Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm working on an interesting video project but am unsure if it's doable. Hopefully this is the right subforum..
I have a piece of industrial machinery and I'm trying to mirror its LCD display panel so I can send it to a video projector. I'm trying to use the machine for a class I teach, and being able to easily display it for everyone would be invaluable!!
Whether I get it to work with a DVI or VGA or anything else, not important...but I'm not sure if I can figure it out. I don't have a problem physically splicing wires if needed. Anyway I checked the datasheet for the LCD display (linked below) it calls for 3.3volts...seems DVI likes to run from 5v? I don't have much experience with monitors.
At one point I worked at a facility that was in the process of converting all their machines so they could be remotely monitored in a similar way as the mirroring I'm trying to perform. I'm not sure how they did it though.
I took apart one of the control panels to take some pictures...
Here's the datasheet for the machine's display: http://beyondinfinite.com/lcd/Library/LG-Philips/LB150X02-TL01.pdf (of interest is page 9)
Has anybody ever done anything like this? I'm welcome to any feedback...even if it's that I'm an idiot and shouldn't bother trying...
