Hi guys,
since a customer of mine wanted a TV-Out cable, I made an entire batch (6 pcs).
One for the customer, one for me, so 4 cables are for sale now.
Specs:
Length: abt. 5 meters
Connectors: Pandora EXT connector on one side (of course), 3x RCA plugs (="Cinch" in Europe)
Mode: Only Composite, no S-Video
Weight: Only abt. 100 grams. That is only abt. 1/3 of the weight of my older cables!
I thought, in order to avoid the situation we had the last times when I sold such cables (that some people read about availability only when they were already sold out) I'd do it differently now.
I put one cable up on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290893167857
(if you use another ebay region, such as ebay.co.uk, ebay.pt or whatever, just enter the auction ID into the search field: 290893167857)
If this turns out to be a good way, I'll also offer the other cables on ebay this way.
Note:
I will only get 7€ plus shipping of the highest bid. This covers my expenses for the parts.
All the rest, no matter how much, will go to ED as a donation for the Pandora project.
These cables are a bit more expensive than the older ones I made, because I used another cable. It's much more lightweight and flexible, hence doesn't mechanically stress the Pandora's TV-Out port so much and is much more comfortable in your luggage.
It also has a disadvantage: It only has Composite TV-Out, no S-Video.
However, at least on my old tube TV that I used to test the cables, this does not make much of a difference.
Note that the official TV-Out cables will also be available in - as ED announced - about 7 weeks.
Those will be much shorter and basically be only an adapter, that you use to connect your own A/V cable.
My cable does not have all of the official cable's connectors (Composite, S-Video, audio out, audio in), but only audio out and Composite. On the other hand, it's an all-in-one solution for those that prefer a lightweight but still long composite cable.
This is the cable I used as a basis for the TV-Out cables.
I cut off all plugs, cut that 10m cable in the middle, and made two 5m TV-out cables from one of those.
Here are some images, because last time I was asked a few times, how I make those molded plugs. These pictures should explain it. The transparent plastic is taken from some packaging of an electronic item. It's thin enough to be bent and folded easily.
