Looking for input on what is the best converter utilizing a vcr to back up VHS tapes. I'm been sifting through a lot gimmicky products. Any recommendations? Looking to backup a bunch of recorded TV, Movies, and Home Videos.
Appreciate it
I bought a couple sets of TT RGB Fittings over a year ago and wasn't to happy with the manual controller for the fittings and the single channel. I designed a Digital to Analog Converter for RGB devices. It takes your typical "5v" Addressable/Digital LED signal from a controller or motherboard and gives you 4 separate addressable channels for your analog devices. The TT RGB Fittings use 5v for their analog LED fittings, so I made two versions of the "ArrrRGB DAC". One has 5v analog for the fittings and 12v analog for everything else. I wouldn't have done this if I didn't get into water cooling and I wouldn't have done that w/o this community. Thanks!
I did an "unboxing", overview, and demonstration on my youtube channel:

I made a demonstration with iCUE controlling my RGB fittings from an early prototype I made a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQIrPHBSaPo
Pre-Production Prototype demonstration:

I have two places selling the DACs for me:
Pirate Dog Tech: https://www.ebay.com/itm/372697341481
ModMyMods: https://modmymods.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=solarity
I prefer 1 xlr and at least 2 other inputs (xlr or 1/8th”).
The other day my grandfather dug up a box of his hi-8 tapes and a camcorder that played them. It is able to stream to RCA using some adapters. These tapes are the only footage of my aunt (his daughter) & great grandparents, so we do not want to send them in to get converted in case something happens to them. How would I go about recording the RCA cables using a mac? I have looked around, and cannot find a way to do it. I have a RCA to usb converter, but the computer just recognizes it as a keyboard.
Not sure which option to go with. I can get a 25 inch CRT tv for free at the cost of space or I can spend 65 or more dollars on a digital to hdmi converter. What is recommended?
Kind of a goofy question because most people are trying to go Cassette to digital, but I’m trying to take my album and put it on a cassette tape, wondering if there any converters out there that would let me do that, or any ideas of what the best way to do that would be?
I have a sennheiser momentum Headphones for monitoring, people say i should use DAC in order to get higher quality output. Is this true ? Can someone explain please ?
I'm stuck on this apparently simple circuit and I'm kind of disappointed in myself that I can't get it to behave properly. It's part of a circuit that converts a 13-bit grey code form a rotary encoder to a voltage. I'm ignoring the 13th LSB digit though, since it was a bit overkill and probably would have so little effect on the voltage that it wouldn't be measurable anyway. The digital grey->binary part I've verified and it works fine, so I omitted that from the picture. The analog output signal however, does not.
So, it's supposed to output a linear signal from ~0-5 Volts depending on the current position of a shaft. Actual absolute output range doesn't really matter as long as it's linear and consistent. Right now it's linear from 0 to about 2 volts, where it'll make a sharp increase/jump of about 300 mV, proceed with a flatter slope up to ~4.8 V and then slowly become saturated at 5V at about 80% of the maximum 12 bit value.
I'm using D0/bit1 to trigger the DAC conversion at /WE.
Why is it acting like this? The jump it does, followed by a different pitch, is my biggest problem. The saturation part isn't as big a deal. The jump seems to coincide with the voltage reference value, which is 2.048 Volts(part number in schematic is wrong), but I don't understand why.
EDIT: SOLVED The GND line for the voltage reference had a break in it, so it wasn't producing a very good voltage reference. =) Thanks for all the help guys!
For those who have a SuperNT and for those who care, eventually a DAC is going to be released so we can play it on our crts. I have been wondering what it will look like and how will function (considering I have scart cables with the snes multi port plug on it running to a switcher etc)
I'm guessing itll be a small plug, with hdmi on one end going to the hdmi port and on the other end of the adapter will be a multi out connection so that any composite, svideo, hd retrovision or scart cable with a snes multi out plug can fit in. Either way I'm excited to play it on my crt and cant wait for the converter to come out.
I have a SNES that I just cannot get to work on my VISEO TV Model M320SL. I know there is a way but it's complicated to remember and I just cannot figure it out and possibly won't have the best picture quality.
But my 3 HDMI ports are taken up by a Chrome Cast Ultra, a PS3, and a Nintendo Switch.
The AV slot is taken by a PSP-3000 AV cable.
If I get this AV to HDMI converter along with this HDMI splitter should that solve all my problems?
I don't really know where to post this question, but I have always liked the kindness of this sub. If you have a suggestion for a better sub to ask this question that would also be great!
So I made the mistake of not looking any further into this deal package with our ISP. They had a "ten dollar off" deal if you opened an account online, as advertised. What I didn't know until today is that it was only a 3 month deal if you did not sign up for autopay initially. The package included BASIC cable of network channels, some oddball who's-watching-these channels, QVC, and Starz. Starz is kind of lame, and we only watch the network channels for football, but it was the cheapest package that included tv.
I'm not under a contract, and frankly paying 95 bucks (69.99 package was 75ish dollars but a few months ago, then went up to 85, and now 95 without the "10 dollar deal") for 50 mbps internet, network tv channels, and the patriot 24/7 is ridiculous. I would like to find the best, but cheap-ish, digital converter to downgrade to just internet. We have had problems in the past with a digital converter that only allowed us ABC and PBS. We contributed the lack of other network channels to us living in Northern Appalachia, however, I really have no idea how these things work. Up until 2 years ago, the last time I had a TV, analog was still all the rave.
Does anyone know of any digital converter boxes that would work well up in the mountains that can provide the full array of network channels?
