HDMI upscaling on a budget
I love my CRT to death, but sometimes a more compact option is needed. Does anyone know of an HDMI upscaler that doesn't cost $400, outputs 50 Hz without artifacts or dropping frames, and shows aspect correct 4:3 with black bars on a 16:9 display? The $30 converters on eBay are crap. Specifically, has anyone tried these KanexPro converters? http://www.kanexpro.com/converters/composite/ |

MagerValp, what is the horizontal output resolution of the RetroTink 2x?
My recipe is a Sony YR-1000 + OSSC, because that way I can get 1:1 c64 pixel vs HDMI pixel mapping. |

I’m not sure, check with Mike Chi in the vgp forum. |

Were you happy with the RetroTink 2x at Datastorm? |

Yes, though I have to play a bit more with it before my final verdict. I could only stay until 9pm on Friday and missed most of the party, but it performed well until then. |

The stream looked like cam-quality. Did you use this new device as a source for the stream like you announced a few post earlier? |

SceneSat couldn't get their capture card to work, so they set up a cam instead. |

I took MagerValp's place and ran all C64 stuff on Datastorm and I am very happy with the quality of the picture. No apparent jerky pic, lag or other disturbing stuff. |

Ok, so does this mean scrollers are smooth and stable and it doesn't try to de-interlace? |
