I recently made some RGBtoHDMI boards, based on the design by hoglet & IanS:

These are working great, but the one thing that I don't particularly like is the ribbon to DIN connector. So, instead I've made a little interface board. This interface board still connects to RGB2HDMI using a short ribbon cable, but it's got the standard IDC connectors on both ends, instead of the DIN plug on one end. I might see if I can integrate this into a case, along with RGBtoHDMI:
I've previously modified some of my beebs, and replaced the 6 pin DIN RGB socket with an 8 pin version, so the audio can be routed out the RGB socket. This works great when connecting the beeb to a TV via a suitably fabricated DIN8 to SCART lead:

Whilst an 6 pin socket can fit into the PCB footprint of an 8 pin socket, a 6 pin DIN plug will not fit into an 8 pin socket, since the pin positions are slightly different. This means I need to use a special 8 pin to 6 pin converter, when connecting one of these modified beebs to a standard cub monitor or to RGBtoHDMI (when using the standard ribbon cable / 6 pin DIN plug arrangement). So, I've designed this new interface PCB so it can accept either standard 6 pin DIN socket or 8 pin 8 DIN socket. If using the 8 pin DIN socket, the audio can then be routed to an audio jack that can be installed next to the DIN socket (since RGBtoHDMI currently doesn't do any audio encoding):
I'll have a few spare PCBs once they arrive. Bare PCB available for the price of shipping to anyone who's interested. I will also be able to supply them pre-built, and with a ribbon to connect to RGBtoDHMI, for a small additional charge.
