OSSC (DIY video digitizer & scandoubler)

[xadox]

Actually I do not know how to preorder one OSSC?

[kardus]

Has anyone tried the linetriple/720p with a micomsoft xcapture-1?

[BuckoA51]

@BuckoA51, when's cutoff date for the 50% for the first 126 to pay up?

Whenever I've cleared all the stock basically. If you've had an invite you can order any time as long as there's still units in stock.

Hmm... I am already on some of your newsletters. Since I receive the news about the OSSC.
So am I already on the queue?

[h1ghju1ce]

No way to check the queue anymore for me since I have deleted the mail.
There was no real reason to keep such a news mail

@BuckoA51, thank you for the reply back. So I guess those of us under 200 will just have to wait a bit for an order/purchase link.

[BuckoA51]

Yep, I've got 36 left and will be sending out 36 more invites tomorrow.

Not sure if this has been confirmed but the Sony Bravia KDL-42W653A doesnt work with Linetriple mode

Also I have my NTSC Frontloader NES (NESRGB Mod) hooked up and the OSSC is reporting it as 262p, is this correct thought it should be 240p?

[blizzz]

262 lines is correct for 240p, or 525 for 480i. 240 are only the visible lines.

OK thanks.

Do any settings need to be altered from default from a SNES Mini with the RGB mod??, as the OSSC is detecting a signal but the res is constantly changing on the OSSC display??

[blizzz]

Try to set 'Analog Sync LPF' to max and see if that helps.

Yep that worked, can set it to 'med' as which also works, thanks!!. Does having this setting enabled have any negatoive effect on other systems or is it fine to leave it set to 'med' for all systems?

Im noticing some interference on the screen on both my NES and SNES, im using cables from retrogamingcables so there not cheap cables. Is this normal with the display being 480p on a Sony Bravia?

[BuckoA51]

Interference like a very faint vertical trembling in places? I think this is normal for some systems, though it should be barely noticeable (much less so than it was on the XRGB3 for example).

Interference like noise over colours shouldn't be happening in my experience.

Yeah kind of, It seem to be on edge of some text

Heres a video i took of the issue on the SNES....

Does the W653A have reality creation and if so then do you have it turned on by any chance?

Yeah think ive seen that option, not sure if i have it turned on... am using input HDMI2 for the OSSC, as for some reason if i run it through my av amp the display is 16:9 for some reason. Ill have to look at the settings and see if reality creation is enabled or not on HDMI2 input

EDIT: reality creation is turned OFF. The only advanced options i have turned on are, Detail Enhancer and Edge Enhancer, maybe its one of them causing the issue

no, they won't. Does the LPF setting on the OSSC (not the sync LPF!) affect what you're seeing ? I found that some systems work better with certain LPF settings than others.

[BuckoA51]

My SNES and my Megadrive show a tiny bit of trembling like that too, but you really have to look for it. XRGB3 was way more prone to it.

BenQ BL2405HT - Works with LineTripple mode (Source Amiga A1200 and MegaDriveII )

Havent tested 480LineDouble yet as I need to hook up the PS2 for that



Since the bezel also rotates, I alos need to try out a vertical scroller and vertscanlines

once you rotate your screen you don't need the option for vertical scanlines any longer. The standard horiontal ones will be the right ones.

262 lines is correct for 240p, or 525 for 480i. 240 are only the visible lines.

So one should record footage at 1280x786 for linetripled 240p, right?

[blizzz]

Calle, no. You only capture the visible lines. So 240 x 3 = 720.

[Calle W]

Aight, gotcha. Thanks, blizzz!

Also found out that the feed from my SNES (non 1-chip) cuts out on the SC-512 even though sync is stable. I was able to fix it by changing the HDMI/DVI bandwidth to 175% in the driver (latest Micomsoft driver, 160). Works perfectly now. It also made 480i material look a bit more stable. The card doesn't seem to like interlaced content over HDMI/DVI though.

Sorry for hijacking the OSSC thread with FM talk FWIW, I only just learned of the OSSC on the weekend and now plan on ordering one when my next pay hits my bank account, cos it sounds like an amazing piece of work.

I wouldnt worry about not having the funs for the OSSC just yet, *get yourself in the queue now* , they wont have a unit for you for months at this rate
I think as Matt said, hopefully before xmas
They dont charge you a £ until they have a unit to ship you

Thanks for the tip. #1007

Linetriple looks mesmerizing on my LG OLED 55EF950V. 480p X2 also works perfectly.

[CobraKing]

Yep, I've got 36 left and will be sending out 36 more invites tomorrow.

@BuckoA51, thanks again for the response. I'm hoping that half of those 36 don't respond back to you.

[ZellSF]

Another weird request: 240p passthrough possible?

[deltronik]

So, I've noticed some funny interference that seems to be in the sync on my NESRGB Twin Famicom that I never saw with my GBS-8220 and Gefen Scaler combo...

Especially bad in vertical scrolling games like Xevious, when the screen is scrolling vertical, there is a very pronounced horizontal "wave" visible where every few scan lines is offset from the other, back and forth. This is very noticeable on the edges of the visible pixels, but it is affecting the whole scanline.

When the scene is still it looks fine, but when the vertical scrolling start, the wave starts at the top of the screen and works it's way down until it is visible across the whole screen. When you go back to the title screen, it looks normal.

I'll grab a video when I get back from the office. I tried some searching for similar issues, but I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminology....
