DVDO Iscan HD+ and Sync Strike

Post by nanatofu »

Hello, I'm newbie.

I have a DVDO Iscan HD+ scaler. Can I connect my Snes and PSX to DVDO Iscan HD+ by a Sync Strike? What is the right way? I have a Dreamcast vga modded can I connect directly to the DVDO?

So, I wouldn't to use a VGA input on DVDO because if I do that I can't use the DVI output but only the vga output passtrough.

Thanks.

You can use a sync strike, but technically a sync stripped isn't neccessary. You need a HD15 to RCA breakout cable to connect the SS to the iScan.

For DC you need a RGB interface which does a sync conversion from RGBHV to RGBs.

Thanks Fudoh for fast reply.

I had bought the HD15 cable to RCA but I don't see any signal. Is there any spacial setup on Iscan to see the images?

Now my setup is: snes => Sync Strike (with 5v PSU) => HD15 to RCA (red, green and blue jack) => component input Iscan => output DVI to HDMI from IScan => TV Led

But I don't see video image.

You're missing the fourth line (Sync). Your signal is still RGBs, not component.

The cable above is ok, but the other link shows a scan converter (480p to 480i). You don't want that.

Either you get an RGB interface (480p RGBHV to 480p RGBs) or you just forget about the iScan and use a VGA to HDMI converter instead.

It doesn't have to be an Extron to get the job done.

Here's a Covid for $17 usd, free shipping, and dual outputs.
