That is pretty much just a DVI cable with adaptor.
Pin Schematic For DIY HDMI Cables?
Hey 'Goners!
Let your video genius and knowledge shine through! I would like to DIY an HDMI cable, but one that serves ONLY for video signal transfer (audio is processed separately using the 'audio out' jacks from the player to my sound system.) What are the best connectors and wire for this VIDEO-ONLY application, and most importantly, where can I get a schematic showing the HDMI cable connector pin pattern, specifically the functions of each pin connector and MOST ESPECIALLY which pins are needed for video transfer? I do NOT want audio or other non-video related signal pins hooked up, I just want to make a video cable that will ONLY send the necessary video information from my player to my TV via the HDMI interface. ALL of the other pin connectors which provide functions extraneous to video reproduction will be eliminated from the design. My guess is that such a cable should yield good visual benefits. I'll report back with results once a functional HDMI connector is made. It will be compared to some cheap and a few more expensive HDMI designs, as many as my friends and I can manage. Should be fun!
Of course, any other advice you "Goner video experts would offer is also appreciated. Thank you all!
Also, I'm not a tech-guy, so "KISS!" (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) The level of a budding neophyte videophile should do (i.e., the level of a clever twelve year old! That way, if I get confused I can have my 'clever' twelve year old son figure it out for me!)
Thus, I ask you 'Goners for help. Thanks for all of your anticipated assistance and advice.
HAPPY LISTENING!!
