Hi! Nearly everyone told me, that the signal quality of the "normal" cinch output of my Siemens 1.3 is far behind RGB over Scart or SVideo. So I made 5 (five!) different connector cables from J2 to Hosidien Mdist4. In the meantime, I compared the picture of my old analog receiver with the one of the DVB card connected with the cinch-to-Scart cable, which was delivered with the Siemens card. I assume, that this is a cheap version. Nevertheless, the video signal was a little better then the old receiver connected with an old coax cable (not with Scart!) to the TV. In the next step, I added a very cheap (1 EUR at Reichelt) 10m cinch add-on cable to the DVB connection. The picture quality didn't get worse. Then I tried the different J2 cables I soldered: - 20cm with shielded mini coax cables from the J2 to the Mdist4 - only 5cm flat cable from the old PC serial connector direct attached to the Mdist4 - different ways of connecting the cables to the J2: soldering, crimping
- ... The Mdist4 was connected to a 10m SVideo cable of good quality (gold surface etc.). But the signal of the 10m cinch cable is obviously a little better. It's a little sharper. You can see more details in the face of persons on TV (hair, skin structure, etc.) At least, it's a Philips 9006, which is IMHO one of the best 100Hz TV on the market. The cinch quality is as good as the best other pictures I saw during comparing different TVs before buying this one. I hat no possibility to connect a DVD-Player with a good Scart cable to the TV, but I assume the signal quality could not much better. What's your opinion? Did I make some mistakes with my J2 cable or am I a lucky guy that the my TV cooperates so fine with the cinch output? -Andreas -- Disclaimer - These opiini^H^H damn! ^H^H ^Q ^[ .. :w :q :wq :wq! ^d X^? exit X Q ^C ^c ^? :quitbye CtrlAltDel ~~q :~q logout save/quit :!QUIT ^[zz ^[ZZZZZZ ^H man vi ^@ ^L ^[c ^# ^E ^X ^I ^T ? help helpquit ^D ^d man help ^C exit ?Quit ?q CtrlShftDel "Hey, what does this button d..." -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
