I would like the hear others' views regarding such a design. It works something like this: since a normal DVI for our purpose consists of
25-pins (24 pins representing a pixel being 24-bpp with 8-bits per color plus one extra pin for clock) each pixel can be seperated by channel (RGB) and fed as a sample into three consequitive DACs during the scanning of a frame. When the value of the three 8-bit colors is fed into the three DACs repectively, the analogue signal that is produced from the outputs of the three DACs is then sent through the three seperate RGB guns in a CRT while scanning a frame. With good timing considerations, a good picture will be produced in time.A diagram has also been demonstrated below:
___ / |
24-pin DVI + 1 CLK / | _ / | | \\ RED CHANNEL +===== R --- |- | o-- ------- | +== G | CRT |
- |======== . . . . . o--| 8-bit | | | +=B --- |
- |======== . . . . . o--| |----O ====== | | \\ |
- | o--| DAC | | | \\ | | / o-- ------- | | \\___| - | | GREEN CHANNEL | | o-- ------- | | o--| | | | INPUT ==>> o--| |----O ========+ | o--| | | o-- ------- | | BLUE CHANNEL | o-- ------- | o--| | | o--| |----O =========+ o--| | o-- ------- o = Digital Input O = Analogue Output ... = Trail
Suggestions are appreciated alongside any considerations that must be taken account of for a design such as the above.
