Just recently decided to replace my CSY-2100 clone that was glitching randomly in some games and systems when games blinked or had a high brightness for a Crescendo Systems TC2000 and I'm experiencing weird issues. I need it to transcode the RGBs (15 khz) from my SCART consoles (MD, SNES, etc) and from my Extron Emotia setup to my NTSC YPrPb Sony 21'" TV.
So I connected a SCART to VGA (wired for composite sync) (the TC2000 has only VGA input) from my Emotia and it was all fuzzy (like scrolling sync) so I found the TC2000 actually works without the Sync, I plugged a RGBHV/RGBS cable with no Sync and it's working perfectly. Is the TC2000 working on Sync on Green or is the sync signal not needed at all when doing color transcoding? I'm now thinking about doing a SCART to VGA wire using only RGB to transcode the retro consoles to YPrPb.
Any feedback on this? I thought Composite Sync was always necessary for the image to be setup correctly on the screen but now I'm at a loss. Is it safe to operate it this way?
It's certainly safe, but weird nevertheless. I doubt that the unit works without a sync input. Probably the Emotia doesn't have a clean green output, but has instead a copy of the sync signal on the G output. Definitely won't work with your other systems though. What you need instead is a RGB interface that takes your RGBs signals and outputs RGBHV for the Crescendo.

Thanks for the help, Fudoh! You're the best. I have two RGB Interface units, I'll go through wiring those. Thanks yet again.
You know if the Extron RGB 201 Rxi will take RGBs on the HD15 connector and output RGBHV on the BNCs?
