Advanced 'Zero Lag' Scan Converter HDMI Adapter works with the Amiga & Commodore 64, Sony PS2, SEGA Saturn, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Mega Drive/Genesis and most Retro Game Consoles!
The OSSC V1.8 (Open Source Scan Converter) is the perfect answer for retro gaming fans who want to link their vintage consoles to modern TV screens, all while maintaining high quality and without experiencing input lag.
Version 1.8 greatly enhances hardware compatibility compared to earlier iterations. It introduces updated firmware and brings in advanced features, including HDR mode, emulation of CRT shadow masks, and pixel repetition at 1440p to deliver exceptional visual quality.
The OSSC transforms analog signals (like SCART, YPbPr, and VGA) into digital HDMI output seamlessly, without noticeable delays. This feature makes it perfect for gaming consoles such as the PlayStation 2, Amiga, Commodore 64, Nintendo 64, PC Engine, Sega Saturn, and others. Its efficient low-latency architecture guarantees accurate rendering of special visual effects, such as shadows and transparencies, without the artifacts or scaling issues found in other adapters.
The OSSC utilizes a scaling system that doubles, triples, or quadruples the original resolution of vintage consoles, enabling flawless output at resolutions of up to 1080p and, if the monitor allows, even 1440p. Additionally, it digitizes analog audio and sends it through HDMI, ensuring a clear and streamlined single connection.
Includes remote control, universal power supply and suser-guide.
Compatible with all modern TVs and monitors.
