Progressive 480p in RGB from PlayStation 2

[Unseen]

Unseen, have you used the V sync to get 5V to Pin 16 before

No

I believe the European saturns do that with c-sync

The thing is I already have the sync strike and I want to connect the output of an Extron back to Scart enabled TV to make use of 1. the sync stripped signal 2. the h shift.

bit of an overkill, just to use a H-shift function. Doesn't your TV offer that on its own (through the service menu) ?

The cable works, but it does not provide a switching voltage. Many TVs require this though and won't switch into RGB mode unless pin 16 is provided with a power supply.

I gave up in the end and soldered a male USB lead to the Scart head of the BNC to Scart cable. +5v from USB to 100 Ohm resistor to Scart. The result is quite good and now my Extron RGB interface is essentially a splitter also. The picture is very stable and clear on both displays and the only noise I get seems to be coming from the Madcatz Scart Switcher as connecting the console directly to the SyncStrike removes it all. The only reason I wanted to stay away from the 5V cable is because I didn't wanted and extra plug being taken by yet another power supply.... completely forgetting there's a free USB port at the back of the TV right next to the Scart input..
