Ultimarc Arcade Monitor Video Amplifier Pinball 2000. Improves video quality on pinball 2000 pinball machines with old worn out monitors. This has an added cable going from the amp to the monitor, taken from a pinball 2000 game with a wells gardner monitor, not sure if the ducksan monitor is wired the same as the wells gardner. Taken out of working game, used but working, sold as-is, no returns.Installation:
Identify the R,G,B input wires to the monitor. These are often actuallycoloured Red,Green,Blue.
Identify the ground wire to the monitor, and composite sync.
Cut these wires and strip. Connect the monitor R,G,B, Sync and Groundwires to the "OUTPUT" terminals of the amp.
The amp comes with a cable to connect to the VGA card.
Almost all monitors, even those which have separate V and H syncinputs, will work with composite sync (generally connected to the Hinput) A few monitors may need separate H and V sync though. In thiscase the syncs can be separated by doing the following:
Identify the location on the PCB marked "CUT for H/V"
Cut through the short section of track between the two "half-moon"shapes.
Connect the monitor vertical sync to the connection (white terminalblock) marked SYNC
Connect the monitor horizontal sync to the connection (white terminalblock) which is unmarked.
Wiring to a 5 volt supply This step is NOT needed for ArcadeVGAor any new VGA card. This is only needed if your video card does notoutput 5 volts on pin 9 of it's connector. All currently-produced cardsdo send 5 volts on this pin so this step is only needed with oldercards such as ATI Rage 128.)
Locate a 5 volt supply, for example from the header connector on theI-PAC (see I-PAC page for pinout) or from the PC game port or a drive power connector etc.Don't use a mains adaptor, these do not give a stable enough output.Connect the ground from the supply to the GND white terminal blockconnection.
