Reply To: Is outputting to a frame/proper de-interlacing possible on the 1.6 hardware?

The OSSC was made at a time when this kind of open source, community-driven converter/scaler project was new. I assume it needed to be cheap and simple to get traction, which it has. People had been using commercial scalers for the longest time and finally with the OSSC we had an open source scaler that did really well for the price, and now that the entire idea of open source scalers has been normalized we’re seeing tons of products coming out like native HDMI mods and now the OSSC Pro which will have the features you desire, hopefully with minimal lag.

I use my OSSC in passthrough mode for 480i so I don’t get jitter, but it does add some lag and minor movement distortion at the TV side which has to do the deinterlacing itself. It’s still the best picture I have seen in a scaler, though I haven’t seen the RT5x. If you want a Framemeister alternative, look into the Extron DSC 301 HD and get a VGA to RCA adapter for the component in. Extron’s cable adapts to BNC which requires RCA adapter caps, but it works great even with the OSSC if you want multiple consoles without needing a switch, and the OSSC can be configured for independent first-check AV inputs per profile. Schmups forum has a thread and users who have the Extron software to configure and there are EDID editors out there if you find that useful, as I needed it to set a 1440x960p output EDID.
