I’m not sure what you mean by “What is your perfect 480i”. I’m getting 480i output some of the time, but alternating fields is intermittent. That is, it’s putting out an interlaced picture, but it’s putting out only even or odd fields, not both. The default video timings produced this 100% of the time. I see, the lack of a flicker filter could be an issue for me, however this is a problem that doesn’t just happen with specific patterns, it’s clearly a sync problem.
And I do appreciate the comment regarding signal output levels. My current Y/C encoder (RetroCastle with AD724) doesn’t have any such controls, and I’m currently using the S-Video output. Do you know of a particular known good encoder, that has such controls? I don’t want to have to alter display levels, as I use actual old video game consoles and tapes, which have the expected signal levels and don’t want to have to change it every time I change inputs.
And yes, I’m aware that the RetroCastle adapter might actually be the issue, hence why I’m asking for suggestions of other adapters (beyond just needing a way to adjust the output levels). Also, I do need both S-Video and Composite outputs.
There is no indication on the OLED display at all, nor the “information” OSD. The source I was using was AV4 HDMI, but the same issue occurs with the test pattern in 480i. When it bounces back and forth, there’s no cut out at all. It’s also not a perfect 480i, it’s more jittery.
As far as AV output, I’ve used the Extra AV Output board, or HDMI to several different HDMI->VGA adapters. Finally, I’m using the Retrocastle adapter to adapt to the TV itself.
