RE: RGB to Component. Ohh Eck.

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

No space at the plasma end! I must admit soldering a VGA connector on
doesn't fill me with joy! But hey, all in the name of progress!

As a passing thought.  .......... What's the general opinion on the
effect of connections in a cable run? Does more connections = lower
signal quality? Does the quality of the soldering (Or even solder)
effect signal quality as well?

Many thanks

Rob

It would work but I assume you already had an RGB feed to the Plasma so
why
not just put the converter at that end ( or is there insufficient
space).
With the VGA feed you would need 5 cables RGBHV as opposed to RGBS

Rather than MAKE a VGA to phono lead I would be inclined to buy an off
the
shelf VGA to BNC lead and either fit BNC to PhonoMale adapters or cut
off
the BNC's and fit Phonos. I HATE soldering 15HD's.
