Hi all,

This is a bit of an off-topic question, but I hope there will be somebody here that can help. I have bought a new-old stock monochrome CRT for a HP Agilent 8920A, basically this unit here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273930914548 .

It looks to me that it is just a rebranded OmniVision 6" display: http://www.omnivisionusa.com/Industrial-LCD-CRT-Monitors/replacement-crt/crt-monitors/6-inch-kit-.html

Now unfortunately it takes TTL video as input. But I have a composite source (a Raspberry Pi). How can I convert composite into TTL? I basically need to extract Hsync and Vsync and feed it separately to the unit, okay. There is an old circuit here that does just that: https://www.elektormagazine.com/magazine/elektor-198812/47485

But I know there are also dedicated chips, like the GS1881: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/761/GS1881_GS4881_GS4981_Datasheet-769183.pdf

So basically here is my question: before I dive into this any further, is there any chance of success? What is the optimal choice? Or is it quite unlikely that I will be able to convert the signals? I mean, even if I manage to extract Hsync and Vsync, is it likely to work?

I am sorry for the naive question, but I am no expert on video signals, and it would be nice if anybody more experienced could chime in with a few words of caution/experience.

Best wishes
Jens
