RE: Re: OT? Radio monitor / cable extension

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The reason the extension is thinner is that it is probably a multicore
cable
with an overall screen whereas the monitor cable will be a proper
multi-coax
cable.

You will get ghosting at higher resolutions and refresh rates. I have that
problem with a lead I am using for a switchbox. OK at VGA and SVGA but take
it to XGA (1024x768) or higher and there is bad ghosting.

To answer Brians question, as far as I am aware, there is no RF VGA link
and
most likely never will be. The bandwidth of a VGA signal is far to high to
send by RF. The only way to do it is to use TVout (Composite) and stick it
into a Video Sender. It would be virtually unreadable even at 640x480.
Compare the TV out of your Radeon card to the monitor output. There is no
comparison. Monitor is crystal clear, TVout S-Video is quite good, TVout
Composite is just acceptable. Then consider the difference between SCART
Composite from satellite and RF distribution and imagine that for the PC
output.

Your current options are....
Cheapish VGA extensions that will suffer ghosting.
Good quality VGA cable at about 5-00 per metre
KAT5 AVS to distribute S-Video from TVout
Commercial VGA over CAT5 at about 250 - 400 per set.
Wait for KAT5 VGA.

Hope that helps

Keith

Brian,

I use a monitor extention cable, and it seems to work OK.  One thing
I have never understood though, is that the extention cable is about
half the cross-sectional area than the actual monitor lead.  Anyone
(Keith) know if this is likely to affect the display??
