Did you try DVI mode?
Hold FILTER button while plugging the usb power, then release after two LED blinks.Do you see a BLUE led when you power on the RT2xPro with the HDMI cable plugged in?
How long is you ‘cable management’ now?” I am unsure what that question means.
I mean, any HDMI extension cables or HDMI splitters that may mess with EDID?
As said, the RT2xPro checks if EDID was successfully received and only then checks for HDMI compliance.
If any of the two was unsuccessful it will fallback to HDMI WITH audio, so you should hear audio in any case.
Something in your setup successfully sends EDID with non-compliant HDMI EDID (DVI Only).
Your TV has to be at least in standby (not completely powered off from outlet) for the RT2xPro to properly read EDID.As for image quality, upgrade your setup to full SCART RGB.
Use RGB2Comp+RT2xPro from RetroTink, or OSSC.If you see a blue led flashing during start up, that means the RT2xPro enters a DVI mode (no audio), because your monitor reports DVI only.
The RT2xPro is default to HDMI mode (with audio), and it’s very unusual that a monitor reports DVI only if it is HDMI compatible.
The RT2xPro double checks that EDID has been read correctly and then checks for HDMI compliance,, if anything goes wrong, it will default to HDMI with audio.
Try to plug the power first, then plug the HDMI cable.What is your TV, Monitor, or other display?
How long is you ‘cable management’ now?
Also, do not flash the firmware endlessly, only once is enough if it was successful.The RT2x processes the image like a CRT would, we’ve tested this multiple times with Sony CRTs, BVM/PVM, etc.
If you don’t see the same effect with your CRT it is because you compensated for that with your CRT adjustments,, and your flat panel LCD Composite input has Auto Gain turned on like most modern flat panel TVs and obviously will not look like the RT2x.I think we can have a solution for this type of problem too.
@Mike, you have mail.8 way rca switch you say…
Can you please try connecting directly?Also, can you please be more specific if this saturation happens with ALL your PAL consoles or only the Mega Drive, and whether you see the same without the 8-way RCA switch?
First, regarding resolution.
The RT2xPro will switch the HDMI output resolution according to PAL/NTSC.
Color Bars are always NTSC (480p), PAL consoles are (576p), NTSC consoles are 480p.Regarding PAL color saturation;
PAL cables have additional 75ohm resistors in the cable, so a darker luma is expected and behaves like a CRT would, so the user adjusted for that in the old CRT.
In your case it seems that your TV over-saturates the HDMI input PAL signal, but not in Composite input, since it affect all your PAL consoles even PS2 which it should not (I have tested multiple PAL consoles).
Did you try to lower Saturation and bring Contrast up in your TV menu with PAL HDMI signal?Hurray!
Thank you marqs.Problem is, I’m on Windows 7 and all the tutorial is for linux.
I’m waiting to test the 3x 400p mode for almost 30 days now.
I bought a USB Blaster two days ago hoping it will make the process simpler, I already have Quartus.
When the USB Blaster arrives, I’ll start a new thread.
Though I see everything is linux commands which I ave zero clue about.ebay seller?
This support forum is for OSSC bought from VGP only.Try to press the “TV” button on the top left of the remote.
If that fails read here:
http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php?title=OSSC#Remote_control_setupWhy the use of words like “harsh” and “glaring flaw”? Very poetic…
As already said, this is what all NES/Famicom consoles output and TVs usually mask/crop the edges of the image (called overscan area),, nothing to do with the RetroTInk2x.
Exactly the opposite from what you said about “signal preservation”, the RT2x preserves the original signal and does not crop it.
Also, captured video is edited and cropped so the content creator will remove this overscan area and readjust the aspect ratio.You failed to mention what console,, all consoles? What’s “every game I play”?
We do not know if it’s deinterlaced because you did not mention what console.
If it is NES then it’s completely normal, that’s how the NES ‘GPU’ outputs video and on a TV this column is masked (not visible).* Your images links do not work.
* How harsh is the white line, very harsh or mildly harsh?Thank you very much marqs, can’t wait to test this.
What do you mean “pixel repetition if 0.5x samplerate is used”?
I assume nothing currently using above 170MHz except the 449p Line3x mode, does that need any FPGA Logic?
By FPGA Logic do you mean scanlines and other post processing?
Isn’t halving the samplerate for processing negates the whole purpose of Line3x in 449p?
Sorry for all the questions, I am intrigued and like to learn about the OSSC as much as possible.Another question:
In 720×400 I have 900 H.samplerate, in Line2x mode and with Upsample2x effectively sampling 1800 times, but with Upsample2x disabled it samples exactly 900 times and doubles that using math, if I’m not mistaken…
Does that mean in Line3x, Upsample2x will be sampling 4000 times or will it be disabled for Line3x? I assume the latter. -
