Sega Saturn RGB Scart + DVDO HD + Picture Problem

Post by Trevor spencer »

Hi

Im running a saturn via rgb scart into my DVDO HD+ and out via DVI/HDMI but I'm having a picture issue.

The colours are incorrect and there is plenty of interference ,when I bought the DVDO it came with a home made scart cable which has worked fine with my PS1 and DVD players.

Any ideas ? I'm not overly clued up on different sync types but I can learn

Thanks

that's interesting, my Sega Saturn model 2's are working perfectly on both my my HD and HD+ systems. something you have to remember about the Sega Saturn is that if it's using C-sync you could end up with some weird pink video distortion issues. you should probably use a sync on Luma cable with the Sega Saturn (unless you absolutely need c-sync for some other reason).

I have my DVDO HD systems hooked up to male euro scart (luma sync) via a female RGBs cable made by wookiewin he does good work. (I only use the ones without Sync strippers)

Just to let you know , I found another RGB cable I had lying around and it worked so maybe they are wired for sync differently.
