Yeah to me it doesn't make sense how power could actually affect that alone. Genesis must first generate RGB before sending it to a video encoder. Artifacts already present in the source RGB, should be inherited by any resulting composite.Quote:

Other than that, it also says on the website that RGB compatibility is coming as soon as its possible. Also stated is if you are an RGB gamer, they want to talk to you about it, so help out and we might have these sooner rather than later.

"Real" RGB, lol. If they try to tell me that the banding is due to my converter or TV instead of their brick, lol...Quote:

That doesn't make sense either. All the external rgb to component transcoders I know about contain their own power brick.Quote:

I know this is off topic but the sega trio would be a great name for a all in one genesis, cd, 32x system.
Real as in not converting it. In USA you are hardpressed to run pure RGB to your tv, in Europe its standard. As for your other comment, i wouldnt know. I simply forwarded what he told me.Quote:

I also have both the metal plates for my system and currently running my genesis + cd1 on aftermarket ac adapters with no distortions. they are thin enough to be able to put next to eachother on a power strip. But if this thing works as advertized, that would be even better. As for why an ac adaptor would cause any visual distortions is beyond my knowlegde.Quote:

Being specific to RGB is what seems illogical based on current info on this situation. We all know RGB is created by the console *before* going to a video encoder, which can't restore graphics already messed up.
I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what the outcome of this is. Although regardless, the fact that this came out, had the site notified, and then the site was updated with this disclaimer all within a day or two is nice. The fact that they were so responsive with that as well as the e-mails gives me hope that they will flush out whatever is causing the issue. Be it a defective unit, or a design bug that only shows up in a particular situation for some reason.
Either way, I'd love these cables to be just as robust and reliable as the Sega ones, with the added level of convenience, but I'm certainly going to wait o see how this all plays out.
Jesus, I feel kinda bad for putting up those pics of the power adapters after reading some of your results.
Wouldn't the RGB signals need to be amped prior to entering the encoder? It may not be the encoder that's screwing things up, but the amp before that.Quote:
