Computer to TV?
I have seen alot of people saying that they are displaying g-force on their tv's, how can you get this to work/ what kind of cord do you have to get in order to hook it up right?
It depends on the commonality between your PC/Mac and your TV.
If your TV has a VGA connection, sweet. If it has a DVI (or HDMI. you can get DVI -> HDMI converters. HDMI is just DVI + room for an audio signal) connection as does your computer, sweeter.
If not, then we have to figure out how to turn your VGA output into an RCA Composite (or S-Video) input.
Some PC video cards have composite output, as do some laptops. It uses a cable like this:
. The yellow one's the video so you might need a 3.5 mm -> RCA cable for audio if you want to put that into an amp or something..
Some Macs (like the mac mini) can use DVI -> DVI if you have it or you can get a DVI -> S-video converter.
If none of these options are available, you'll need a VGA -> composite scan converter. You can buy a cheapie or buy something from Kramer electronics
:
Be aware, however, that if you are using composite video or S-video on a standard definition TV, it won't look nearly as good as what it does on a good LCD computer monitor.
"The image quality of a Composite Video Signal is not comparable to the image quality of a VGA Signal. The bandwidth of an interlaced Composite Video Signal is ~ 5 MHz which is just a fraction of the bandwidth of a progressive VGA signal which may be 50 to 100 + MHz. The narrow bandwidth and interlaced scanning of a Composite Video Signal limits image quality." (from allthings.com.au)
