Upscan Converter?

Post by ptoing »

Hiya, I got myself a supergun and now need a means to connect it to a monitor or what have you.

As I have no TV atm I was thinking I might as well get an upscan converter to hook to my PC monitor so I can use all my consoles as well as the supergun on it.

I have a DELL 2405FPW which has a res of 1920x1200.

Does anyone have any tips of what would be a good choice of upscan converter for this?

Cheers

Pick up either one of the four XRGBs upscan convertors and you're good to go:

XRGB-1

XRGB-2

XRGB-2+

or the

XRGB-3

Note: you'll need a cable plugged from your Supergun extracted with the five signals of: Red, Green, Blue, Sync and Ground to plug into an XRGB via a Japanese RGB Scart cable setup. Or you could use a European Scart cable and rearrange it to Japanese RGB spec and you're back in business.

Some PCB's will only work on the XRGB2. Which is quite hard to find. In fact I'd be surprised if you could find any of the models easily. Then there is the cables, but if your half lucky, the person selling you the unit should provide a cable. Since your supergun is probably unique, youll have to build your own cable anyway.

Apart from that, what he said.

Yeh I already have a scart cable, both connectors having all 21 pins, so that should be fine.

Looked a bit for XRGB stuff, hard as hell to find tho.
