I’ve had mixed experience with the Otaku switches. The manual pushbutton one is good, but the 6×3 has some potential voltage issues. The 10×3 was good, but there are many board revisions, so you might have slightly different results. The cables for connecting equipment together have a male plug at each end. Some of the wires such as ground, data, switching and RGB connect to the identical pin number at each end. Others such as audio and video are swapped so that an output signal at one end of the cable connects to an input signal at the other end. The complete list of wires that are swapped are: pins 1 and 2, pins 3 and 6, pins 17 and 18, pins 19 and 20.

Extron Rxi boxes will automatically convert RGsB to either RGBs or RGBHV, without any intervention at all. In most cases, you’d just add this as the last piece of equipment before your display. This can be pretty complicated and confusing, so I’d suggest this as an expert option. So, what does that mean? For gameplay, nothing. I doubt anyone would notice any video quality difference. Just don’t use the switch if you’re doing a deep video signal analysis…but if you’re doing that, you should always connect directly anyway. If you have managed to get a clear image on your TV, but are not able to get the full vertical resolution displayed, try reducing the vertical resolution without changing the total number of lines drawn (625 for PAL, 525 for NTSC). This could lead to a nonstandard resolution, but MythTV will use this without issue.GBS-Control– The GBSc can accept all the PS2’s resolutions over the component video input and also supports motion adaptive deinterlacing. It’s a DIY solution, but excellent for PS2 users on a budget. I'll test with a 9V supply, but I'm sure it's below what some of the parts will need to work (there's a lot going on inside with the power), but you may have to supply your own power supply if these don't come in within a week. I'm not even sure if we have 12V of a different type that you could use with an adaptor. I use 9V PSUs in many of the products now because when you've got voltage regulators they tend to waste power as they act like a big resistor burning up energy. So if you need 5 and are using 9V you have a typical drop of 1.5V leaving 1.5V * current wasted. Increase that to 12V and you get 4.5 * current wasted. That's a rough calculation to highlight that voltage regulation isn't free! Hence why closer to the voltage you need the better."

If RGB was available on BNC outputs on DVD players and RGB BNC inputs on quality display devices, would be a great picture I guess ! Big advantage of component is that you can use full size well screened cables with good quality phono connectors. BNC connectors on the quality performance kit ( TAG etc) Wired for CSYNC to give the best RGB picture from your NTSC SNES. Also available as "sync over luma" for 1-CHIP-03 models which don't support CSYNC.For further information on sync types please our Demystifying RGB Sync guide.Pan and scan, which crops the image to achieve a 4:3 aspect ratio; only the centre portion is displayed with the sides truncated (as if zoomed into). The brightness levels were also good, confirmed both by eye (see for yourself above) and down to the millivolt with an oscilloscope – I didn’t both to post both captures, since they were identical:
