- Following DR. MATH'S suggestion, we got two free MC13077P encoder
- chips from Motorola University Support. In theory we should be
- able to wire up a CHEAP video encoder ($30?) for our Indigo XS-24
- with SUPER-VHS output until SGI is able to ship its rumored Elan
- Video Board option (hopefully before it snows in San Antonio ;-)
-
- What is the best way to attach an Indigo to a stand-alone
- encoder without rewiring the graphics board? In the 'old' days
- when monitor cables were simply 3 BNC connectors, I would have
- used BNC 'T' adapters. Now that the Indigo has some "non-standard"
- D-shell connector made by AMP, things are a bit more difficult.
- Anyone know the AMP part number for the male and female of this
- connector species?
-
- I've heard there is a "modified" monitor cable for the Indigo that
- allows it to connect to some types of printers -- presumeably
- via BNC connectors. Does anyone know about this cable and it's
- SGI part number? In particular, is it a "Y" cable so I don't have
- to physically disconnect the monitor everytime I go into "NTSC mode"?
- Could this cable also be used with an enternal encoder box?
-
- Thanks.
