Turbo/PCE/Genesis/SNES RGB to Component Video (YPbPr) Mod Chip Now For Sale!!!

[thesteve]

board works on geni, by adding 1K resistors between geni and board RGB pins

[turbokon]

Thesteve made it work with a genni by adding 1k resistors from the genni's rgb to component video board rgb input. I will try this and get the install guide updated to include this.

[thesteve]

the board can work with any RGB device, given a few rules
the RGB lines must have a voltage offset and must be .7Vpp-1Vpp sig
must have a sync sig of at least .3Vpp
thats it.
the sega has 1.4Vpp-2Vpp sig, so i needed to cut that in half
the board has a 1K input impedance, so 1K resistors did the job

As the proud owner of the CD Dock that the first adapter was installed into, I just wanna chime in real quick to say it looks great.  There's a small amount of jailbars as we know, but really unless you're looking for it you don't see it (JJ & Jeff, as noted, is the worst and even then it still looks way better than it did on composite).

Played around a little with it on my Turbo Everdrive and very happy with the work.

Thanks to all who made this a reality.

Got pics of the component vid from the geni?

Just installed it on my geni today:)

So, is is possible to run it on a Genny using the output from the rear AV connector? 

Basically, this is what I was thinking:
Tap the pinout, add the 1k resistors after that(are they on the RGB lines or the sync, or both?), then wire them to the board.  Finally tap the board out for the component and run to your TV.

Does that sounds like it would work or is it madness?

[turbokon]

Yep, you can do that. Thesteve just tapped it from the back connector of the genni. You only need to add the 1kohm res to the RGB signals only, no need to add to the sync. You can get +5v and ground from the connector pinout also.

So like an external component encoder that isnt rediculously expensive?

[thesteve]

yep

[xelement5x]

So like an external component encoder that isnt rediculously expensive?

Exactly what I was thinking

I was thinking it would be cool to make more of a black box type thing that I could plug input from off a console, then it does the component conversion.  If I could find a Nintendo AV plug with the correct pinouts then maybe people could finally get GameCube component cables that don't cost a bajillion dollars too.

[turbokon]

Maybe that's something Shapeways can make with 3D printing. Someone else will have to take this on and work with Shapeways.

can someone try it on Nintendo 64? SNES too if possible. these consoles have nice games that I want to play using component output.
