Tempest Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Is it possible to get S-Video out of an ADAM? If not, can it be modded for S-Video like the Colecovision? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I've been looking on the net and I've found nothing about this. I'm starting to guess that no it's not. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph74 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I don't have access to an Adam right now, but doesn't the Adam have a DIN connector on the back to where you could make a cable similar to this?? http://radagast.bglug.ca/C64_svideo/C64_Svideo.html Not sure if the pinout is the same though.

Tempest Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Can you just use a standard 5 PIN DIN cable? I'm not 100% about that, I'll have to check. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph74 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think Doubledown would be the guy to ask, as I think he actually sold a couple of Adam Monitor cables a while back. But for some reason, with nothing to back it up, I'm still thinking it's possible to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 DoubleDown hasn't been on in awhile, I don't know what's up with that. Anyone try a simple 5 Pin DIN s-video cable and see if it works? I'd try it myself but I don't have one. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest I have played around a bit but just wound up using a 5-pin din cable for sound only and the separate rca monitor jack for video on a Commodore 1702. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Ok, all I was saying is that you dont get s-video out of the DIN plug. One guy did an attempt at the mod on a CV, and basically an ADAM is a CV+, this one sounds incomplete/not 100%. http://www94.pair.com/jsoper/cv_svideo.html As already stated, Doubledown would know but he's MIA. Another HW guru is 5-11under, he'll likely contribute when he sees the thread. Edited April 5, 2010 by coleconut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ok, all I was saying is that you dont get s-video out of the DIN plug. Ahh ok. Good to know. I guess I'm stuck with composite then unless someone decides to start modding ADAMs (not bloody likely). I wonder if there's at least a way to 'tweak' the composite then? It's not bad, but it's not great either. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
