I've been waiting for these!! I have a pretty specific setup that requires every input to be YPbPr so I'm glad I can finally get these without having to deal with a SCART to YPbPr box exclusively for Dreamcast. For those curious: GCompSW 8x2 > One output goes into my RT5X for capture and the other goes into an OSSC DExx which then goes out into a Portta HDMI to YPbPr then into my PVM-14M2U. The OSSC DExx will take anything ranging from 240p to 480p. 240p and 480i are simply passed through, and 480p gets line dropped to 480i in adaptive line multiplication mode, which has less than 1ms of lag so virtually lagless. It's basically my dream setup without having to find a 480p BVM.

Bravo! Thanks for this Bob! I have been debating about the component cable vs DCDigital hw2. Composite via 5X leaves a lot on the table. I think I am leaning towards DCDigital hw2 as I am assuming you will not need to manually switch between resolutions (ie the DCDigital takes care of that prior to scaling). While a minor thing, I target anything that does not require manual switches (an expensive preference I would call it). I love the clarity you provide around the reason for the switching and how it interacts with different TV's. Thanks again!

If you have an European EDTV CRT, such as the Panasonic TX-36PD30 or Toshiba 36ZP38B, or its smaller sets, such as the TX-32PD30 or TX-32PD50, the cables work perfectly on 480p, and the light gun also works very well. I tested with an NTSC-J Dreamcast and an NTSC-U Dream Blaster. The manual says that the set doesn't support light guns, and it's true for older consoles, but it doesn't apply to Dreamcast and Xbox light guns. I tested and played House of the Dead 2 and 3 to death with both consoles. I have informed Robert from RGC. I learned recently (third party information, I never owned or tested one myself) that there were a few models of HD CRTs in North America that have variable frequency and can do actual 31kHz (no processing or stretching to 540p), so I wonder if the light gun would work on them as well. Granted, not a lot of people own those sets, but the ones that do might be happy to know.

Thanks for the info. I plan to use these cables on an HDCRT as well. I have a question for you. Does the image appear centered with proper aspect ratio? I don't want to have to go into the service menu and adjust the horizontal size, etc because all my other consoles are set up to look good. I currently use a vga > component converter and it's too small and pushed to the right. I wasn't sure if this cable corrected any of that. Thanks.
@crt_rex
Жыл бұрын
@@cerebralaudio No problem! First, the proper aspect ratio depends on whether your CRT is 4:3 or 16:9. If using a widescreen CRT, then you need to patch the Dreamcast game or use a code in order to make it the proper aspect ratio, if it's a 4:3 HD CRT, then you don't need to do anything. Now as for the image pushed to the right, that's a VGA thing as far as I remember, as I had the exact same problem myself, but with the cheap Kaico converter, which I believe just does the same thing but converting VGA to HDMI. I haven't had this issue with this cable, however, positioning of the image could vary with CRTs. Please note that the TV I tested in question is an EDTV CRT and not an HD CRT. It tops at 480p component, it doesn't do 540p/1080i. As far as I know, by researching and discussing with others, no such model came out in North America, so many people are puzzled and even doubtful of their existence, but they do exist and I have three of them. While I have an HD CRT as well, it has terrible geometry, so I haven't tested light gun functionality on it, but if it works on the EDTV and VGA monitors, I see no reason why it wouldn't work on an HD set.

@@crt_rex I should have specified it's 4:3 540p. Sony KD-36XS955. That's most likely the problem. Putting 480p inside 540p and stretching it. The Dreamcast outputs 720x480 but only uses 640x480 part of the frame I believe which causes the unusual placement. I also tried the kaico hdmi adapter and the image was way too small inside the 540p frame. I've also tried an ossc and gbs control. GBS control offers the most control over the image position but it has other drawbacks. I might have to try this dedicated component cable.

@@cerebralaudio That's a great set, God I love Trinitrons, and I wish I had one instead of my crappy Samsung Slimline with terrible geometry. Anyway, yes, with most HD CRTs the 31kHz will always be stretched to fit the 33.75kHz raster, some do better than others, my aforementioned set being one of them. I forgot to mention, that while North America did not get the European ED CRTs, it did get a few HD CRT models with variable frequency that go to 31kHz for actual 480p without any stretching/resizing. Sadly, not by Sony, as far as I know. I have a couple of the models written here somewhere. I have GBS-C as well, and I agree, it's great but it has drawbacks as well. How about RetroTINK, I believe that had, in one of the firmwares, an actual 540p, would that solve all your problems, as it would handle it instead of the TV? Something to think about. I would indeed go on and buy the cable. You won't lose a thing, as it is sought after and if it doesn't work for you, you will be able to sell it easily, for the same or higher price.

On RGC's website it has the following disclaimer regarding that DC Component cable: "Compatibility with...Consumer Grade Televisions which accept component video, but only in 15KHz/576i TV mode only, and will not work in 480p mode. To use 480p Mode you need one of the following devices below: Sony BVM which accepts 480p, XRGB-mini, Framemeister, OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter), RetroTink 2X Pro, RetroTink 5X Pro." My question is, why can you not get a 480p signal from this cable connecting it directly to your modern flat panel TV? Is this a calculated limitation to force you to purchase these additional devices?
@RetroRGB

That disclaimer is just there to remind people that this cable won't magically allow standard CRT's to accept 480p. These cables will work with ANY device that accepts 480p over component.

I might consider this. I already have a Toro VGA box that also outputs to SCART, but having something less bulky might be nice too. I wonder how the two (these cables and the Toro box) compare (I have a RetroTink 5x Pro, so it would accept both).

I must be one of the few crazy people who likes 480i more than 480p on the same BVM and such, or even 480p on a PC VGA monitor. Somehow the picture just looks better to me overall, though the Dreamcast is the console that has the best 480p out of all the consoles from that gen (though the Gamecube's may be just as good).

any experience with that specific VGA straight into a crt? (gonna go vga into trinitron). Worth it when compared to composite in this case?

I've never seen a 32" Sony with a VGA input. Or one that could handle 31KHz / 480p. Do you have a model number and I can look it up? Don't paste a link, otherwise KZitem will block it - Just a model number please.

Don’t waste your time with VGA and the Toro boxes. For some reason the screen just isn’t crystal clear. I have a 36” Trinitron

So before knowing this info I purchased the Bitfunx RGBS VGA component cable that switches between those 2 signals. Problem is I don't know how to properly use it with my Tink5x. Seems to only somewhat work in RGBS mode and VGA mode is unclear and tearing at the top/bottom of image.

I got the RGC RGB cable working on my CRT. Not sure why it didn't work the first time. I switched it to 15Khz and plugged it in firmly. The bouncing DC logo came up and I feel a fool. I was about to buy a DC to SCART cable + RGB2COMP device for 100 more dollars.

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing a few times with previous cables. The DC jack is just snug.

@@RetroRGB I discovered an interesting issue. I recently bought two VA0 DCs. One works with the RGC RGB cable, one does not. The only difference is the working DC was made Aug 1999. The one that does not work was made July 1999. They both work with svideo no problem. Also the DC Generator demo disc does not work with the cable. Weird.

5:57 why did the aspect ratio on the right change from the transition to scart to hdmi mod? Is it because scart is analog? Makes me concerned that the component cables do not fix the VGA 480p Aspect Ratio / Sampling Line Issues.

If you've invested in an amazing TV like that, you'll either want an internal Dreamcast HDMI mod, or a scaler and a VGA cable. Some context: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tZqcrKKIZpqAfm0 / kzitem.info/news/bejne/pmmb1mqpsGKUa44
