RGBHV to DB15, where and how much?

[buns]

Im getting very close to getting a 6 series panny plasma and by Gordons recommendation, it will be run into the vga input from the rgbhv output of a lumagenHDP (not risking dvi until I know the issues can be worked around). Gordon suggested an extron cable but I dont know where to go to get one. I probably only need 1m length. I presume i need male vga to female bnc. How much should I pay? Alternatives? Bettercables? Again, where from?

many thanks

buns,

Surprised you did't ask...as I thought I said I use one of these

Joe @ TMF (www.tmfsolutions.co.uk) sells Bettercables DB15=>5BNC...£100 approx for 2m...I got mine from him...

you did say didnt you....... silly me...... it must have bypassed my brain in some way because you are doing VGA to RGBHV where i want to do it the other way around

£100 sounds a tad too much for me..... it would be cheaper to go RGBHV to RGBHV

That's for 2m.

VGA => VGA can be just as much if you go for quality cables like Bettercables...they are pretty full on...

Check out the Van Damme range from here: http://www.av-sales.co.uk/html/vandamme.html

or here: http://www.js-technology.com/cables/index.htm#vga

Also check out the classifieds as they often have VGA cables...

Thanks guys, that gives me a tad more choice...... I am just a bit scared off by the thought of £120 cables!! Normally I get powerbuy or home made ones at a fraction!

HD15 to HD15 or 5BNC are pretty similar in price from most of the cable manufacturers.

We mainly supply VanDamme, Supra and BetterCables into the Home theatre market - though we do supply Extron, In-Line and Kramer switching and distribution products and occasionally cables from these companies.

A decent quality HD15 to HD15 or 5BNC from any of the above is going to cost you near £100.00 - though VanDamme do have the economy 'Blue' series at around £25.00.

More than happy to provide you with a Blue Series plus one of the others for you to evaluate - its not difficult to see why your spending more on the likes of the BetterCables Silver Serpent; especially with the feed from a Lumagen processor.

Best regards

Joe

Sorry Ad I thought you knew Joe was the man for this stuff. I use Bettercables myself. I used to use RGB communications own brand 5 core but they changed to Extron. I have one fo those as well that I carry around with me.

If Joe can get you good short HD15 to 5BNC then that'll be fine. In my home system I have a very short (under 1m) Van Damme RGBHVtoVGA and Extron DVI.

Cheers,
