N64 freak Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 So finally got the case for the HDMI cable finished! The cable itself does work good and is finally in the last steps off testing. Decided to add the OGX logo to the case to make it look even better. So a little more detail about the hardware now! It is basically a Component to HDMI converter that does reencode the Component signal to a HDMI signal. The Xbox will recognize the cable as a component cable and it is plug and play without the need for an extra psu or anything. The HDMI signal does provide stereo audio and there is an optical out on the pcb for digital audio. Can print the case in different colors once the cables are for sale! Before a lot off people ask about them now they will be for sale in around 4 weeks and i will post the add here in the Forums. Will offer them as finished cable and as an internal install kit without the cable and avip plug for those who want to do an internal install on there Xbox. So keep checking the forums not just facebook And without further talking that's how the final product looks like: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklebunker Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Do you have pricing worked out yet? I think a lot of people would find this quite useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novapas Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Great stuff, definitely looking forward to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64 freak Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 @Knucklebunker yes got the pricing worked out. The complete cable with the 3D printed case will sell for 70€ and the internal kit will sell for 55€. Will design and print a mounting help for the internal kit later on. It will hold the pcb and will look like a half open case. The install would be as easy as cutting a square into the case and glueing the mounting help in. Well soldering is still required off course and i will post a guide showing the solder points and how to get it installed later on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklebunker Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sounds reasonable. I didn't realize this would be coming from across the pond. Am I correct in assuming since the picture is being converted to digital it should work fine out of the box for most hdtv sets, or would I have to switch my ntsc console to pal since it will be receiving an analogue pal (presumably) component signal before conversion? Sorry my pal\ntsc knowledge could use some expanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64 freak Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Basically the other way round! Only NTSC consoles can output a hd component picture. Pal consoles need to be switched to NTSC to be able to output a component signal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C. Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 This is cool! How is it coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64 freak Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 The cables work great! Basically i just need to find a spurce for the avip (xbox side) connectors. Hopefully i can find some cheap cables to gut or any other way to get a couple off these plugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notsosmart Sideswipe Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Do you have a capture card to show any footage of the device working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64 freak Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well the capture card would just show you the XBMC (or whatever the consoles screen outputs at the moment) screen. Personally i don't have any video Capture hardware here so i can't show any captures off it sadly. @N163LPH03N1X Could tell you a little more about it as he already has one. He may have a Capture Card to show off some screenshots or videos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notsosmart Sideswipe Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Are these ready to be sold yet? If you mind me asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64 freak Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 @Notsosmart Sideswipe Yes, they are ready and will be offered in a while. Right now i'm soldering together the first few and can offer 5 finished cables as a first batch. My time sadly limits me in building more in the next time but there will be more. Anyone who wants one off the first 5 can gladly throw me a PM! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Cruz Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 By any chance, are these available in a clear Halo green? It would be cool if I could match it with my Halo edition Xbox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64 freak Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 @Edward Cruz I'm working on it! Got almost no spare time to invest into it but i'll plan to print clear (well as clear as possible!) cases in different colors. Need to buy some clear filament for my printer and see how good he handles them! I'll post it here once i got some progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
