Title: NGC PAL RGB cable to RGB(HV) bnc's
Post by: gori on December 13, 2003, 01:54:31 AM
hi !

i wanted to know if it is possible in your opinion
to make a cable from a original RGB gamecube pal scart cable  but to "cut" the scart part for a  RGB(hV) bnc cable.

I am thinking of connecting all my RGB able machines to an RGBHV bnc 10 input switcher from extron to a single RGB scart output

i didn't find the schematic for the NGC RGB cable, somebody has one ?

thanks !

Eric

The Gamecube pinout is the same as the SNES.

To make it easy, you could always just make a cable with a female Scart plug on one end, and BNCs on the other.

thanks for the info !
i was told that the snes rgb cable (and i tried) didn't work on the gamecube
but the pin emplacement are the "same" ?

i won't use a female scart as i want to use better cables all the way  ;)

thanks for the help

The Gamecube scart cable has some capacitors in it that don't work with the PAL SNES, but the pinout is the same.

Note that only the PAL GameCube has RGB output, the NTSC ones do NOT.  They must use the digital port and a converted Component cable for RGB output.

right for the pal exclusive rgb (but no y/c i think ?)

so, all i have to do (with my pal gamecube) and a rgb cable
is to cut the cable after the ngc "plug" side (in order to keep the capacitors), solder my better bnc cables and that's it ?

i'll give a try and keep you informed ;)

thanks !

and merry xmas
