@orihalcon8693 Жыл бұрын
Highly recommend putting a straight zip tie between the side square holes of the SCART connector directly back to the Component outs where there are also holes in between the RCA jacks. Makes it so that when you pull the scart connector out that it is braced by the component connectors on the opposite side which transfer the pulling force to the top acrylic. Kind of hard to describe, but you essentially have the head of the zip tie at the component side with a short section of cut zip tie to hold it there and that looks like a "T". Then you just cut the head off of another zip tie and pull the tie tight going from the scart back to the component to secure and do that on each side.

That was hilarious at times, i had a good laugh. Thanks :) I went straight on and bought one of these, i use RGB on a big CRT projector for almost everything except rotated shooters, which i use a big Panasonic Tau Giga rear projection CRT that i lay on it's side. This will save me having to add the VGA input back into that set (was available in Europe apparently, but not here) It sure looks to me like it will easily be good enough for the job on a rear projection CRT, and for the sake of $33 Australian Dollars if it isn't, it's next to no money spent these days.

Greetings my friend! I wanted to tell you that I was going to buy the retrotink rgb to comp but when I saw this video a few months ago I decided to go for this cheaper transcorder since you gave it a very good review and apparently it worked well for you. I built a pc to be able to emulate with calamity drivers but I got to know RGBUNTU and decided to use this system for crt emulation. It turns out that since I started testing the system, the transcorder adds a kind of noise to my image, specifically, they are horizontal lines that move like a cup of soda (very similar to when recording at 30 fps on a CRT screen) I thought that It could be the cable, so I bought a 5x5 retrovision hd cable and it gives me the same interference, I tried 3 different crts and the problem continues: c.

I tried doing that and I felt very stupid: c since it was solved in 80%! It is a very big advance since I spent a long time without understanding what it was due to, I thought they were the video cables. Even so, I couldn't find a cell phone charger like the Samsung you have. I tried with a usb port of my ps2 slim to see if it worked and there it looks 97% better, almost perfect. I will also check the solder joints as you mentioned but apparently the problems were the USB ports of my PC. Could you tell me the specifications of your Samsung charger? I have a 5V - 3A one and it doesn't look perfect, I tried another generic one I found and it's 5V - 0.85 A and that one looks a little better.

question does Cheap 240p RGB does run 240p over component tv i have sony pvm with component in i have pc with emulator i want to play on crt tv

You would have to use an old AMD video card with analog output and use custom drivers to output a 15kHz 240p rgb signal out VGA. Then VGA to this transcoder, then it would work but its somewhat complicated to setup

So u cant conect dc vga to crt because it is only a passive adapter? But if you use dreamcast scart to this adapter it will work ? I have a philips crt with rca and ypbpr but no svideo so im stuck with rca for the dc.. :(
@LameGaming Жыл бұрын
I dont think this transcoder can take in 480p and put out 480i. The DC vga is 480p only so the transcoder would put out 480p ypbpr which a standard def crt cannot accept. If you can output 480i rgb from the DC av port then you would just need a DC scart cable and it should be good to go with this transcoder. I have only used my DC with vga to a pc crt so I havnt tested anything from the av port

@@gabnrami If the DC will output 480i scart from the av port then it should work. I havnt personally tested this as I dont have a scart cable for my dc and Im not super knowledgeable on the dc. Id ask on the dreamcast subreddit about the scart cable but I assume if the dc scart cable connects to the av port then it should be 480i and should work, i just cant say 100% it will work because I havnt tried it.

hi mate just have a question, what is the extron RGB amp for?, would it work just VGA right out of the mister IO board to VGA in on the Ali express transcoder?
@LameGaming Жыл бұрын
The rgb distribution amp is just something I needed for my setup since I have like 8 tubes in the room, Its not needed for this transcoder at all, I should of mentioned that. Im curious why you would need it with mister though since mister can output ypbpr without the need of a transcoder.

@@LameGaming ok thanks yes I understand now, Im pretty sure you can just go from VGA to component with a VGA to component cable from the mister dire t to the CRT but one of my sets I'm not happy with the colour accuracy and this transcoder fixes the colour issue but letting me adjust individual colours. If I can adjust gamma settings with the mister I guess I wouldn't need it though?

@@danielnicholson6174 Yep, you can set mister to output ypbpr and just use a cheap passive vga to component cable from amazon. If your colors are off I would just throw 240p test suite on your mister, load the color bars and get in the service menu of the crt and adjust the color drive levels but yeah this might be a work around if you cant get into service menu for some reason

@Lame Gaming oh snap! So then what would be the best method of playing the DC on a CRT in the most "HD" way as possible ? I have a Sony Trinitron KV XA29M30A
@LameGaming Жыл бұрын
@@kamerynhaynes7076 Honestly DC looks fantastic on a VGA crt monitor in 480p, would definitely be worth grabbing a free one while you still can if you play DC alot. Thats the only way Ive used mine so not sure what your options are if you must use a standard def (15kHz) crt tv.... Probably av out port, if theres no compone t out with the av port then s-video is the next best option.

Not sure what system/setup you have but you would have to output a 15kHz signal from the pc. This usually invloves custom drivers like crt-emudriver
