Probably just one, as swapping both you’d end up with (electrically) the same thing you started with.

That what I was thinking but had to ask the stupid question. 
Yes, just modifying one end of the connector.

You can use a PinSub kit to get a 3.5mm audio out on the SPIKE2 board. Makes it easy moving game-to-game. If you want to get the audio over the HDMI, splice the end of an normal 3.5mm audio cable to a JST 4-pin connector and connect it from the PinSub to the LVDS board. (The audio pins on the Spike board output speaker-level audio, so you don’t want to connect it directly to the pins without the PinSub or something else to convert it to line-level)
I’ve had success capturing the 1366x768 with the regular CamLink and the Magewell Quad HDMI card. IIRC, my HD60S did not like it as is, but you can use an HDMI upscaler if you want to get a more agreeable resolution.

Edit: Reseating everything fixed my issues. Working great with camlink now.
I bought a camlink 4K and it is almost working. It still doesn’t seem to work at 1366, it is running at 1360. But it is displaying something, which is progress.
What it does display is very yellow. I have not tried playing with settings too much to see if this is possible to fix, or is something like the cloud space or colour range is wrong. Would appreciate feedback if someone actually got the camlink 4k working

So the board I bought that was recommended in this thread arrived today, and even though I specifically asked for 720p, the board says SLH 1080p Audio v20 on it…
I also didn’t get any cables, just this board pictured… so I need to order more things? Am I hosed with the 1080p board or can I make it work? @GeekGamerTV

What is printed on the circuit board doesn’t matter, it will say S.LH1080P Audio v20.
My static free bag had a big S8 written on it in marker indicating it was the single 8 version. The faq says the difference between the 2 versions is a resister, but I am sure how much I trust what is written.
As I understand it its a software change on the board. Try it and see what happens…
Ive found the startech the most flexible when connecting to strange resolution - it works with CGC remake games.

Did anyone figure out the right cables to buy so we don’t have to repin them? I have zero skills in that department so hoping I can just buy a cable and plug it in, shifted by a few pins or whatnot… I bought the 30p one someone linked here from ali express but now I’m worried they won’t work from all this talk…
@HeadRushLV did you get your cables yet? The ones they linked look correct. The ones with “extension” in their name are not.
I believe I just bought those
So hopefully they work…
I’m so sad I messed up and didn’t get the “bundle” when I bought my board… now I get to wait another 2 weeks ha
I believe all boards are printed with that (1080p) marking but it comes down to the programming and if it was the correct one sent to you.
You will need at minimum 1 LVDS cable as described in this thread to connect from the Stern board to the extracting board (assuming your board will pass the signal like mine did).
I guess I got lucky that mine came with cables and the extra ones I purchased didn’t work. (I need to try to change the pinout on those).
Let me know if you need more help man!

I found a cheaper source for the board. When ordering say you want the Single 8 version. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32981189930.html

Can’t get it to work with the black diamond 4 port card - think DeadFlip has same issue.
Well… my cables came from aliExpress, and along with the board from them I can say I am now able to convert in to HDMI and see it on a monitor. Hooray!
I ran in to a little snag with trying to record it in OBS though, through my capture card. No matter which resolution I select (and it won’t let me enter a custom one ), the video will load and attempt to play but then freeze immediately. This is on my Macbook.
When I try it on my Windows machine, it works flawlessly (although kind of strange because it seems to let me choose whatever resolution I feel like and it just sort of gives the same thing no matter what).
I think it’s a Mac issue rather than a capture card issue. Unless someone can confirm they’ve got this to work with a mac?
EDIT: I unplugged and plugged some things back in and now it’s working on my Mac… spooky

I don’t do anything with streaming so this may be irrelevant, but ColorDMD just released a new screen that has a DisplayPort interface.
