Hi Folks,
I am the proud owner of a vintage Scenemaster 60 Console. We saved this from the landfill along with it's dimmers and they have been in use in a local not-for-profit house. The not-for-profit has an ETC Ion and no need for the Scenemaster console anymore. I am trying to resurrect this with some analog dimmers to give to another up and coming youth group that has no $. Before I buy a D to A converter, I need to make sure the console is still alive. It has video out, but from what I know and can tell the output is a 9-pin EGA signal (Horiz freq at 21.8 Khz, vert at 60 Hz, 640 x 350, I think !). I purchased an inexpensive CGA/EGA/VGA to HDMI converter and hooked it to a recent monitor. Signal, but no image. A good friend helped trying a few things w/ an o-scope, so we're sure there is signal there but not sure if we have a converter that will work. The converter is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078HH526F/?tag=controlbooth-20
Anyone have any experience with getting an old video signal to work? I remember this is a good basic board to learn and use, it would be a shame to get rid of it just due to the lack of ability to see the video signal.
Any and all help is appreciated !
