  1. As promised: the design of the CMPTR signal breakout board is released! Does it work? Yep. Is it cheap? Not really. However, it a nice option to have if you have a Sony PVM with a CMPTR connector and you want to use RGBS or RGBI/CGA/TTL.

  2. A couple of extra photos of the CMPTR board and how it hooks up to the PVM. It's still crazy that Sony decided to use a DB25 cable for RGB/RGBI/CGA/audio...not sure if it wouldn't have been easier to just break those out on the back. Either way, it's not something I have to worry about again.

    I'll end up posting the schematic and PCB stuff once I verify that the 2.1 version of the board doesn't have the same issues that this one does. They're minor, but I want to make sure it's 100% good to go before posting them online.

  3. Done with this project, everything except for the audio port worked (not a huge issue, but annoying). Passed in CGA via the DB-9 connector, RGB via the BNC connectors and the Sony PVM was more than happy to display the signal.
