After bridging D1 and the config.txt settings everything started working beautifully.īTW one can easily measure the current needed for the adapter without removing D1 by putting an ampere-meter between TP1 (5V) and the diode's cathode, next to "D1" on the PCB. 2V off the 5V rail so we end up with 4.8V which for my adapter wasn't enough. * The voltage supplied to HDMI pin 18 via D1 is not sufficient so D1 has to be bridged * The supported monitor mode(s) are not reported back to the HDMI, so hdmi_mode has to be set to the needed resolution and refresh rate directly * HDMI is not properly detected so that hdmi_safe=1 has to be used in config.txt, as mentioned above That said though, unpowered converters are still a risky gray area, because the pi has a diode in place that can easily burn out if too much power is being pulled through the HDMI port - you would be well advised to get a HDMI>VGA converter with it's own power supply, or if you're okay with a soldering iron, you can open up that unpowered converter and inject a few volts of your own.Īfter fighting with getting my cheapo VGA converter to work on the RPi for a while I thought I'd share my results here. Prices for converters are also getting lower all the time. To save yourself from heartbreak and a hole in your wallet, you should just look for a method to convert the analog video signal to a vga plug into a monitor instead of trying to harness the HDMI signal.Īctually, the neewer converter is one of the ones in the wiki listed as working. Some cheap ebay or amazon product going for $10 ain't gonna do the job for you. As stated on the forums in numerous places, you'd need a special converter box to convert the digital HDMI signal to VGA. You'll see heaps of different ones on the market but they probably won't work. I will try this with another modern computer instead of the vintage computer to see if I can make that work.Ahstwin wrote:Converting from a HDMI to VGA signal is not advised as the converters can be hard to find (Both expensive and difficult to obtain).

I loaded Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and changed the Windows resolution to XGA 640x480 at 16 colors. The resolution of that is 320x200 at 16 colors. The converter does warm up, which the instructions say it should if it is on.ĭuring all the above, the vintage computer was outputting the starting screen of Hugo's House of Horrors, where Hugo is outside the haunted house. (That has also been shown to me to "fix" a video signal that I should be receiving but am not.) No change. I also closed OBS and reopened it several times during changing these settings. (I have RCA-to-USB video converters that will not output a video until their audio input is also selected this way.) I've made sure that "Use custom audio device" is checked, and the Audio Device is set to the converter's audio.Resolution: Until now, I have had the OBS source settings for the converter at "Device Default.".Configure Video: there are no options to change resolution.It doesn't say anything about the supported input resolutions.

According to Properties, it is at port 0002, hub 0008.Īttached is the one-page manual that came with the converter.

The Amazon listing says no driver installation is needed. I disconnected the VGA splitter but no change.
