Occasional Black Screen/Loss of Sync with 480i Explicitly

[callumbal]

I’ve had occasional (every 1-2 hours) Black Screens/Loss of Sync with 480i Explicitly.

Sometimes it cuts the audio and the feed to my capture card, other times it doesn’t. This does not happen on 480p or 240p content, line multiplication or no.

What settings could I possibly alter to improve sync and remove these blackouts? I speedrun video games and it is very important I maintain 480i (forced 480p in games impacts loads and such). This issue really is such a massive downer and has ruined a lot of my runs so any feedback at all would be very much appreciated.

You can try freezing video mode detection by e.g. pressing profile load button but without selecting a profile once you have a 480i game running (assuming it doesn’t switch to 240p anywhere). That rules the possibility of potential garbage status data from video ADC affecting processing.
