NGPC - RGB Output
#2
Yeah, okay, I kinda get it after a while of investigating.

That board seems to be a microcontroller development board. In the ZIP file, he supplies the firmware to flash to the board. I don't think that's what the EXEs are, though, because he mentions using Quartus II in the readme.

The readme also lists the connections to make between the NGPC and the USBFX2. That picture shows which points to solder to on the NGPC. Then you'd need to hook the other end of each wire to the USBFX2.

On his link, there's a video. If you jump to 7:09 in the video, you get the NGPC stuff.

But, I think what is happening is that he's grabbing the NGPC RGB data and shoving it over USB to the PC. Then, there's a PC app that grabs it and just displays it on the screen. Maybe that's what the EXE files are for.

It's a cool technique, but it's not RGB out. However, it's obviously able to grab the data, so maybe the same technique could be used to convert that data to some other video format. I'm no video format expert, but this is interesting data!
