Got a present delivered in my driveway, and it's definitely TV shaped. A good indication of weight is the fact it's strapped down on a palette.

A Sony PVM-2530 packaged up snugly in cardboard, plastic wrap, styrofoam.  It's on a very nice palette as well sitting on the edge of my driveway.

Mit den WH-1000XM6 hat Sony offensichtlich wieder abgeliefert. Die sollen ja deutlich besser sein als die Vorgänger. Das ANC soll mal wieder deutlich besser und damit das Beste was man bekommen kann sein. Da komme ich ja wieder richtig in Versuchung.

I think this will work out, still need to fix the silkscreen and explain the settings switches somewhere on the PCB.

A 3D view of the CMPTR to RGB breakout PCB.  The top edge has BNC connections for red, blue, green, and sync signals.  The right edge has three DIP switch settings along with a mono audio RCA jack, and the bottom is a DB-25 connector to connect to the Sony PVM.

A quick schematic for a CMPTR breakout PCB. This really only handles RGB, but should get the job done for the CMPTR connector on the PVM-2530.

So after some thought, I think I'm gonna break out all of the signals coming out of the CMPTR connector. Shouldn't really increase the cost of the device, and it might be useful for troubleshooting if you could inline the board so I'd have to add another DB-25 connector.

Took the front frame off to secure the little "handles" on the front of the PVM, didn't take too long and fortunately they just needed to be tightened up. I will need to clean out the interior of the PVM as it's accumulated quite a bit of dust and crap internally. It's not horrible, but it's not great either. Cleared off a spot for the PVM to live in the office as well.
