Resolutionwhich is the pixel space of the image. For example, 720x480 for NTSC video and 480i Component video and 720x576 for PAL video and 576i Component video. These are standards supported across LZX equipment. 1920x1080 for 1080i or 1080p formats would be another display resolution.
I ended up with a pretty messy device workflow since I had to use a HDMI > component downscaler to convert to RGB to use with my visual cortex. However, as a general purpose upscaler this guy seems to be great. It has a very nice smoothing function built in that removes any interlace jaggies from the output.

OSSC does not support composite video (3 RCA 1 for picture two for sound) or S-video connections unless used with a Koryuu or similar converter. NOT compatible with VHS or laserdisc players! OSSC is strongly NOT recommended for use with VHS players, even when used with a transcoder like Koryuu. OSSC is optimised for video games not movie content, there are far more suitable converters on the market for VHS players.
This is an absolutely amazing device and VGP delivers the goods! I use it primarily to get an Amiga 500 to my HDTV and it does not disappoint. The creator has provided a lot of support into this with firmware updates and it is greatly appreciated. I really like the fact that audio can be inserted via SCART and then outputted via 3.5mm audio jack with a toggle of the switch. The picture quality is just superb and the lag free experience is excellent. Matt of VGP is a gentleman and answers emails personally which is a refreshing thing these days. I cannot speak highly enough about the product and the experience. Best purchase for me of the year!
No wonder I bought this miracle upscaler, since Framemaster has already ceased production in Japan, but OSSC does not remain from its competitor and shows good results, the only difference is in price and in fillings.
Thing is great, worth the money, numerous functions and more. Suitable for anyone who wants to improve the picture from their retro consoles to the exact pixel!
Using the OSSC with my Amiga CD32 and Sega Mega Drive via RGB Scart + with my Sony PSP via Component and never thought to get such a pixel perfect quality out of those (old) devices. Both my Eizo computer monitor and my LG OLED TV have no trouble to accept even the highest line-doubled output signals.
Thanks a lot, the OSSC was really worth it!
Woah. I was a bit skeptical about being able to hook up my SNES to a UHD monitor, but it works. so. damn. well! Seriously blown away by the quality and especially the complete lack of lag compared to my last setup.
For reference (for the googlers). I have a 1chip-01 SNES, SCART SNES cable, an LG 32UD59-B monitor, and I use an Elgato 4k60 Pro. Everything runs smooth and streaming with it works flawlessly.
The conversion looks great (my snes looked like butt with the standard converters). More importantly they STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. My first unit was defective and they shipped me a new one promptly after receiving the defective unit. Appreciated the quick communication, and prompt shipping.
Works great with a little cheap magnovox tv, (19mf1377b usa model) actually works with snes on all resolutions. Doesnt work with my 75xbr900e 4k with snes but works with the sega genesis (megadrive). However the snes works with tv if im connected thru my av receiver marantz sr6010. I am extremely happy and it is a big upgrade over the cheap scart to hdmi converter.
In portuguese:
No tenho palavras para descrever o quo bonito a imagem do meu Mega Drive e Super Nintendo. Ambos funcionam limpo e ntido no modo line5x com o cabo RGB SCART da retrogamingcables. Minha TV Sony XBR-55X855C no apresentou nenhum problema e amplia a imagem muito bem. Obrigado pelo excelente trabalho no OSSC!
The OSSC works perfectly with my beamer in pretty much every mode, my preference being my SNES in Linex3. The picture is really clean and beautiful, and I can finally correct the aspect ratio to my liking (horizontally stretched circles can make a game unplayable for me).
I highly recommend checking out the OSSC, as soon as my other cables arrive I will test it out with the Mega Drive and the Gamecube.
Where to even start? I was having issues with a Scart to HDMI for a RGB modded N64 (with de-blur switch). In the fact that when I turned it on for the first time on my 4K 60 inch LG TV, I wanted to burn my eyes out, such was the horrific quality of picture!
One thing to note is there is no instructions on how to set this up so i downloaded the PDF manual online and was ready to go. First impressions are good the OSSC looks very well made and i like how bright the LCD screen is which you can also turn off by pressing the power button on the remote if it bothers you that much.
The PS2 looks crystal clear Super Nintendo looks super sharp
( 1 chip model ). Its funny because i was playing Super Mario Kart and i was playing much better now connected via the OSSC because of its zero lag it certainly is great to see no lag so games that require quick reactions will be avoided easier.
Just remember though just because one game looks great on X4 interlace or passthrough mode that does not mean every game on every console will look just as good you will need to keep tweaking settings to get the best visual presentation of any console you play keep a note of the settings and save it to the OSSC
I had an opportunity to purchase one from the third batch and it has exceeded my expectations. I found it easy to set up, and the color and sharpness just in the linedoubling is fantastic. If you have been getting into rgb you know there is a lot to it. Making sure your display is low lag, that consoles are rgb modded if needed, and that you have good high quality scart cables are a must. This product is the icing on the cake for me.
Has anyone had an issue with this? My Wii loads to the Channels Menu, but if I try to access the settings menu or any channels the screen goes black. If I press the home button on the Wii remote, however, the Wii menu and Control Options screen comes up. I was able to change the screen settings to 480p widescreen by pressing the Home button and slowly working my way through the settings. Changing to 480p widescreen stabilized the Channels Menu, the original Wii settings caused the TV to blink repeatedly until it just stayed black....
There is a button combination (Z+ A + 2) that enabled all games to run at 480p when using a component cable (component interlace mode). Before I did this certain game (such as Super Metroid and Sonic the Hedgehog) would not display in exactly the way you are describing. It may be worth trying this out to get the Wii to display properly at 480p, then run it through your upscaler.
@wii_problems Honestly, I'd advise against HDMI adapters for the Wii. Just get a good set of component cables, which always works without problems, and they don't distort/stretch or over-saturate the picture, like the more cheaper HDMI upscalers often do. The adapter/upscaler you have is also of the cheap kind, and you simply can't expect too much from them. A real, quality HDMI upscaler (those are the ones with their own, external power source) for older consoles will cost you WAY more than 15 bucks, but you'd have to decide for yourself if you'd want to invest that much for a Wii, and I reckon that for most people, the answer is probably no.
So, I would go for component cables instead. It works more than well enough for a console like the Wii, and they're cheaper as well: component cables shouldn't cost you more than 10 bucks, so well worth the trouble, and you'll never have to tinker with any settings again.
On a side note: on an HD or UHD TV, the Wii should be set to 480p by default, so there's no reason to have it on any other setting than that. And with the right cables, all games will then display and run like they should.
Here you go: -Component-Cable-Definition-Nint...
Just get those, and then switch between those and the HDMI upscaler, and you'll see what I mean. The stretching of the image is already visible in the home menu, and the color of the image is also different.
The pins on the plugs of the component cables are gold-plated, which gives the best and clear result in picture quality, while doing it in a native way, instead of upscaling/distorting the image, like an HDMI upscaler does.
@Gamecuber I had that exact adapter, but ultimately, I gave it away, because I got a better picture out of component cables, and when using the adapter, I lost part of the picture in certain games, because the image was stretched, which was even already visible in the home menu.
@ThanosReXXX I had other issues with it; when i was playing some games the image was so dark that certain things disappeared completely (such as going it to the first cave on Legend of Zelda; the old man was invisible).
I would love to stick with the official component cables that I used for years, but the only TV in the house that has that input is in the lounge where my wife tends to watch TV. My TV in the den doesn't have component inputs, so I have to use composite (yuck!) or the RGB SCART cable. It looks ok, but for Wii games I tend to play through my Wii U on HDMI.
However, when plugged into my CRT TV next it, Wii looks great through RGB SCART, especially virtual console games. Plus it is displayed 4:3 as well, so even better for that good old retro feeling. Non plugs available on it at the moment; I have a 3 to 1 SCART adapter taken up with a PS2, OG XBOX and Gamecube at the moment!
