If I change the options stops flashing but can not get clear image or video input SCART RGB.
Do you know any other possibility?
I've seen your page, if I buy a DVDO (conect XRGB-3 to DVDO Edge) solves anything?
Thank you.
no, don't worry. But scaling in the XRGB (= using B0 mode) adds 2 frames of lag.Out of interest though, is there generally a problem with input lag when the monitor has to scale the input to its native resolution?

He's busy with exams until July though!Moosmann's first choice in Germany. I'll send you a PM with his email adress.
LPF should generally be on whenever you use B1Finally Low Pass Filter, very important to 3DO Arcade PCB mod.
True, which reminds me I have yet to test it in B0 mode. Guess I'll give it a shot. I wonder if those ugly bars will appear again using this setting.BuckoA51 wrote:LPF should generally be on whenever you use B1
As far as I know in the XRGB3's case the only pins that need to be connected are Red, Green, Blue and Sync. You might also want Audio L and R too of course. The XRGB3 seems to totally ignore the other pins. On a standard Euro SCART cable there would normally be two more to signal to the TV that RGB was present and for selecting aspect ratio. That only makes 8 out of the 20 so it's quite possible that some would not be present.The SCART cable I'm using now also mysteriously is missing several pins. I guess they aren't used by the SNES?
I think that's a bug. You are using B1 mode right? If I remember correctly you can switch to PC-mode no problem when using B0 mode. It's very annoyingRock Man wrote: Btw, I couldn't just connect it and press PC/AV on the XRGB remote. Had to get a game running through GAME IN first before I hit the switch. Could that have anything to do with it? At the moment I can't adjust any settings at all.
Thanks will try.Konsolkongen wrote:I think that's a bug. You are using B1 mode right? If I remember correctly you can switch to PC-mode no problem when using B0 mode.

Regarding your brightness problem, I'm pretty sure you can't change any settings to alter the PC input on the XRGB-3 :/
EDIT: Lower the brightness on your TV so you get a nice image from the Dreamcast > XRGB-3 PC-in. Then raise the brightness in the XRGB-3 menu for all inputs. I keep the brightness at 50 for GAME-IN on my XRGB-3.
Hope that helps
You have a VGA DVD player?!That does it. I'm buying a switcher that holds Dreamcast, my old DVD Player, and XRGB-3
But what about 15khz sources?
I won't need to route them "around" the XRGB if it gives me a clear signal at 15khz, otherwise I'll be needing additional VGA ports. I'm not asking this for the sake of all my 15khz platforms. My SCART switcher is running out of room so I just need some place else to store extra inputs when I max out my SCART matrix. Although I could just go get another matrix for SCART inputs. Either idea should work.BuckoA51 wrote:Why do you want to route 15khz games consoles around the XRGB3 exactly? Isn't that what you bought it for?
You say it like they don't exist, lol. It's also a karaoke player (came with two mics) I bought it from a shop in Chinatown. Now if only it made toast.BuckoA51 wrote:You have a VGA DVD player?!
I had different VGA sources running through the XRGB-3 like this. A XBox1 with a X2VGA, a DVDO linedoubler and a Dreamcast and I had no interference, no RGB level boost (overly bright picture) and no degradation whatsoever. It's a been a while though. If I can manage to squeeze another cable into my setup I can give this another try with the DC this weekend - no promises though.Screw XRGBDVI-A passthroughs! Until Micomsoft releases a Firmware to clear video interference I'm done with that part.
if you want to go this route, I'd recommend a Extron RGB 203xi. Has got 3 inputs, sync cleanup, horizontal and vertical picture shift (the later one's nice to eliminate the flickering line on earlier MD/Genesis titles) and can sometimes be found quite cheap on ebay.I'm buying a switcher that holds Dreamcast, my old DVD Player, and XRGB-3
I'll try and explain this as best as I can.BuckoA51 wrote:You are still utterly confusing me, you want a VGA switch so you can switch between your 3 VGA sources i.e XRGB3, Dreamcast and DVD, where does PC Engine and Saturn come into that equation, they don't even support 31khz VGA output, hence the need for the XRGB3.

No problem man, I'd be grateful to learn the results!I had different VGA sources running through the XRGB-3 like this.

My Genny 32X Sega CD combo is a pain in the ass when it comes to flickering (oddly enough is the only SCART system that does that) so this Extron technology is just what I need! I'll also get another SCART lead just to be on the safe side, make sure it takes comp sync for retaining video and unified color properties. I have some questions about this Extron thing: 1.) Can Extron retain all of the quality. 2.) Do they sell them with 5 inputs? (If not will invest in another SCART matrix) 3.) Does it add milli-second lag on top of HD lag? 4.) Will it work if I do this | TV > SLG3000 (soon to be ordered) > Extron RGB 203xi > All VGA compatible equipment (XRGB-3/DC...etc.) |if you want to go this route, I'd recommend a Extron RGB 203xi.

but that's for 31khz source only. You can connect your Saturn to the blue DSub15 input on the back without any hassles and it will look just as stunning as on the front input. PC Engine must go the front Game-In since you probably will need the Input termination setting for the PCE and that's available on the front RGB input only.But because the blue RGB port produces interference while PC IN port is just too damn bright.
