Sync Stripper Question

Post by EmperorZelos »

Does a sync stripper boost the signal anything or does it leave the sync signal level the same as the input composite?

Not trying to jack a thread but I actually have a sync stripper question. I have an XM-29 and had some SCART to BNC cables built, but shortly after arriving found out that the XM-29 doesn't accept composite video as sync and was wondering what is the best setup to go for with this situation.

Is it possible to chop up a USB cable and use that to power the sync stipper, it should be 5v 1a right?

A sync strike to accept RGB SCART with a DSUB15 output (with clean sync) and then DSUB15 to BNC (cables available on eBay).

Certainly plausible, although 500ma's is all that is required for a SS circuit.
