G400 -> TV SCART problem solved - errata

[zarnow]

Please everybody apologize for my obscure recipe.

Here below is a revised one (with dots in place
of spaces for better readability):

SCART.........|.Signal.............|.VGA 15pin
male connector|....................|.male connector
pin...........|....................|.pin
--------------|--------------------|---------------
15............|.Red................|.1
13............|.Red Ground.........|.6
11............|.Green..............|.2
9.............|.Green Ground.......|.7
7.............|.Blue...............|.3
5.............|.Blue Ground........|.8
20............|.Video..............|.4
17............|.Video Ground.......|.5
------........|.------.............|.12 shorted with 15 !!!
conn. case....|.shield of cable....|.conn. case

2.............|.Audio R channel....|-|
6.............|.Audio L channel....|.|-from sound card
4.............|.Audio Ground.......|-|

Pins 12 and 15 of VGA connector must be shorted, to inform
G400 about TV connection!

My cable was made from ordinary 8-wire twisted signal cable
with common shield. You may use cable with each signal wire
separately shielded, but I'm not shure about necessity of this.

How long can the cable be without loosing quality?

[zarnow]

Mine is 12m long.
The rule is :
always make the shorter you can!
