The be honest, this is incredibly tricky and involves using an oscilloscope.
Most importantly though, once you’ve dialed in all the correct settings, you can save them to one of 15 profile slots, which now means changing consoles is simply a menu setting away! How to get the correct information to feed the OSSC for each console: Think of this is tuning in a radio station on an old radio to lock onto the strongest signal. The OSSC has the ability to do this, but you’ll need to set the options manually.Īlso, there’s something called “phase” that’s different on every individual console + cable scenario that needs to be manually set. If you’d like to scale it in a way that’s sharper, you’ll need to multiply that exact signal to a round number. When you first power on a brand new OSSC (or flash the firmware), it’s default settings are a good place to start and this is generally referred to as “generic mode”.Įach console outputs a very unique resolution though and many consoles have multiple unique signals. The OSSC is able to achieve “zero lag” scaling, by not buffering video at all Instead, it simply multiplies the signal that it receives by 2-5 times the original size. That’s it! If you’d like to dial in a sharper image, you check the above video, which shows you how to update the firmware and load custom profiles for each console! More information on all of this is below as well! How The OSSC Works (short-short version): Using the OSSC is as simple as plugging in your consoles, turning on the device and setting your input. Link to purchase from official distributor (avoid low-quality knockoffs!): Supported Signals = All inputs support RGBs, YPbPr and RGsB.
Input Resolutions = 240p, 480i and 480p are supported across all inputs. It’s only shortcoming is it’s not compatible with all TV’s in every mode, but it’s still an excellent choice and what I recommend to all retro-gaming videophiles! At the moment, it is by far the sharpest way to play your analog consoles via HDMI, offering tons of options, 2x 480p (960p) and up to 5x 240p (1080p!).
The Open Source Scan Converter is a zero lag upscaler.
