GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanliner
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Potentially I have use for both RGB to component and component to RGB. I agree a general purpose, easily available RGB to component converter would be a boon to many.

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Yeah, we will build one, however first we need to launch 2 important projects.

The answer to my Wii/PS2/Xbox/GC on Framemeister problems.
Thank you amazing people.

Short quesiton about the Garo: Will the final version also include an option to get 240p output from a 480i/p input? That would be absolutely amazing. Thanks!

It's just a transcoder, what goes in is what comes out.

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
I'm very excited about this project! I'll be using it to connect my Wii to a PVM that doesn't support component. This is exactly what I need!
Since this is a transcoder, I'd assume that lag would be pretty minimal. Have there been any precise measurements for how much lag this will introduce?

Unnoticeable...
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Finally it's here working flawlessly. This is the latest prototype. We are ready for production.
The pcb will be in black color and some power components will be replaced with smd variants for better performance.

Looking good!
What is the final price looking like for one of these babies?
I need one in order to finally make my NEC into the all in one ultimate retro gaming crt.

I will let you know tomorrow, waiting for a quotation from the factory...

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
I'm gonna need 2 of these!
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
It will be $85 including airmail shipping.

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Are you sure you didn't mean to write:
The GARO would still be a convenient option to connect for example an original Xbox to an XRGB-mini for 480i or directly to a monitor with a DE-15 input for 480p.
The transcoder won't fix a signal that is compromised at the source - it will simply sideline any issues that could possibly originate from the XRGB-mini's own YPbPr->RGBS conversion process (like the chroma-shift on the red channel bug). In particular:If used in conjunction with a framemeister, thinking of the often proclaimed better handling of RGBs instead of YPbPr.
So the general advice is to get clean RGB out of the source to the XRGB-mini wherever possible.Using a component (or D-Terminal) cable on the PS2 still shows some noise though, especially in dark grey areas or when the brightness setting wasn't properly adjusted. I wouldn't call it a deal breaker, but it's still annoying. 15khz from a PS2 using a RGB cable instead is noise-free.

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
That's what I'm interested in. There has never ever been any comparsion between 480p over miniDIN vs D-terminal.HydrogLox wrote: it will simply sideline any issues that could possibly originate from the XRGB-mini's own YPbPr->RGBS conversion process (like the chroma-shift on the red channel bug).

The XRGB-mini's 480p processing is "meh"† to begin with - I wouldn't get my hopes up.Shuco13 wrote:There has never ever been any comparsion between 480p over miniDIN vs D-terminal.

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
I'm very well aware of what the mini is capable of doing or not. In any case that didn't answer my question.HydrogLox wrote:The XRGB-mini's 480p processing is "meh"† to begin with - I wouldn't get my hopes up.Shuco13 wrote:There has never ever been any comparsion between 480p over miniDIN vs D-terminal.

No power supply needed on xbox component to vga? Even better..

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Oops sorry.. my bad
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
You need one like 9-12V. Specs are sames as Kenzei's one, can be found easily on Ebay.
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Hey beharius, Do you know if this will hold synch with the Wii? I was surprised to hear that even the OSSC will lose synch/picture blackout with the Wii. I do think the Wii is doing something weird. Here's an example on what happens on the dashboard (fyi This is not the ossc in action but some 3rd party cable)
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
I haven't seen that problem with Garo, I can check it again.
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Great, if you need more examples then No More Heroes will black screen when you kill an enemy or maybe use Mario Kart's double dash' lightning weapon to see if it holds.
I have a PAL Wii but have seen it on NTSC software too.

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
One more request, beharius, can you see if the transcoding causes black crush? I have a mayflash vga cable and a fake GBS/ebay scaler and the GBS scaler crushes the black level.
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Final tests with the XRGB...

Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Videos look good, couldn't notice any chroma shift. I take it that it works perfectly with the Wii too? Looking forward to tomorrow
Re: GARO - Universal Component Video Transcoder with Scanli
Yes, no problems.
