Virtually any and all noise issues have nothing to do with the RetroTINK-5X Pro itself.It will reveal any flaws in your signal chain such as, but not limited to, poor quality video cables, poor quality power supplies or consoles that are inherently noisy to begin with. The RetroTINK-5X Pro is a high-resolution video digitizer.NEOGEO AES systems may have sync problems, although the latest firmware has improved this in many some cases, especially when paired with the HD Retrovision cables. For dedicated NEOGEO use, we still recommend a MVS-1C based setup as those have no problems.Sega Master System may have sync problems.Known Issues that are Under Investigation 1440p mode is only available for 240p/480i/480p sources. The RetroTINK-5X Pro uses 1920 x 1440p CVT reduced blanking timings. °Not all TVs/displays will be compatible with 1440p. 1080i inputs use 'Bob' deinterlacing, 480i/576i inputs can utilize all deinterlacer modes. All other input resolutions preserve the full original chroma bandwidth. *720p and 1080i inputs are chroma limited. Latency: ~0.25 frames in Framelock, 0.25 to 1.25 frames in Triple Buffering.Scanline Generation: Multiple types, adjustable intensity.Deinterlacer: Motion Adaptive, Weave, Bob, Blend, CRT simulation.Scaler: Polyphase interpolation (Bilinear Sharp and Bilinear).Decoder: High quality comb filter that minimizes composite artifacts or notch filter for a vintage look.Composite and S-Video Standards: NTSC, PAL, PAL-60, composite video is decoded with a high-quality comb filter to minimize dot artifacts or a notch filter for a vintage look.Input Filtering: Selectable low-pass filter for noise reduction.Input Ports: Composite (shared with green RCA jack), S-Video, Component, RGB and Composite on SCART connector.Seamless handling of resolution switches for drop free gaming on titles that switch between 240p and 480i.High quality polyphase scaling at both integer and non-integer factors for sharp pixels without shimmer.Fully compliant CEA-861 standard 1080p modes to maximize compatibility across displays and capture cards.
The first high resolution (1080p and above) video scaler that is capable of covering virtually all analog inputs: composite, S-video, component and RGB out of the box.The first custom developed FPGA-based Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing algorithm specifically for games to make 480i titles shine without adding lag or flicker.The first automatic optimal phase algorithm to produce the sharpest image with zero adjustments needed beyond selecting the base mode.We are proud to offer the RetroTINK-5X Pro, our first FPGA-powered device that introduces a few landmark accomplishments for bridging retro consoles to modern TVs:
