Re: 13W3 to HDMI/DisplayPort
Thx. I haven’t seen many cheap VGA->HDMI adapters. The cheap ones went the other direction. I have been using widescreen displays with my Suns (using Solaris/CDE and OPENSTEP) for some time. My last Sun-badged display was a widescreen. Will look for Extron ones. > On May 24, 2020, at 22:05, Rico Pajarola wrote: > > > I've had good success using various Extron adapters. > > I'm currently using a RGB112xi to convert => VGA. > > So far the adapter works as advertised with anything I managed to connect it > to (various HP/DEC/Sun/SGI/RS6000, including mono and SoG) to a cheap Dell > monitor that definitely doesn't understand sync on green.

Re: 13W3 to HDMI/DisplayPort
I've had good success using various Extron adapters. I'm currently using a RGB112xi to convert => VGA. So far the adapter works as advertised with anything I managed to connect it to (various HP/DEC/Sun/SGI/RS6000, including mono and SoG) to a cheap Dell monitor that definitely doesn't understand sync on green. The adapter fully regenerates all signals including separate H/V sync. >From there I would assume any cheap VGA => HDMI adapter should work (but I never had the urge, because HDMI monitors also tend to be wide format which doesn't work very well for classic computing) I also have other Extron converters, but the RGB112xi is best for 1990s workstations. The only thing I wish it had was a way to choose the color when the input signal is monochrome.

Re: 13W3 to HDMI/DisplayPort
Just bought an Extron RGB-HDMI 300 (A) that handles VGA and other RGB type signals and has HDMI output. I've connected it to my VAXstation 4000/60 (very successfully), and my IIgs (reasonable but this is at the low end of what the unit can manage). Output on either my Sony 46" TV or Apple 1600x1050 monitor. Found one (pull from service) at surpluscrestron.com for $53 shipped. It didn't come with the power supply (12 V @ 1 A) and needed this connector (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/molex/039502/WM7732-ND/1280583) to attach the power supply.
Re: 13W3 to HDMI/DisplayPort
When I first started trying to use VGA LCD panels with my Suns (mostly lunchbox systems, all 4c and 4m desktops), I heard there could be a problem like that and stuck with a particular model Samsung that worked. Then I tried another one and it worked. And another. And another. I haven't encountered one (out of half a dozen) that didn't work. alanp On 5/24/20 9:29 AM, alan--- via cctalk wrote: I've had the opposite experience.

I've had the opposite experience. I've been trying to find a 1U pull-out keyboard/monitor/mouse combo for my E6500 rack. Most of the VGA LCD panels complain about signal out of range on both cg3 and cg6. The E6500 really doesn't need a video console, but it'd be nice if one was tucked in there.

The typical cg3 cg6 with 13W3. Resolution? Framerate? Don’t care as long as it displays. Every flat panel display with a SVGA connector that I have had has worked with my 13W3-to-SVGA adapters. I have seen adapters that do the SVGA to HDMI part. I am asking if someone else here has figured out which one(s) work in this application.

13W3 to HDMI/DisplayPort
Anyone here know of a SVGA-to-HDMI (or DisplayPort) adapter that a 13W3-to-SVGA adapter so I can connect my Sun frame buffers to a HDMI display? I am hoping someone here has already figured this one out. alan
