I'd like to see this. Ideally screenshots compared to reference title screen on accurate emulator and between the RGB and the Comp for each device. Signal to noise ratio, maybe even THD, would be amazing. Helpful to check 240p/480i + PAL, 480p + PAL, 720p, 1080i if possible. Higher resolution greatly increases the bandwidth and impedance so a transcoder good at one resolution could take a hit on another. I never thought comparisons only using 240p/480i were fair. PAL uses more bandwidth and alternates phase on half the video so may give different quality from NTSC.ChuChu Flamingo wrote:So has anyone done a comparison of RGB2Comp vs Shinybow 2840?
Living in Georgia, costs for these are:
linuxbot3000 RGB SCART to YPbPr: $65.34 [$50 + $10 shipping from New Zealand + $5.34 GA sales tax]
RGB2COMP: ................................... $78.98 [$69.99 +$8.89 shipping]
ani-av Shinybow 2840: .................. $86.90 [$75.20 + $11.70 FedEx 3 days cheapest option. Lets you use FedEx business account if you have one.]
For no sales tax, surely you will pay use tax when you file.
If you factor in PCB + $6-12 in chips + cheap connectors + container, prices aren't bad but DIY becomes an option.
