    Hi,
    I'm in need of a GC Composite cable, either that or a d-terminal cable or VGA cable, so long as they utilise the digital-out port, looking to pay upto $50 for one excluding shipping (to UK).
    Anyone have one they'd want to sell?
    Thanks

    Yeh I made the same type in another post too and got corrected haha.
    I'm no longer looking, I tried the PAL output from the analogue port and it outputs at 15K which my monitor can't take (either that or I did something wrong, NAOMI2 setup at 15K works...).

    So unless when hacking the component cable gives a signal at 30KHz... Sorry =/

    it actually gives 50KHz.

    It's 640x480 @ 60Hz. Surely it's around the standard ~31kHz horizontal sync?

    It is 31KHz? Why does the analogue port RGB output at 15KHz and the digital port at 31KHz?

    Can you confirm if it actually works on an LCD monitor?

    I was simply talking about this:

    0xCC00206C 2 R/W VICLK - VI Clock Select Register
    0 - 27 MHz video CLK
    1 - 54 MHz video CLK (used in Progressive Mode)

    I think you're losing sight of the wood for the trees here splith.

    If they didn't they wouldn't work with their target devices.

    Analogue 480i is 15.6kHz as standard (this has been the standard since the 1950s, incidentally). Old SD TV sets, regardless of whether the signal comes via RF, RGB SCART, or 3xphono jack composite, or 4-pin DIN S-Video or whatever, expect an interlaced* 15.6kHz signal and nothing else. Doubling that up (to make the signal progressive rather than interlaced) results in a 31.2kHz signal, but you need new hardware to be able to display it, hence different cabling.

    *The exception to this is "240p" content like NES, Megadrive etc. This is sent as a 480i signal but displayed as 240p through some trickery.

    If your monitor (regardless of CRT, LCD, Plasma etc) supports component 480p then yes, of course it will work. What good would the cable be otherwise?

    Note that's MHz for the video clock, which isn't important for this discussion. Let's not confuse things.
