Sega Genesis RGB to Component VS RGB to HDMI.mov

Sega Genesis RGB to Component 480I VS RGB to 720 HDMI!

The Sega Genesis Outputs 480I Max Resolution 320 X 224

(1985 productions) says he can get 720P on his sega genesis with a scart to HDMI set up. Although its a pretty good set up.... My 480I setup by using RGB to Component RGB kicks his wanna be Hi Def 720P ass!

Original ratio 4:3. HDMI ratio 16:9. I think unfair.

@doujindance Going through HDMI @ 720P or 1080P will always up convert and get 16:9 (WideScreen). If you try using a HDMI converter on a HighDef 4:3 TV you will get black bars on top. Its not unfair because through component I can do 4:3 (Full Screen). If you choose a HDMI setup you have no choice but 16:9. That is why its better to go the component route or straight RGB.

the popular choice this last year was the SLG3000 .. it's affordable and allows the user to incorporate scanlines

@Paperclown Yes it does if you have a VGA output, like the sega dreamcast. With the Sega Genesis, SNES, Neo Geo, Sega Saturn, ETC... You will have to still purchase scart cables to draw RGB then get a video transcoder that converts RGB to VGA, then get a SGL 3000. The SGL 3000 is a very good product and better for going into a high def flat screen. I personally like just hooking directly to my CRT with this setup I am doing. It does suck dragging a CRT around. But I like the picture quality.

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls It does not filter it. It softens it much the same way a program like photoshop can soften the skin in order to take out imperfections in the skin. The sega genesis is a pixel based system and the pixels are the blueprints not imperfections. I can do the same thing by dropping down the sharpness to soften the pixels and bump up the contrast and color. This will give the same effect, but it will not be the true resolution of the system. But if you like it better then so be it.

If you already have a complete set-up as you do, then scart would be the best way to draw video out of a saturn or for any retro system that can output rgb, I totally agree with you. If you don't as in my case s-video is good enough for me. I use scart for my genesis but s-video for all my other systems. S-video is good enough when your on a budget.lol. I had to upgrade after seeing your videos because those faint lines using composite just irked the hell of me.

@lyclan77 In my case I already own a CSY 2100 and a splitter. Purchasing a RGB Scart cable from Play Asia was only 3.99. So I just hook it in line with my 4 way splitter allowing me to play Sega Genesis, Neo Geo, SNES, and Sega Saturn. By the way it does look better then the S-video setup, so why not go with it.

@grizzlytomahawk Keep your eyes open for a Commodore 1084S monitor. I rigged my Genesis with an RGB port for mine, and you wouldn't *believe* the picture quality. Also try searching for '15KHz RGB' on eBay.

[DeadlyDad]

It's too bad nobody has come up with an upconverter that uses HQX. That way, you *could* have razor-sharp 720/1080. (Most emulators have HQ2X or HQ3X filtering; try it out to see what I mean.)
