gbs 8200 same function as an extron emoria downscaling

Post by DAVI22 »

I was reading the extensive post gbs 8200
viewtopic.php?p=1399305
... I delivered use an online translator I do not clarify very well really this does the same thing as an extron emotia or take a 480p selal and convert it into a 240p without lag or delay or has some drawbacks
Is it the same but much cheaper?
Thanks in advance..

I don't have an emotia so don't know how it compares but can confirm this downscales 480i/480p to 240p. Bob form RetroRGB said it was the fastest downscaler available at half a frame of lag.

but Bob doesn't always have the whole spectrum in view. The DVDO iScan units (that are capable of downscaling) are equally fast.

I appreciate the responses ...
Could you be more precise for me to understand it?
Is there a half frame of lag with gbs8200, otherwise it does the same (downscaling 480p to 240p) as an emotia, a uvc or a mimo?

in general, yes, that's what it does.

What I don't know: 480p component input works fine (right?), but 480p RGB is still problematic? And I don't know what algorithm is used. Averaging odd and even lines (1+2, ...), averaging even and odd lines (2+3, ...), discarding every other line (like the MIMO) ?

Hello,

Sorry coming to your discuss, but I have a question.

I'm looking for a downscaler, with output signal in 240p too (as many people :).

You talk about DVDO iScan can downscal.
Do you the references of these special units?

In advance, than you!

Check this thread. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=53807

But be aware that only the iScan HD and HD+ will properly perform this task.

Thank you Fudoh,
I'll read, and pay attention for a HD or HD+. :)
