 Hello everyone, welcome to this retro tech special filming today's episode We're trying to just take some footage of some CRTs playing just some games the one on the left side of the screen is the JVC 36 inch CRT it's just a Consumer CRT and then we've got the 20 oh 5 pvm on the right the smaller screen That you see there. I'm just attempting to try to film some footage I've got them looped together through a component loop. This is a Sony PlayStation 2 slim that I am using to Play this game. This is Actually this game is Gran Turismo 4 and the reason I chose this game. It actually has a couple of different video modes in The option menu we're going to go through here It'll let you do 480i which it's currently in and that's loop to the two TVs It'll also do 480p and it'll even do up to 1080 i so I wanted to show an Example of what happens when you try to use 1080i or 480p in a consumer television as well as in the multi-format 20 oh 5 but just so you can see how crisp the pictures look on the CRT for 480i content It's just beautiful so We're gonna let this roll and you can just kind of see some action here volume on this one Again, this is a component video loop out the back of the Multi-format monitor, so let's go ahead and show you I want to show you just the monitor this How you can use this to test this is a great test for displaying what the capabilities of your television are for As far as old content to new content a PlayStation 2 is great Because a PlayStation 2 can actually still go down to 240p with original PlayStation games and the occasional PlayStation 2 game Now there is a secret menu option available in a lot of That has a 480p mode for some other PlayStation 2 games There's not a normal way to get to that all linked to that and probably do an example of that soon But today we're doing this one so on this video screen settings We're gonna go here to video output. There's a progressive mode, and then there's HDTV 1080i mode First thing notice, let's do progressive mode. This is gonna show. Hey. Do you really want to do this? Okay? Notice how the TVs turn off and they come back So on our screen to the right we have 480p mode Selected so They're selected and it shows up again over here because the menu is always in 480i for this game So even if you change that it won't change your video output to you actually launch the race So if you change it to 480p or 1080i or just show that but that's a great way You could see how the 480p doesn't work on the JVC, but it does work on this monitor 480p is pretty much known to work on this monitor, but I'm gonna show 1080i. It doesn't look great But it does work because it's smushed. It smushes your screen. If you had a d24 BVM then it would be really cool because then you wouldn't have to deal with a smushed screen Single-race The monitor turns off again, and it's switching over into the 1080i mode 1080i 60 That just shows what this component source is It does not work on the JVC television But it does work on the multi-format monitor the JVC television kind of loses sync and everything Let's take a look over here, and you can see the 1080i has come through So this is just a quick demo showing the capabilities of this monitor We're gonna do some more videotaping later on with this setup I want to do some things with light guns and just some fun demos Playthroughs and some discussions of some topics and some interesting questions. I've gotten over the last month But thanks again for watching Retro Tech the capabilities of your television or monitor are This is a good way to test them with just a PlayStation 2 a component cable and a copy of a very cheap game Grant Charisma 4. Have a great day
