I have a question

Post by nightwheel »

So the screen I have has video in. But it's video in port was a 3.5mm earphone style jack. Anyone got a wiring diagram i can use so I can wire this screen properly directly to my system?

I think the video signal on those is near the outer edge (second furthest from the connector tip). That way the wider ground band on regular headphone connectors simply grounds the video signal out when you plug them in. Not 100% sure. Try it and see what happens!

I forgot to say that this jack provides both my video and audio in. I need to get the figured out pretty soon so i can continue my work on my portable.

I know. It looks like a normal headphone jack but has an extra pin for video, right? A lot of camcorders used that.

It's one of these 4 combinations.
