For some reason, direct Luminance in S-Video looks fine (this is how my S-Video cable is wired), but when using direct Luminance through Component, the colors seem too dull. A single 33ohm resistor is actually the way to go here.Quote:

Besides, I've got an RGB-modded Super NES Mini with VASTLY superior RGB to what a launch-model Super NES is capable of.Quote:

What does the NES do when you run its RGB into my converter circuit?Quote:

I'm gonna look at it again this week and make note of which trial yielded the scrambled image.
can someone make one for me? I have a SNES.
If you have a Super NES with the BA6592F or S-ENC encoders, you could just use the Component outputs of the chips already in the console.
By the way, while sifting through UTSource, I discovered they actually stock the Nintendo S-ENC encoder. I'm gonna desolder the one on my SNS-CPU-GPM-01 Super NES (I'm getting all sorts of video issues since resoldering the chip in place) and see how to get good Component video out of it. I've asked for a quote to see how much one of those chips costs, and if the S-ENC could give the same results as the BA6592F with less/cheaper parts, I may ditch the BA6592F and use the S-ENC instead.
EDIT: Bummer... UTSource doesn't have any S-ENCs in stock. They do, however, have 100 BA6592Fs in stock for $1 each. So, with Lastcallhall's quote for 100 PCBs at $250, this would bring up the cost of parts I can't get locally to $350. The capacitors, transistors and resistors are all easily attainable locally, so I would like to get a group order for those 100 PCBs and 100 encoders.
anyone please?Quote:

Ace, did you want to start a group buy thread?
I'd probably be interested in 2 of them for my Saturn and Genesis if you get boards made for it and it comes out cheaper than getting those SCART to YUV convertors.
Depending on the final price, I could go for 5 to 10... at least 5.
As Ace said, your SNES may have an encoder that outputs component already. Take a look and see if it has the BA6592 or BA6594AF and then it's just a matter of doing a simple mod.Quote:

I can get the boards locally...

I just built a custom dual RGB/S-Video cable using a broken S-Video cable, a leftover DB9 (this carries the RGB) and some leftover red and white RCA cables. I would have never imagined the Saturn looking this good; 3D games looks really nice (they don't actually look too blocky - textures look REALLY good) and the 2D games... wow. The Sega Ages releases in particular look like if you were using an arcade monitor to play the games on; VERY vibrant colors and a very sharp picture. I've got some pictures of After Burner II, Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition and Sega Rally Championship on my laptop, which I'll show later on as I don't have access to my laptop right now.
I tell you, after having used the Saturn in S-Video for so long and now using the Saturn in Component, S-Video just doesn't stack up to Component. In S-Video, the picture is quite a bit blurrier, dithered graphics tend to flicker, there's less color variation and 3D games look blockier (as a small note, my Saturn doesn't have the usual CXA1645, but rather some Fujitsu encoder whose model number I can't remember).
I never could get behind the svideo fandom. Beats composite obviously, but...
It all depends on the tv. On a good crt there's barely any difference between component and s-video. Heck even on my capture devices there isn't a huge difference between component and s-video image quality.Quote:
