PSone Thrustmaster LCD to RGB got a picture!

Filed under: LCD — Piotr @ 9:31 pm

I was looking for a small LCD for my DTV and bought  on ebay a dead PSone with working Thrustmaster LCD for a quite encouraging prise of 2€. Unfortunately this LCD does not provide composite video input. Anyway I wanted to connect it to a video signal just to check if it worked.

It works, hereafter some information for those who wants to reuse this to connect to RGB Vidoe signal.

Pinout of the Sony Multi Video AV interface:

Pin Name Description
1 GND Ground
2 RT Right Audio
3 GND Ground
4 LT Left Audio
5 Y S-Video Y
6 SYNC Composite Sync
7 C S-Video C
8 VGND Video Ground
9 B Blue
10 +5V +5 VDC
11 R Red
12 G Green

Pinout of SCART interface:

scart-pinout2

Pin Name Description Signal Level Impedance
1 AOR Audio Out Right 0.5 V rms <1k ohm
2 AIR Audio In Right 0.5 V rms >10k ohm
3 AOL Audio Out Left + Mono 0.5 V rms <1k ohm
4 AGND Audio Ground
5 B GND RGB Blue Ground
6 AIL Audio In Left + Mono 0.5 V rms >10k ohm
7 B RGB Blue In 0.7 V 75 ohm
8 SWTCH Audio/RGB switch / 16:9 0-2 V=TV, 5-8 V=WideScreen, 9.5-12 V=AV Mode >10 kohm
9 G GND RGB Green Ground
10 CLKOUT Data 2: Clockpulse Out (Unavailable ??)
11 G RGB Green In 0.7 V 75 ohm
12 DATA Data 1: Data Out (Unavailable ??)
13 R GND RGB Red Ground
14 DATAGND Data Ground
15 R RGB Red In / Chrominance 0.7 V (Chrom.: 0.3 V burst) 75 ohm
16 BLNK Blanking Signal 1-3 V=RGB, 0-0.4 V=Composite 75 ohm
17 VGND Composite Video Ground
18 BLNKGND Blanking Signal Ground
19 VOUT Composite Video Out 1 V 75 ohm
20 VIN Composite Video In / Luminance 1 V 75 ohm
21 SHIELD Ground/Shield (Chassis)

The connection between LCD and SCART as a quick and dirty list:

LCD/PSone Multi AV  <=> SCART
 1 GND              <=> GND 21, 5, 9, 13, 18
 2 Right Audio      <=> AIR 2
 4 Left Audio       <=> AIL 6
 6 Sync             <=> VIN 20
 9 B                <=> B 7
11 R                <=> R 15
12 G                <=> G 9
