This TV has a lot of potential. It has two separate analog video inputs, an output, an FM radio and an untested "talkover" button. It most likely was a security cam monitor in a previous life. No brand or productnumber has been identified on the device.
The TV when turned on. To the human eye this screen looks normal btw, without the diagonal line stuff created by the camera.
The back of the device where the connectors used to be
This little board is our best hope of getting anything useful out of this TV. Feel free to connect anything and see if it works
Mods:
- The connectors on the back have been broken out to allow for easy access to the connector points. the provided connectors (phone cable..) proved to be too esoteric.
- The internal speaker has been disconnected and can be used from the outside with the extended black and red cable
Current state: The TV is responsive to signals, but no clear image has yet been produced on the screen. It needs further testing and calibration to use it as a funky little monitor. In other words: Eis-T probably ruined the the thing but in hindsight it was 2,- well spent.
