[mythtv-users] Confusion about Output Cards.

[Nick Ellson]

The DAV-FR1 that I have shows:

1 x Headphones (RCA phono) - Side,
1 x Monitor output (4 pin mini-DIN) - Rear
1 x Monitor output (RCA phono x 3) - Rear
1 x Component video output (RCA phono x 2) - Rear
2 x Audio line-in (TOS Link) - Rear
1 x SPDIF input (RCA phono) - Rear
1 x Rear center channel output - Rear

So I have the RCA type, and if I understand it right, long well shielded 
RCA cable isn't too hard to find.


As for the Video, I did physically look at the back of my set, and there 
is the HDMI connector: I found

http://www.bestcableforless.com/search_hdmi.asp?txtfrom=GO-hdmi-dvi

HDMI cables up to 115ft (more than I need)

Or this site:

http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/DVI_monitor_cables.html

That makes DVI <-> HDMI cables and adaptors.

http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/DVI-hdmi_adapt.html (the Key Digital 
Swivel looks nice)

So I get a long enough HDMI cable, adapt that to the video card DVI output 
(single DVI I suspect?) And run along side it a RCA coax for audio SPDIF 
to the sound system (saw no real method of making use of the Audio 
transport in HDMI).
