Hi,as far as i read, all these are kabels to connect a scart-OUTPUT to an VGA-INPUT.(scart-out of receiver to vga-in of a beamer/lcd-tv)These cables are useless for connecting a VGA-card to a monitor, as they do nothandle the vga-sync-singals correct.If you use them, you probably won't get a picture and perhaps will fry yourtv and/or vga-card.....Christoph Paul Menzel schrieb:> Dear readers,> > > I am planning to set up a low budget VDR using the VGA2SCART patches> [1].
