Recommended settings for DVDO iScan Duo

[The Rook]

I was finally able to get a DVDO iScan Duo for a decent price and I'm in the process of hooking up a bunch of retro consoles (9 to be exact) to it.

Does anyone have any recommendations as far as settings?

For example, should I use the Game Mode on iScan Duo or my TV? Or both?

Here's what I'll be hooking up to it:

HDMI 1 - Analogue CMVS via Component to HDMI adapter
HDMI 2 - Analogue NT
HDMI 3 - Analogue Super NT
HDMI 4 - N64 with HDMI mod
HMDI 5 - Genesis via SCART to HDMI adapter
HDMI 6 - Saturn via SCART to HDMI adapter
HDMI 7 - Dreamcast via Akura HDMI adapter (wondering if VGA would be a better option)
Component 1 - PS2
Component 2 - XBOX

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Genesis via SCART to HDMI adapter

What kind of Scart to HDMI adapter do you have in mind ?

Your posting in the other thread makes it sound as if you're really aware of the difference between a video processor and a switch. Keep in mind that depending on your source, the iScan Duo can degrade your visual quality a lot. This starts with internal 4:2:2 processing on the iScan's side (= cutting the color resolution into half) and ends with mangling 240p sources by adding tons of vertical ringing.

Yeah I have a Duo but I only use it for film sources and as a passthrough switch for modern consoles. It's quite nice in this role. I prefer my 30 and even that I really only use to line double (for 240p/480i) or (essentially) transcode (for slightly newer 480p stuff) older sources to a VGA CRT monitor.

If I were getting something for only gaming now, I'd get an OSSC and switch(es). The only time this would really be annoying is if you have a lot of composite (because really who wants to hook up composite via scart) and svideo sources but these days there is hardly a reason for them in vintage gaming.

A Duo is livable though, if a bit not ideal for this content.
