My A500 "project" pics, details, build log?

The conversion from RGB scart to yuv/ypbpr is a fairly simple addition/subtraction, and not much more.

I dont think it does anything with the sync signal, as the ypbpr will accept the 15Khz, but it may modify it slightly, to make it more compatible with more TVs

It doesn't stretch the image, the tv does, same as if you were to connect scart, or the GBS, directly to the TV.

I'll have more of a fiddle with it over the weekend.

This TV seems to not photograph well.... I started off with a DSLR, but had to switch back to some crappy camera to get an ok pic....

guess which is which?

1= gbs82xx
3= rgb-yuv
2= svideo

?

[AmmoJammo]

options are actually YUV, Scart RGB, Svideo

Should have plugged the GBS in, but this wasn't my proper testing just yet anyway...

[djos]

Ok so which is which?

[AmmoJammo]

If you guess right, I'll tell you its right

Maybe I should plug the GBS in and find some new camera batteries...

[AmmoJammo]

Bit of YUV, GBS, svideo

not resized this time.... but, I dont think it looks any better...

The GBS actually seems to look somewhat better on this TV

All my cables are very low quality though.

Seems like a good improvement over composite! Now where is that eBay link....

ok imo the GBS is number 3 (banding is the giveaway) and there seems to be slightly more colour info in number 1 so im calling that YUV and number 2 is s-video which still looks quite good too.

[AmmoJammo]

1. Svideo
2. YUV
3. GBS

However, as I said, this tv doesn't photograph well.

YUV is slightly better than the svideo.... but using scart rgb directly connected to the tv actually gave the worst picture... (not including the gbs) :p

the scart to yuv adapter also has the ability to adjust all the colours, and contrast, I spent about 10 seconds fiddling, so I'm sure you could get it better

Nice, what about the stretch, does it leave 4:3 alone or does it stretch to 16:9 to annoy us aspect ratio purists?

[AmmoJammo]

The tv scales it.

[djos]

The tv scales it.

I'm not sure if you understand the question correctly, is the yuv converter outputting the 4:3 video in a 4:3 frame or does it stretch the content into a 16:9 frame?

Why would the YUV converter stretch it?  If it is it's a piece of junk and should be replaced with an Indivision (haha, yes, my biased opinion), but in any case nearly any good TV has an option to stretch 4:3 to 16:9 or not.  It's an option in the menu on the TV.  Same thing, if your TV doesn't have that option junk it for a better model.  Heh.  

[AmmoJammo]

The tv stretches it.

[AmmoJammo]

The device outputs what is being input. It doesn't change the resolution or the aspect ratio. It Dmdpmt stretch or scale the image, the tv does!
