Title: DE-15 Breakout Cable For 788T
Post by: blee421 on December 11, 2008, 05:13:49 PM: I spoke with Sound Devices and they do not make a breakout cable for the D-sub connector.Has anyone else found one.

I came up with this.

That cable in your link is a VGA cable for video.

So new you might have to make it.
Why didn't they use a standard D-sub25?

I am sure somebody like trew audio or posthorn would be more than happy to whip something up.

edit:

Well it looks like SD went w/ a unique 15 pin cable that looks like a VGA cable design.

That cable would doubt fully work - it is designed to connect a VGA graphics card to a Composite Analog monitor -> Like used on the old Sun/SGI workstation monitors in the late 80's - mid 90's. So I would be extremely surprised if the pin out is remotely the same.

Get one custom made as the others say above

very different, i think only the 5/6 AES output would work but some of the other connections may be shorted and damage the 788
