Only one thing is missing - road test ... 
Does the Mvisto have RGB out, or how did you solve the picture signal? |

Re: ICS videointerface - Alfa 166
Thanks all ...

Re: ICS videointerface - Alfa 166
Hello.
Thx for the pinout of the ICS!
I took a laptop with broken lcd, installed Geexbox on it, and converted vga to PAL. It works well. (one could also use simple H+V=Csync and powerstrip if the system runs windows, i guess)
A great plus is the built in FTP-server, so I can add/remove music and movies from my computer indoors.
Watching widescreen movies is not great, but i will buy a USB TV-receiver, seeing the tv-news on long drives would be nice.
Regards

Re: ICS videointerface - Alfa 166
No, but controlling geexbox from the ICS panel should not be that hard, on the other hand many remotes are supported.
Right now i have some issues with power on/off from the central locking system with off delay of 15min. And also some issue with the sound levels i think (quality is not terrific).

I hope he isn't using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse whilst steering . If it's running Windows, you'd need an ICS button to activate Ctr-Alt-Del  . |

I'm not sure, because the homepage is not clear about the outputs and cables. If it only sends TV (pal/ntcs) on the composite cable, you either convert the composite to RGB or the vga to PAL (rate and size), or find a player that outputs RGB scart.
If it did output RGB scart i belive that they would include a such cable. |

I don`t think it has RGB Scart, because I looked at lots of this kind a stuff, but found nothing useble.
I know it is half the price of Mvisto, but if you use this Prestigo you will have to gat also a composite to RGB scart or VGA to RGB scart converter.
@dan81
Look one page back.
Pin 5 on green connector connect to ground, to activate TV input.
Stereo - if you have DSP and you can tinker around that. |
