Question on Sega Model 2 video output, specifically Virtual On...
Hey guys, I've had this idea for a long time now and although I doubt it is possible I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask...
What I would like to do is run a cable through the back of a Sega Model 2 Virtual On cab, each side actually, into two external monitors that I can attach to the ceiling to allow spectators to easily see how the battle is going during tourneys from both cabs (as well as record straight from those monitors). What I'm really thinking "external monitor" wise are a couple of cheap TVs, but I don't know if that's even possible. I know it is on Sega NAOMI Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram cabinets from this photo:
But I guess what I need to know is if there's any way to do it using the wiring from an original Model 2 Virtual On cab to connect to a video signal that can either be relayed to another arcade monitor or any sort of television. Both sides work fine and there ARE panels on the back to route wiring out of. I know I can get wiring in and out, the question is what wiring and if there is even any way currently technologically to do so.
http://www.sauservice.com/manuals/Virtual On Folder/VOhtml/VO0.html is the schematic and manual if you aren't familiar with the wiring, I am but I have no clue how to relay any video footage through. Audio would be great too actually, but I doubt even more that that would be possible than that video would, heheh
My only concern is that since Naomi is a far more universal arcade system than Model 2, it may not work... but if it does it would be sweet, and I make this thread on the off hope that it is.
Thanks in advance for keeping the dreams of this mecha fanboy alive!
