Hi Guy - no the output from the converter only outputs Video and Audio L/R - I think as the TV is getting quite old, I'll probably look at replacing it in due course, thanks though for the replies.

That's the path that most of us go sooner or later. However, I still stick to my old Avant 32 RF because it is such a beautiful furniture - much better than any flat screen that I have seen. But it is all a matter of taste, I guess. I mean, B&O has done fabulous flat panels, but the old CRTs were in their time way more ahead of their competition in terms of style.

I'd still like to know, how you put that solution of jordanius to practice. Most of us will use some AV processing machine and I'm not too sure whether those are able to put out 15khz.

Totally agree about the Avant - my old one was better than my BV8 at most things other than displaying text from Apple TV and not having an HDMI socket. 

maybe this can help you:

@manbearpig - You can generate a true 15khz RGB signal with a raspberry pi by adding two lines to the config.txt file as described here

I see, but that's a rather special solution then, isn't it? It only allows for a particular source and most of us will run different setups with different sources, but still needing such converters. My source is the Beosystem 3. With that, the solution apparently doesn't work then?

Hi all, I am too finally looking at this. Really cant bring myself around to getting rid of my Beovision 5 at home so am moving this to my office but need to bring it inline with 2020.

So is anyone aware of a YouTube video on installing a Raspberry pi to a Beovision and what products would i need to purchase? It would be so much easier to watch and follow rather than trying to do this from someones written experienced knowledge?

Appreciate your help.

Alvin

Hello jordanius,

Many thanks for your post, it is very interesting, I just purchase a fantastic Beovision 5 only with scart and for now I use it with a simple HDMI to scart converter (https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01AO0XC7I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

This is correct but could be better, of course, I was unable to find a HDMI to RGB scart and I will certainly get what you suggest

Hi Daniel,

Actually, this solution did not work, especially the part with Umsa scart adapter, this item require 15 khz as vga input and was unable to find out how to get it, I still have the adapter and I can sell it :-)

I also purchase a HD Fury 3 (HDMI to VGA + sound) which did not work properly but I was able to return it.

I thought I had an alternative solution when I found a adapter 5 RCA (RGB + sound) -> Scart but the adapter from Conrad did not work also....

At the end, I used a hdmi --> S-video + sound which is better that CVBS, it just require to use the beovision with camrecorder input.
With that Beovision 5 is now just fantastic and I was lucky to get it for a very good price!
