I have a brand new sharp image SI-319 monitor I want to install in a
Two Tigers game, but I can't seem to get it to sync right. I have tried
every possible combination. The game boards are -vert and seperate
-Horiz. sync. The monitor has a jumper labeled h+v and v.c. not sure
what that means but tried it both ways and still no sync. I do get an
image but is obviously out of sync. Of course the monitor did not come
with a manual.
Anyone have any experience with these?
Thanks
Schmitty

Schmitty,
Try using a 74LS04. It's an inverter. The h+v is probably for
composit input. The inverter will change your neg sync to positive
sync. The chip may cost you $2-3. You can probably even get them at
Radio Shack.

Thanks for the advice Don, I am looking into that, however according to
the specs from sharp images web site the SI-319 is capable of positive
and negative sync. I agree that h+v probably means composite sync but
the other option on the jumper is v.c. What the hell could that stand
for?

Two Tigers (great game, miss mine) is +SYNC ... most modern monitors
only accept -SYNC
H+V is probably going to mean that you're using seperate syncs, V.C.
probably means composite connected to the V pin.
Never looked into it, but maybe there's an easy on-board hack for those
MCR games to put out -SYNC (like there is for Q*Bert, Defender, etc.)
Now you got me thinking.
Anyways, you'll want to invert and combine your syncs, there's a
hundred articles on doing it. Good luck.

In case anyone's interested I've got some cool links with really good
tech info. I'm currently doing some research on the subject while
designing a HUD. The links give some good background info on composite
video. What I found interesting is that the NTSC field waveforms are
the same for both B&W and color with the exception of the color burst
and color encoding for the line display.
