minus-squarejarfil@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year ago i don’t think adc was encumbered by patents 25 years after the fact. If it were, they’d likely be expired by now. I wonder if an adapter could be made some “DIY” way, if it needs to be active, it could be a fun project for someone into FPGAs.
minus-squareClegko@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIt’s incredibly easy to make an adapter. You really only need the female DVI and ADC ports (you could probably sacrifice a few cables if you can’t get the connectors, too), a breadboard and some wire. https://lookanotherblog.com/diy-adc-adapter/
