GBSVGA Genie 2.0 Pre-Order is Up

[Shift838]

The GBSVGA Genie v2.0 Pre-order is up at the link in the message.

 

GBS VGA Genie V2.0 Pre-Order HERE

 

GBSVGA Genie 2.0 integrates a LM1881 sync seperator to clean both the horizonal sync line.  This board then connects to a GBS8200 Video Convert Converter board which will convert the 15kHz RGB signal to a standard VGA signal.  The GBSVGA Genie V2.0 also has been interfaced to use the 'gbscontrol' external firmware which is programmed into a ESP8266 WEMOS D1 Mini module which allows a smartphone to configure the display paramenters. 

The unit has an audio output that can connect to any PC type speakers with a 3.5mm audio jack.

This unit can work with a Geneve 9640 or any other unit that supports 15kHz signals such as the EVPC and AVPC cards.   

If used with the Geneve then I recommend to purchase my Geneve Video to DB9 adapter.  This will allow you to use a straight through DB9 Male to Female cable.  And no need to solder any DIN connectors.
