Framemeister and 480i Flickering

Post by DuxPrime »

Up until now, I've mostly been using the Framemeister for 240p sources over RGB SCART. However, I recently acquired a GameCube and connected it via S-video (until I can get ahold of an HDMI solution) as well as a PS2 over SCART. In both cases, there seems to be a faint flickering in large areas of flat color.

I'm pretty certain that the issue isn't with either the display or the cable for two reasons:
  • When I play PS1 games on the PS2 (240p output), the flickering doesn't happen.
  • When I connect the PS2 to my TV directly via component, the flickering doesn't happen.
I find it hard to believe that my TV's deinterlacing is better than the Framemeister's. Does anyone have any suggestions for settings that I might need to set to eliminate flickering with 480i sources?

Make sure you have IMAGE MODE set to NATURAL if you want the better deinterlacing.

Perhaps you're seeing the noise that the Framemeister sometimes introduces? If you go into HDMI_Set and set Deep Color to "on," it may reduce the noise somewhat.
