How to build your own transcoder for less than $30:

A person by the name of Ken Gasper originally built and sold a transcoder called
the XboxVga. He is no longer selling it, and the schematics have since appeared
online:
Attached File VGA1.zip ( 20.47K ) Number of downloads: 4794

However, there are a few things you need to change:

1. In the LM1881 schematic, R30 needs to be a value of 680K - not 340K
2. Some LCDs will only work with a horizontal sync input signal, not both
horizontal and vertical. My CMV 520D only shows a picture when the vertical sync
output to the VGA is disconnected.
3. You also need to be aware of AC getting through on 5V AC to DC power supplies.
If you see horizontal green bands slowly moving up the screen, your power supply
is letting some AC through. Either filter it, or use a better power supply.

Getting the parts:

I bought most of the parts at Mouser Electronics
The 4383 ampflier comes in surface mount only. You can buy a surface mount to
through hole adapter for $6 at BrownDog There are other amps with similar
characteristics out there that will work...I just don't know of any off hand.
