Issues with NTSC Saturn with RGB on a Sony BVM D14H5U

Post by reblinds »

Hi everyone, I've recently upgraded my Saturn setup for RGB. I purchased a Saturn SCART cable from retrogamingcables and SCART to BNC cables from wookieewin on ebay. I've heard these were the best resources for the cables from sources like mylifegaming's retro RGB master class. The image that my BVM is displaying is a mess, and I'm not certain how to navigate my way through the issue. Below is more detailed information about my setup:

NTSC Saturn Model 1
SCART C-Sync Cables for NTSC console
Sony BVM D14H5U

Some things I've noticed the display does is that the image is being presented. I can recognize some of the color patterns and the game I had running in the pictures is Cotton 2. The first image is Cotton from the opening sequence, and the second is of the title screen. Occasionally my BVM will say there is No Sync in the bottom left of the screen, and then say the resolution/hz (480/60i.) I've seen it occasionally swap between 60i and 60p or even seemingly random resolutions. The distorted image appears to be scrolling at times.

Please let me know if I need to provide any further information.

As your BVM itself says; no sync

On all BVM's I've owned there was a button on the remote to use external sync (ext sync) instead of internal sync.

I've sorted the issue out, it was as simple as holding shift and pressing the sync button. Thank you for the reply, but the problem's been solved!
