New CV boards?

[cbmeeks]

What's the latest on the new CV board replacements? I believe there were two of them right?

 

The official threads seem to have tapered off or stopped altogether.

 

Thanks.

Mine has just been stalled, at least for now. Fortunately, though, I am pretty much caught up with other work, so we'll see what happens... .

That's good to hear.

 

I read most of the other thread but I can't remember what all you had planned. Would you mind a recap of the planned features?

 

Thanks!

If 5-11under has to keep recapping the possibilities of this in-development drop-in replacement CV board, he will never have time to finish it! Anyway, as you stated, it's all in the other thread.

5-11Under am still willing to supply an rgb monitor if you are able to include rgb output support in your board

As it happens, I actually have an RGB monitor now. I still need to test it, though.

What's better about RGB instead of the more common component video, especially since the CV video chip outputs a form of component video already?

For the ColecoVision, yes, component/YPbPr is a very natural choice, and should give best results if done properly.

 

RGB is loved by at least a couple of groups of people... those who use/prefer arcade monitors, and those who use the Framemeister (or similar device).
