Please post your 'hinv' in the following format:

Topic: Kind of machine (O2, Octane, Tezro, Onyx2, etc.), CPU (R10k 250MHz, R12k 300MHz, R16k 1GHz, etc.), RAM, graphics option (Example: Tezro V12 4xR16K 700MHz 4GB)

Body: output of hinv -v (hinv -vm if possible) and /usr/gfx/gfxinfo.

Please wrap the output in BBCode "code" blocks to improve legibility.

Do you happen to have a vbob with the dvi option? I'd love to see how the tvo+vbob does full digital with IR!

I have the vbob mentioned in the HD-GVO Owner's Guide. I'm still watching for an affordable HD or SD video device that will accept the BNC video out provided by the vbob.

Before you get your hopes up too high: HD-GVO supports 720p, 1035i and 1080i. No way to get 1920x1200 or even 1920x1080(p) from it. You could add a HD-deinterlacer to the chain, but that adds up to a lot of gear and still no perfect solution. Or find a 1080i HD-SDI to HDMI converter and hook it up to a TV 8-)

Historic detail: my 1990 vintage 4D/440 VGX supports 1035i as well. Analog, but still :)

Yeah I'm well aware of the downside of playing with HD video stuff - and no small part of why I mentioned I was still watching for an affordable HD video device.

There's a later model which has the two tmds inputs and a dvi output as an optional module. I don't have the part number on me, but I have one and am always looking for good deals on an hd-tvo and cabling. :)

Sounds like a DM5 equipped vbob (which is intended for Odyssey rather than IR graphics). Does your vbob look similar to this?

If not, when you have opportunity the part number and a few photos would be a nice addition to expand what little vbob info we have on nekochan.

Probably best screen per dollar if you are looking for a basic HD (1080i only) is a crt projector TV about 50 inches or so. Chance you can score one from craigslist or the garbage dump for free if you keep an eye open. My parents have something like this, I believe it is akai brand. Convergence sucks and white balance too, but hey it's just a TV and there are more important things in life than watching stories :mrgreen: It is still pleasurable to watch, just not comparable to the latest and greatest on display in the shops.

Recondas had a good point -- I don't want anyone to read this thread and get the impression that there is a VBOB with DVI output designed to work with the DG5-2/TVO.

That being said, regardless of what it was originally intended to do, it may be possible to get it working with a DG5/TVO.

It's a shame there isn't more info available for the DMediaPro VBoBs on TechPubs. I had one of the VBoBs with a DM5 (the DM5 is a optional daughterboard with three DVI ports - two in and one out). That particular DM5-equipped VBob had a chassis part number (013-3636-006 Rev A) that was different than the VBoB with the TVO-intended TOI option board (with two TMDS ports) shown above (013-2746-007 rev A). Jan-jaap also has a DM5-equipped VBoB with part number 013-3646-006 rev A.

In spite of the part number differences, both the 013-2746-007 and 013-3646-006 VBoBs I had ran the same firmware release (version 1.3.22 - . If you aren't already familiar with the process, the DMediaPro VBoBs can output boot and diagnostic info via a serial connection). What, if any, differences there are between VBoBs with either of those part numbers has yet to be discovered.

It might well be different if a DG5-2/TVO is connected, but *so far* no one has reported getting any output from the "DVI Out" port on the DM5. Some of the cabling diagrams in Discreet manuals seem to indicate that Discreet used the non-DCD base 13W3 or DVI port on the Odyssey graphics board to connect a display , rather than the 'DVI Out' port on the DM5. If the Discreet cabling was done to work around a DM5 hardware (or driver) limitation, it might make using the DM5 as the means to provide a digitally-connected IR/TVO display an even larger challenge.

I posted a couple of pictures of the VBOB in my original thread, but it still looks like any other DM5 equipped VBOB to me :)

If you have any doubt that you can run two DVI cables from a DCD to the DM5, and a third one to an LCD, let me clear that up. I have done that and it woks just fine. I used regular, but good quality 6ft dual link DVI-I cables (so with all pins present). I'm pretty sure I've also used a DVI-HD15 cable to attach an analog screen to the DM5.

The DCD board itself was discontinued at some point too, and then Discreet started recommending a DVI splitter, with one output going to the DM5 and one going to the monitor. They also described how to use the 13W3 with the DCD installed, even though SGI tells you to install a shield over the 13W3.

I don't really understand why you need to run *two* DVI cables to the DM5 (and *one* out) when it is essentially a GVO (graphics to video) device. AFAIK, you cannot output a true dual monitor desktop (e.g. 3840x1200) to HD-SDI, and even if you could, there's only 1 (single link) DVI output.
