  • Private property is, yeah.

    Not trying to be a pedantic dick, its just annoying when I see people go "leftists want to take your toothbrush" when they don't understand the idea of private property being theft.

  • Converting HDMI to composite

    Jump

  • Okay, I see. Thanks for the heads up. Are there any specific scalers I should consider for minimizing latency that you're aware of?

  • Ahhh thank you for the clarification. I tried to play the recording back and yeah, it was a mess. No colour and blurry as hell. It was a fascinating experiment if nothing else.

  • Doesn't Matrix also have ties to AI/cryptobro bullshit too?

  • Converting HDMI to composite

    Jump

  • Right, thank you I'll try to keep this in mind. What do you mean by the TV supporting it though? Like I said, CRTs have no pixels to the best of my understanding, so how would it be aware of the resolution in order to reject it? I can understand it causing problems, but how exactly can a CRT outright reject a signal like that?

  • I know, though it is a bit worrying that it was there in the first place

  • Converting HDMI to composite

    Jump

  • Thankfully, Mint allows me to output in 4:3 aspect ratio. Now, if the actual resolution will still be an issue, then yeah, I suppose I'll need that. But if I send a converter a ~720p 4:3 signal and it outputs it to composite, what does it matter to the CRT that doesn't have pixels anyway?

    Jump

  • Ohhh as soon as you started talking about frequencies I realized the issue. I never even thought about how high video frequencies are. That should have been my first thought. Now, that said, I'll still give this a go. My interface does have a stupid high sample rate it can use, and if i use a DAW like Ardour and set it to ALSA mode, it should talk directly to the interface with no PulseAudio or PipeWire in the middle to limit that rate. I'll try it tomorrow!

    Edit: re-read your comment and remembered that my interface goes up to 196khz or something! This MIGHT work!

  • Sadly it does not take VGA but I do have an old laptop with native VGA out so I could convert that to composite easier. VGA is already an analog format, right?

  • Converting HDMI to composite

    Jump

  • Yeah that makes sense. I'll have a look into VGA converters, thanks for the tip!

  • I'd have to go back and find the comment where someone told ME but at that rate I should just search for it myself. I'll bookmark this comment so I don't forget to.

  • Converting HDMI to composite

    Jump

  • Hmm, okay I'll consider cheaper options. Thanks for the feedback. Latency isn't too much to deal with I take it if you've been sing it for that long.

  • Converting HDMI to composite

    Jump

  • Funny you say that, because I have an old laptop that has a native VGA output on board and I'm testing it out right now! It works and Mint outputs through it just fine, but I'd need to get a VGA to composite adapter. Buuuut, if I'm gonna do that, I might as well just get an HDMI to composite adapter for the compatibility.

    Also, any USB to composite/s video/component adapters? That sounds like a great workaround.

    Also yeah, I know latency will exist, but it can always be minimized.
