We are using standard vga cable to the converter so it can be as long as you like. Also we will not have a price until the unit is fully tested. I can take a shot in the dark and say probably 200-300.

sitruca, to be honest with you I don't know a damn thing about macs..lol. But if you can get it working on a regular touchscreen is should work for you as well.

Thanks for the info!

What is the interface for the touch screen? Does it require drivers?

The touchscreen interface is also custom made. It will require drivers and will only be for xp/2000. At least for now.

Just wondering why we were moved. There seems to be a lot less traffic in the user ino. If possible can thread be moved back to LCD/Display.

This is with the touchscreen overlay? Looks very good to me. I'd like to for you guys to consider uploading more pictures with skin tones content, maybe under sunlight, etc., but since I don't have an Alpine anyway, I can wait until the tactile touchscreen thing is put to work. Then I'd consider buying the Alpine w/ the converter.

Great job, nonetheless.

Yes those pictures are with touchscreen. We are using the alpine built in touchscreen. I will get some different pics with different info in them. Thanks for the comments.

BTW we will be looking into the tactile feedback after the touchscreen interface is complete.

you mean from the main lcd section? I've brought that up & seeing what I can do, there is a permanent redirect in the lcd forums, this is still kinda new & were looking into the best way to handle this.

Is this screen RGBs? Are all alpines RGB+composite sync or sync on green? Can you also tell me if they are 15KHz horizontal frequency, or more modern 30/60?

I also would like to know if Alpine/your converter displays the 480 lines interlaced.

Thanks!

Edit: did use some research, it does seems like it's composite sync. But I wonder if it is 15KHz doing 480 lines interlaced.

This screen is rgbs. It will not show picture at 480i. The default input on the screen is 15khz and it has its own internal scaler. All alpine screens should have a rgbs input on them.

hek YES! I have actually been looking for this exact product... id def buy one of these bad boys and id even buy the alpine display for the sole reason that it supports the product you are developing... i have a feeling this is going to sell like hot cakes...

p.s will it work with the Alpine IVA-W202E Double Din Unit?
