Fair enough. If no one knows for sure, I'll step up and take one for the team. Once my new credit card arrives I lost the old one, new number and what not I'll make it happen.
It should be here any day. It'd be nice to give something back to gamesx for a change. Hopefully the processing delays are minimal. They seem to market it towards video game applications so it would seem logical. Its nice to see upscalers and transcoders more readily available. It seems some of those fancy fixed pixel LCD and Plasma displays don't always do a good job with non-native video sizes.
On a side note I ordered it and it should be on it's way orders before 2 ship same day, mine was at I'll do a review as soon as I can. It'll be a race to find out what I'll be trying first. I'm building my supergun but I don't have a controller built yet for it. So if I get the joystick done first, we'll be doing some Street Fighter I action.
So if that gets done first, it's Necronomicon Digital Pinball time. So we'll see how this plays out. Funny thing is, if it came right this second I'd have nothing to test it with. I hate Shmup! They keep recommending me interesting deinterlacers, lol! For a bit more than the price of a Jrok, I would be covering the whole thing, so I figured why not.
The loser would be sold, that was my plan. I'll cut to the bad news first. I kinda figured this out even before I bought this, because they mentioned adaptive deinterlacing. For movie contents, it literally murders HD Box Pro.
Also, because the CM uses motion adaptive deinterlacing, there is no jumpy pictures unlike HD Box Pro when things get stationary.
The CM does not accept progressive scan input btw, it will just bloat the picture up, making it unwatchable. Thus, it can only be used with interlaced sources. RGB with composite sync works too, but for some reason, the contrast is extremely dark.
Now, for the deal breaking parts. There is only one default setting for the CM No remote, no buttons to adjust pictures, nada. Even with the P sources, the picture is very stable, in fact, way too stable for its own good. I tested it with Real Bout Fatal Fury, and Jin Chonshu's teleport moves, Kim's phoenix kick, and such will not come with shadows and flickers.
The framerate is a bit jerky as well. Not too noticable when reasonably far, but this will surely be annoying to some people. Weaving when action gets heavy is just as bad as the Playstation3. In the end, there was no clear winner.
HD Box Pro will happily produce flickering shadows at the expense of jumpy pictures. However, they are only really noticable in mostly stationary state and they get much harder to spot when action gets intense. However, the picture itself is a bit blurry, colors are a bit washed out.
Even though it supports progressive scan transcoding and there are many scaling resolutions to choose from, the quality leaves much to be desired. If you want sharp, vivid image quality even from the classic consoles, the CM is worth a look. However, it may not be ideal for the Neo because the flickers are gone.
I absolutely abhor weaving and this unit surely did drive me crazy with the weaving. However, I decided to keep this unit simply because this was the most economical way for me to enjoy my classic consoles. I don't really play PS2 games, that's why. You'll be happy with either units. I didn't feel laggy with either units although I do have to measure it.
I have Rock Band, is that good enough? Neither unit will linedouble p games, although HD Box Pro does a decent job of alleviating it. Neither has scanline emulation of the famed X-RGB2, so the picture will look emu-ish.
So make your choice based on your priorities. Flickers and no weaving, HD Box Pro. No blurry interpolated pictures, CM Anyways, make sure your Regza accepts PC resolutions if you feel that TV's scaling is not good enough.
Neither boxes upscales to explicit p and p resolutions. I should get to test for lag, but I'm not sure if Rock band is good enough..
Is this my only option? Bumping it up, converted the question thread into a not-really-a-review-review. Different devices that output RGBS have different characteristics. Like I've mentioned before, I had to use a device to generate a new sync for a "Street Fighter: The Movie" arcade board so that I could get a stable picture.
Also, are you feeding the RGB output from any of your arcade boards through a series resistor e. You might have to build a LM sync stripping circuit to clean up the sync? Using technology previously available only to film directors and video professionals, users can be greatly benefited from the advanced technology of de-interlacing, detail enhancement and noise reduction, receiving the highest quality graphics, fine text and crisp picture for visual presentations, post production and professional video applications.
Both digital and analog inputs are format converted and pixel re-scaled to deliver the highest quality graphics, fine text and crisp HD video. Analog Digital Video Cross Conversion This unit supports wide range of HD and computer output resolutions in both digital and analog formats.
Detail Enhancement with Cinema Quality Watching standard-definition SD images on HD displays often produces a blurring effect resulting in a disappointing visual experience. The featured detail enhancement function of this video processor will greatly help user improve the image detail on a pixel-by-pixel basis, delivering sharper and clear images.
Easy Operation And Setup This unit provides easy manual operation via push buttons on the front panel or remote controller supplied.
All functions can be accessed through the on-screen OSD menu. All the control functions available includes:. The 3D noise reduction function helps remove the unwanted artifacts resulting from analog to DV and DV-to-analog conversion and produce the clearest picture while maintaining fine image details. Great replacement display solution for those older CGA type RGB equipments or video devices with component video outputs.
If users want to use the modern LCD flat panel display for their legacy RGB source, this converter provides the right solution. Glitch-free conversion with high resolution output display of sharp frames and fine pixels.
