Also, has anything been said about whether these cables will properly horizontally center Dreamcast’s 480p video? Dreamcast 480p output is typically shifted to the right with every RGB solution I've ever tried on my Sony monitors (Toro, Retro Access, & Sega). My thought is that YPbPr typically handles resolutions and sync in a more standard way than RGB so I’m hoping the horizontal centering issue is solved.
Maybe I have false hopes though that YPbPr Component Video will solve the Dreamcast's 480p issues, but I started down this line of thinking because my HD Fury X3 does a great job of converting HDMI to RGBHV or YPbPr, but...
- When the HDF3 is converting to RGBHV the output inherits any Horizontal Shift issues from the source.
- When the HDF3 is converting to YPbPr the output is always centered perfectly and fixes any Horizontal Shift issues of the source.
I never hear of anyone complaining that YPbPr video isn’t perfectly centered and I think that HDRV has mentioned many times that YPbPr doesn't have the sync "issues" that can commonly plague RGB connections.
As an aside this is how I currently have my Dreamcast hooked up... I'm using thefoo.83's Dreamcast to VGA cable connected directly to a dedicated Extron RGB 192v so I can adjust H-SHIFT and compensate for the Dreamcast VGA's serration issues with sync. The solution actually works really well, but I'd just like to simplify and get back more space on my shelves by not needing to use an Extron RGB box.
