see what content you are creating… this is the very reason I stopped uploading, just keyboard warriors who don’t have anything better to do
@@AnalogThinker Keyboard Warrior? This is my personal account. I have a "business" RU-vid account that is linked to my LLC (limited Liability Company. It has it's own banking account linked to the Adsense it generates from RU-vid. I have to pay franchise taxes on the LLC and I have to file business taxes (which I do myself.) If you get to a point in your life where you start taking content creation seriously I would suggest you become more of a "Digital Thinker" and also form an LLC separate from your personal RU-vid account for liability and other reasons. The tax write offs alone make it worth it. I think you thought I was attacking you- I wasn't so have a little confidence. I was trying to help. Your hardware is setup for one VooDoo 2. I am an old man, I lived with the hardware your generation calls "vintage" when it was still "new." I am one of those guys on a computer level you don't see to often. I started out programming on an 8086 in the early 80's and ended up retiring from the USAF where I worked on SIPRnet and NIPRnet for the DoD- Google that and you may learn something... I clicked on your thumbnail because you have the large tower version of the same case I used in my Super Socket 7 build "back in the late 90s" only mine has the purple not teal buttons. That is another thing- that tower is period correct for a super socket 7. I paid 120 bucks for mine new. In hindsight I wish I would have spent the 180 for the full tower but I had so many computers up and running that space was limited. If you by any chance downloaded any cracked programs from Kazaa or Bearshare back in the day there was a 75% chance that it was cracked by me. At one point in my life I managed to get to level 7 of the Pentagon security layer. Then I received an email at my Prodigy address that said "First and only warning- knock it off." Then I got a second email asking me to come speak with someone to see if I would be interested in a COM job with the USAF. The rest is classified...
My first computer , I learnt about PC hardware with this computer . I bought it in 2003 second hand , but mine didn't have front bay for microphone input . I still have it and I'm planning to resurrect it one day
Philips actually made this exact same monitor, as in, completely identical but with a philips logo and with a composite input, as the bm7522. There is also the 7502 in green and the 7542 in white
No need to yell. Granted this model already had Component input, and you could use an RGB to Component converter to get identical results, the idea is more to give a tutorial on RGB modding. It also skips 2 transcoding steps and and buying extra hardware for people who want to train on the practice RGB modding with a model that is quite common and easy to find, it was more for the demo and an excuse to make a video about RGB modding than anything else.
I'm using an ultrasaint adapter (similar to ultrasatan I guess) but cheaper that I got on ebay I only had to write an image to a SD card and put the SD card in and it works real simple. But I am also using STE only not any TT or Falcon so I guess that's where the CosmoEx v3 may be advantageous but I think this is a bit complicated for a mainstream Atari STE user like me.
Thank you it helped a lot. A tip here: connect both WIFI with internet access for apt command to work and ethernet cable for dhcp server to start or you will not be able to successfully execute ansible-playbook command. It was failing on me with inactive connections.
I do recap jobs on Sony Handycams quite often. It's cathartic. Once you do a few its like second nature. Glad to be keeping these rad electronics rocking in the real world.
