I believe you have to set JEIDA and dual 8: LVDS Adapter - Geekworm Wiki (pin 1 and 2 closed and pin 3 and 4 open). This is what my boards have and they did not work out of the box with the default shipping shortening.
Edit: Also know that the Geek Worm boards are super unreliable. I bought three at a time to be guaranteed that one would work satisfactory. We all use hovpinball.com LVDS to DVI daughterboards today.
Absolutely 100% not the case. Userr error or cheap cables.
Stern is VESA/single 8 - anything else wonāt work. Alot of capture cards wont take a VESA signal.
The latest geekworm boards have jumpers for you to change this. I have bought well over 30 of these boards and had one dead one. With HQ cables they work great considering they were not designed for this use case - JP2 was one game I had trouble with but again just decent cables and routing of the cable made it solid. I use the HOV boards now although thankfully spike 3 has HDMI with audio so less need now!
I use the same brand HDMI cables for everything. Iāve had one of those go bad out the 40 miles of HDMI cables Iāve bought over the years.
If no one else have seen the level of angst I have with the geekworm boards I got a bad batch, twice. Iām more leaning against the sub-optimal design (and cable lengths) for what we want that thing to do. A few shimmies and shoves later, the board blanks (not the display) and a power cycle later, the board comes back to life without touching anything else.
Iām set for life with the HOVs now, zero issues, same cables, FYI.
Good luck rendering audio from the HDMI output ā HDMI capture synced with the audio from the speakers leaking into your talent mic. You might as well capture the audio over BT. āCool reverb you get there bro! Yah, itās SPIKE3, itās ah-sum.ā
I agree, I will run an audio extractor to get the audio out of the hdmi on Spike 3.
Going over the bridge for water. Both SPIKE2 and SPIKE3 has line-out on CN5, itās the same analog signal going to the speakers, you feed that directly into your mixer. Since I know you have the 802VLZ4, itās the AUX return on that one and donāt forget to pick up a ground loop isolator to get rid of potential hiss/hum.
Iām doing that today with the AUX out already, just turn the speakers down when Iām streamingā¦
Great! I havenāt took a look much at the Spike 3 system yet, wasnt aware they still had a line-out on the board itself. Also I believe the games after Star Wars will have the full Spike 3 upgrades (including cabinet changes) so there is a chance they might add a 3.5mm port up front as well. Otherwise, yes either a cable for the line-out or adding a cheap headphone kit should do the trick. 
Thatās the moment we learn that āline-outā is connected internally to the same fader as the speakers. 
No it doesnāt appear to be!
There is no 3.5mm port.
The pins on my board are not number 1-4, they are labeled sw1 and sw2. Iāll have to snap a pic next time Iām at my location.
The fact that this product exists makes me think line out on spike2 depends on the volume level of the game and thus not a true line out https://www.pinsound.org/shop/en/64-subwoofer-line-out-stern-spike.html
I think itās basically the same as the headphone connector next to it but doesnāt recognize it as headphones
Spike3 hdmi port does however have true line audio that doesnāt depend on game volume Not sure about the line out connector on spike3
interesting thing in Jackās last video on the Stern channel, he said spike 3 is backwards compatible with spike 2 games, so that means you could upgrade the āMPUā (or whatever its called) to a Spike 3 and get the HDMI out.
Not sure how much one of those S3 boards is going to run, but itās a cool option.
Itās AUX level in terms of voltage but the volume of CN5 is controlled by the main game volume. Itās very handy for external speakers/subs as you only have one volume knob to twist. Capturing this audio at a sensible volume on the game will require a line-level mixer with plenty of oomph to twist on the gain, which is uncommon for line mixers. This is how CN5 sounds: https://youtu.be/vFQqTDyMUJw
Thanks for providing this option for those who need it but this will create an echo effect for most of us. Game sound from the speakers (analog) will leak into the player microphone and the sound being captured over HDMI (digital) will have a slight delay. Playing with the game audio in headphones will eliminate this problem of course.
It looks like the Pinsound CN5 connector will fit SPIKE3. Iām eagerly awaiting my game to test it.
You can just turn the master volume to very low or 0 if you want, the hdmi audio should still produce audio. Or you can use a headphone kit so you can hear the audio, while using hdmi to capture the audio. Saves some OBS setup and cords and things
For the folks wondering, @pahuffman in particular IIRC. I upgraded my CineMaster 4K today to check out the new firmware with H.265/HEVC support. Slightly better quality but the odd frame stuttering still remain. https://youtu.be/0kfZ3578VwQ
Thanks for the heads up. I was watching pbj_pinballjones stream on Twitch recently. Theyāve somehow managed to get a perfect 60fps out of their rig. Anybody know how to get in touch with them? They donāt have whispers turned on. The feed looks great. Iāve never seen a dropped frame.
It seems to me like the multiviewer to NDI streams look the most consistent if you can deal with the delay. Iām guessing they have something similar. Are we just waiting for the price of the Yolobox Extreme to come down or what?
Twitch says this is 720p60, so the stuttering weāre all swearing at isnāt the Accsoonās fault but OBS?
The NDI delay isnāt that much of a problem if you can isolate your commentators somewhat. Itās when you go SRT the delay start to feel really inconvenient.
Itās too much for tournament streaming but the idea is there. I definitely want to get out of the NDI business but it seems hopeless. A smaller Yolo, Magewell Director or an OBSBot talent is probably in my future but what I have now works pretty well, there are just so many boxes. I like the Director as it has redundant battery slots and able to connect an external battery. The Magewell APIs are easy to understand as well, so writing an OBS plugin to do what you want is quite trivial.
