Connecting your Computer to a
Television
It is a nasty surprise when you switch your monitor on and nothing
appears on screen after a patient wait. Even though the resolution is much low,
a television may help you to conduct basic procedures (copying your files for
example) in such an emergency. You may think that this is only possible through
expensive VGA cards but it's not true. A simple circuit can combine the VGA
synchronization signals into composite TV synchronization signal. Following
circuit by Tomi
Engdahl carries out this job successfully without any problems. It
utilizes a TTL IC, two transistors and a few resistors.
By putting all of the components on a PCB makes it easier to prepare a
portable VGA to TV adapter. You'll need a male VGA connector to be connected to
your PC and a Scart connector for your TV. Six lines of cable goes from VGA Card
to TV without any alteration, only three of them is needed to be connected to
the PCB board. Here is a PCB design I suggest using. Download this TIFF file
which is set to be printed at 300DPI. You may refer to my PCB design
page to learn how to create your own PCB arts on the computer.

You'll need VGA connector's and Scart's pinouts also, so here they
are. Check out Nikola Asuni's award winning excellent web site of great pinout
collection and other information on electronics.

Since circuit does not utilizes high currents, a very thin PCB plate
would be enough. After drawing and etching processes, drill the holes and solder
the components. Attach wires to the proper connection points and apply +5V
supply voltage. If there's nothing wrong, you should measure nearly 75 mA
current drag for a 74LS86 low power Schottky TTL type IC and again nearly 100 mA
current drag for a 74S86 type IC.

Since sweeping frequencies of the VGA boards are higher than the TV's,
a software is needed to alter it. Here is one called Television
Eyes which both enables you to use circuit in DOS and Microsoft
Windows (at 640 x 480 resolution). Just start your PC in DOS mode and run
'te.com' to install it as a TSR. If you press ALT - Left SHIFT -
E keys simultaneously, the sweeping frequency of the VGA board will be
changed and your TV will be able to sync the signal it receives. Here are
screenshots showing the unsynched and synched states of the TV screen displaying
DOS.

output on TV before and after the synchronization
Text mode applications on DOS works pleasant, as long as they are not
have details too much. For example good old Norton Commander looks very good on
the TV. After switching the Windows to 640 x 480, 16 colors mode (standard VGA)
and applying 'te.com' after a reboot, you may be able to view
Windows too. File 'winte.exe' enables/disables the frequency
alteration and makes it possible to adjust alignment of the screen.
Norton
Commander and Windows on the TV
Picture quality is worse in Windows that even texts of the icons are
unreadable. But as stated earlier, this work is intended to make it possible to
use your PC in case of a monitor emergency. To blind-boot your PC in such an
emergency condition; prepare a .BAT file with a simple name (for
example 't.bat' ) which calls the te.com where it is located.
Than you can connect the circuit to your PC and TV, boot the computer in DOS
mode, and type 't' then press ALT - Left SHIFT - E to
get everything in order.
