Video Game Perfection has just announced the “Koryuu transcoder” – A Composite and S-Video to YPbPr Component converter that’s fully compatible with 240p signals. This device was designed to work by itself for displays and processors that don’t have composite or s-video inputs, as well as work directly through the OSSC.
Options and features are as follows:
- Composite and S-Video in, component out
- 7.5 IRE option
- PAL 60 Supported
- Firmware updatable
- Uses same PSU as OSSC
- Stylish case looks good next to OSSC
- Connect composite and S-Video at the same time, no problems
- Additional features, such as smoothing, to be confirmed
Prototypes are currently being tested, but no word on pricing or availability. VGP will open a mailing list as soon as more info is available: https://www.videogameperfection.com/
Overall, I love that all the “holes” in the retro-gaming video world are finally being filled! Between this and the RetroTINK2x, composite and S-Video consoles now have some excellent options for both analog and digital displays! Now we just need some love for the RF port…
For anyone interested, this is a 3D model of the Koryuu: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/analog-video-converter-78a4355682d24f81ab478898a3515f67
