RE: Can a sgi system (sync on green) do vga>hdmi
The biggest issue I’ve found with trying HDMI adapters is pretty much inline with what Weblacky is getting at. Most SGIs push out SoG regardless of the VGA adapter you use. The only system I know off hand where you can disable SoG is the Onyx2. That’s done via software.

The long and short of it is that the handful of VGA to HDMI adapters I tried ended up being washed out or green in color due to what I can only imagine is the SoG signal making it’s way through.

Lastly, I haven’t found an HDMI adapter that can support all the different formats that SGIs natively output. So that’s one other thing to keep in mind: whether the adapter supports less than 1920x1080.
