Stream Video on a Sony BVM using RGB-PI
About a year ago I came into possession of a Sony BVM. I use it primarily with my Super Famicon, however, with the release of the Snyder Cut in 4:3, I became interested in using it also to watch video content.
Raspberry Pi & RGB-Pi
The easiest (and most affordable) solution to me was a Pi together with RGB-Pi to connect to my BVM through RGB.
Setting up a Desktop Environment on RGB Pi OS
After putting RGB-Pi OS onto my SD Card, I’ve retrofitted it with a desktop environment by executing the following commands. (The login is pi/rgbpi, You can get the shell by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lxde-core xserver-xorg xinitOnce installed, the graphical interface can be started using the startx. I then enabled SSH / VNC using raspi-config.
It was time to grab some popcorn and watch quality 90s content in glorious 4:3 without any black bars! (I tested both VLC & Google Chrome Streams)
