Reduce jailbars

This component video chip will only work on HDTV sets that accept 240P.  Check to make sure your HDTV supports 240P before ordering.

I throw together a quick installation guide here: http://www.mediafire.com/?x7m3oxarr9p74x0

Disclaimer: Jail bars issues varies from system to system especially on the tg-16/pc-e core systems.  It's more noticeable on some system even with the jail bar fix (installation of two caps to hu6260). The jail bars fix seems to work best on the duo's from my experience. Neither the genesis nor the SNES exhibit any jail bars that I can see thus far.

QUALITY work there.

Hey y'all, just want to say that it's my Duo in those pictures. turbokon installed the component mod on my system and it's working great. Looks really good on my HDTV.    His work is highly recommended. I want to post some pictures sometime how it looks on my TV compared to the AV hook-up when I get some time.

[turbokon]

Haha, yep those are pictures of MrPoppy's Duo. Thanks for being my first component video mod costumer:)

[Keith Courage]

I bought some of these and they work great. Just make sure that your TV supports 240P resolution before buying. Some TVs do not.

[MrPoppy]

No pictures from me yet but I just had both composite and component hooked up at the same time and switched between inputs, the difference really is staggering. Really washed out and blurry image on composite, everything is very bright and crisp on the component. If you're playing your system on an HDTV there's really no other option IMO.

[EvilEvoIX]

Can you mod it so it RGB comes out of a SCART lead or the oem av jack and then split to component?  I always disliked the multi RCA jacks on a system.  I like the oem look.

[turbokon]

This might work if you want to keep the stock look for a duo. It will need modification for it to fit the pins layout on the duo.

Perfect.  Then I can have SCART out or just a custom Component cable?

[Duo_R]

Whichever you want. What are you hooking it up to?

[EvilEvoIX]

I guess I'd just rather have it go out the stock port and open up to component.  I have it hooked up to a 36" Sony Wega Trinitron.  It accepts all signals from 240P to 1080i

Did you pick that Quarter out special? 

[Duo_R]

Use the din connector Turbokon linked and have a custom cable made. No reason for a scart cable.
