Cybervision 64 video card question.

[x56h34]

Where can one find a suitable passthrough cable, which can be used with the input port of the CV64 card and a scan doubler? Is this just a simple VGA extension cable, only very short?

[x56h34]

I see. :-) Thanks for the speedy reply.
So, should I expect a decrease in image quality if I use a long(ish) VGA extension cable? Is there a recommended length for the cable, or any length should do just fine?

[x56h34]

Thanks for the input guys.
I'll try to find as short as possible cable (3 feet seems the shortest available length).

@Brian:

Do you have an online link to a store that's selling those 1' cables, by any chance? I'm just looking for the shortest possible length in order not to trip over cables. :-)

@Doobrey:

That's not a bad idea, although I think that the supplied passthrough cable is not a DB15 "male to male", which is required for the CV64 and a scan-doubler.

Another question just came to my mind.

Is it true that the highest non-interlaced 24-bit mode resolution that this card can do is 800x600? If I wanna go 1024x768 in 24-bit, it would have to be interlaced, right?

Thanks.

@Tempest:

That's the info that I needed. Thanks! :-)
I use 1024x768 16-bit non-interlaced and it works great. CybergraphX v4 here too, with the latest patch installed.
Too bad that 24-bit modes are limited to 800x600 if you want non-interlaced display, however considering the age of this technology, regardless, I bet that the card was quite a monster when it was released. :-)
