Hello everyone! I'm working (slowly working anyway) on building a Head Mounted Display (HMD) for messing around with some virtual reality. I have worked out some plans for a circut to split the VGA signals created by my computer to get a brightness output and the horizontal and vertical outputs to each one of these two viewfinders I bought at an Electronics shop. Basically the red goes to one eye, the green to another, copy the syncs. Anyway, the problem I am having is that I have no idea what the pin connections are on the view finders I bought (hey, for $4 a pop, ya can't go wrong). These are somewhat standard looking panasonic video camera viewfinders with the lenses, plastic case, little B/W tv and a circut board. The only thing I have to go by is the serial number on the circut board. It has the little Matsushita symbol all over it and the following numbers: VRYD150J5B (on the front and back) GCMK-20X (on the back) There are two green connectors coming off of the circut board. One has three wires and the other has 9 wires. There's also a metal box (some sort of shielding I suppose) that has the following number on it: X-C0079S and then 62 03101 below it. Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. Oh, how many scan lines? Peter McDermott pmcdermo@cs.utexas.edu -- ----------------------------- If it ain't broke, break it.
