I've only used it with a PS3, not sure if it actually works on a 4K signal.
Thank you!
lol 😂 $1.04…… I made the purchase. First time using Ali express. That’s just stupid cheap.

Most of these splitters can handle 4K60 signals, but it doesn't matter in this case because you would put it between the PS3 and the Tink, carrying a signal between 480p and 1080p max.

Can anyone suggest any settings on the OSSC Pro for the PS3? Using the Scaler is prolly the best option, right?

Going to be playing mostly PS2 Games on the PS3. We started Haunting Grounds but we will be playing some ps3 games of course.

Firmware version 0.79 has been released:

* support for 24Hz HDMI sources added
* support for higher framelock/BFI multipliers added
* “720p max” EDID preset added
* Full TX setup compatibility option added
* various robustness and timing improvements
* Lumacode support for Atari GTIA and Atari VCS added

Lots of things has changed underneath, but the most apparent updates are something only movie watchers and Atari owners are likely to benefit from.

Whatever is the end result, I won't be pouring more time and money into its development anymore.
Given how poor the output is in a lot of the systems that have only RF output, it would probably be overkill to perfect the RF input anyway. The fact you've done so much work to add RF support in the first place is quite remarkable. :)
These Legacy AV with RF boards are now available, more details in this topic.

Hey Marqs,

I’m having an issue with the new 0.79 OSSC Pro update. It installs but stays on the Test Pattern and won’t get off it. Even if my system is turned on to AV1. It’s locked to Test Pattern. I tried re downloading it and reinstalled the update 5 times. Same outcome. So I went back to 0.78 and it my ossc pro works perfect with 0.78. Just thought you should know.

@Marqs
Will there be any new batches of extra AV Out for OSSC Pro (VGA) ?

There is currently one in making so a restock should be available soon. In general the demand for these cards has been higher than expected and some of the key parts (also for Legacy AV and AV adapter) have limited availability.

I'm willing to port/develop required firmware if someone is willing to design the sensor module. The things I miss from currently available lag testers are capability to measure pure display latency (without scanout delay from top) and strobe length (impulse / roling scan / BFI displays). These were already present in the original OSSC Latency tester but that remained DIY-only.

I know it's very niche but is there any chance of a 24khz output mode? I would like to use it with my arcade cab with a Nanao MS8 monitor.

I suppose it could be added on the next FW, it has been already requested earlier and there are some other output presets that are about to be added too. I wonder if some common 24kHz timings are documented somewhere to help making the presets usable as-is.

That would be fantastic Marqs. Thanks. There are some timings listed here for Sega Model 2 if that helps at all: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads ... ngs.28777/

Those settings are mostly consistent with what I use for my own model 1,2 and 3 boards.

Mainly some CVT-RB presets to enable higher refresh rate 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 modes. I don't know any flat panel with these native res that could even handle the existing maximums, though. A high-res 4:3 interlace mode preset has been also requested, but there's not really standardized ones aside from 1024x768@87i.

Is 1024x768@87i roughly 24khz? I'm looking to run Sega Model 2 stuff in its native res from a PC on my 24khz arcade monitor and being able to see my Windows desktop in a hi res interlaced mode would be massively helpful.
