Does anyone know what's inside a DVI cable? Or where to get it bulk on a roll?
I've got 2 projects where existing customers are replacing their old CRTs with new DLPs. I'd love to connect them with DVI, and I could fish a new line to both but not with the giant end on it. There's already RGBHV lines in place but after looking at a pinout I doubt it could be adapted.
Any info appreciated.

Try Pacific cable. They had some diagrams illustrating the connectors and different flavors of DVI

Doug, check your e-mail, I sent you a pinout sheet. Anyone else who might need it, let me know! Here's a pretty comprehensive link of various pinouts for the tech/av industry [Link: networktechinc.com]avdude

Thanks guys. Pacific Cable was a goldmine... they have a photopage of how they make the cables, and one page shows a cross-section of the cable. Pretty cool. [Link: pacificcable.com][Link: pacificcable.com]

Why not just go with a Dwin TV-3? Great projector with a seperate processor. Their DVI hookup to the projector is only 3/4 in diamater. They make it available up to 50 ft.

A lot of time & pain went into choosing the right projectors for these jobs, I'm not about to reconsider them.
As for soldering, I can do it but I don't dig it... especially away from my bench.
Who knows, we may just keep the RGBHV hookups... but it's an opportunity to venture into the unknown. Either way, I know a lot more now than I did this morning. I don't like blind hookups, I like to know what I'm sending, and this thread cleared a lot of that up.
Thanks all,
- Doug @ HomeWorks

Another option is to convert the DVI to fiber optic and then back again at the projector. This means pulling a much smaller cable. Of course you will add cost for the converters. Check out http://www.gefen.com for the parts.

Q. Dose panel crafters or liberty offer a DVI wall plate with screw terminals on the inside and a female out? This is how I have done some jobs with 15pin vga. no soldering. I havent looked for this it may not work, DVI can be difficult.
May help
