New Kaico OSSC Open Source Scan Converter v1.7 - Kaico Edition

This is an OSSC v1.7 - Newer 2023 Version

The Open Source Scan Converter (OSSC) v1.7 is a versatile and highly regarded open-source hardware device designed primarily for retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors. It is a tool that allows users to enhance the video quality of classic game consoles by upscaling and converting their analogue video signals into a digital format compatible with modern high-definition displays. Below is a detailed description of the OSSC:

 

Purpose and Functionality: The OSSC is primarily used to bridge the gap between older video game consoles, such as the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and even arcade systems, and modern high-definition (HD) or even 4K displays. It accomplishes this by taking analogue video signals and converting them into digital signals that can be displayed on modern screens without the blurriness and artifacts that often plague these older consoles.

 

Open Source and Community-Driven: One of the most distinctive features of the OSSC is that it is an open-source project. This means that the design and software are freely available to the public. As a result, a dedicated community of enthusiasts has contributed to its development, leading to a steady stream of firmware updates and enhancements. Check out https://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/OSSC for the latest discussions as well as hints and tips on how to best use your OSSC.

 

Versatile Input Support: The OSSC is known for its broad compatibility with a wide range of input sources, including SCART, component, and VGA. It can handle signals from numerous game consoles, including those from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, as well as arcade boards and even certain older computers. The OSSC v1.7 Line double supports resolutions of 240p, 288p, 384p, 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i & 1080p.

 

Multiple Output Resolutions: The device offers various output resolutions, allowing users to choose the best output for their display. This flexibility is crucial for achieving the best possible picture quality while minimizing input lag.

 

Line-Doubling and Deinterlacing: The OSSC includes features such as line-doubling and deinterlacing, which help to smooth out jagged edges, reduce flicker, and improve overall image quality. This ensures that the visuals from older game consoles look great on modern screens.

 

Zero Input Lag: Input lag, or the delay between pressing a button and seeing the corresponding action on screen, is a significant concern for gamers. The OSSC is designed to keep input lag at zero, making it a preferred choice for those who demand responsive gameplay.

 

On-Screen Display (OSD): The device features an on-screen menu that allows users to adjust various settings, including resolution, scanlines, aspect ratio, and audio options. This OSD makes it easy to fine-tune the output to suit personal preferences.

 

Audio Support: The OSSC supports various audio input methods, allowing you to connect the audio from your retro console to your modern audio system.

 

Compact and Durable Design: The OSSC is a compact and well-built device, making it easy to integrate into your gaming setup. It's built to last and is known for its reliability.

 

Community Support and Resources: Thanks to its open-source nature, the OSSC has a thriving online community where users share tips, firmware updates, and troubleshooting advice. This makes it accessible and user-friendly for those looking to optimize their retro gaming experience.

 

The Open Source Scan Converter is an essential tool for retro gamers and collectors looking to preserve and enjoy classic gaming experiences on modern displays. Its open-source nature, broad compatibility, and focus on image quality and low input lag make it a highly sought-after device in the retro gaming community.

 

The Open Source Scan Converter V1.7 is an upgraded version of the OSSC v1.6.

 

The upgrades compared to the v.16 model are as follows:

 

  • Injection moulded case.
  • Over voltage protection for when an incorrect power supply is used.
  • redesigned audio switch.
  • Reduced power consumption.
  • Reduced heat build up.

It’s finally here! The ultimate lag-free retro gaming linedoubler and processor hits the market. Now there’s an affordable way to use your retro consoles on your PC monitor or TV in perfect quality. No more bad upscaling, no more interlacing artefacts, no more high input lag, the OSSC is a dream for retro gamers and collectors! WHAT DOES IT DO? Processes (line doubles) retro games with NO input lag – Unlike other scalers, such as the XRGB Mini, the OSSC works on individual scanlines rather than a frame at a time, that means there’s no input lag whatsoever (well, a few nanoseconds if you really want to be precise). Eliminates ugly deinterlacing artefacts and bad scaling – Connect most retro consoles to your TV and if you get a picture at all, it’s likely to be ugly. Well, worry no more! OSSC converts the image into a 480p or 720p (where compatible) image that is correctly displayed and processed. EVERY special effect, from 240p drop shadows to striped sprites, is rendered correctly. Converts SCART and Component to DVI/HDMI – Feed in a 480p component video signal from a Wii and get out a perfectly processed 480p HDMI or DVI (with a simple adapter) image. The quality is flawless! 1 X SCART – Supports RGBs (clean csync, cvideo sync, luma sync), RGsB, Ypbpr 1 X Component video – Supports Ypbpr and RGsB signals Convert VGA to DVI/HDMI – Connect a Dreamcast directly to the unit and enjoy HDMI processing of all your games, not just those that support 480p. Convert analogue audio to digital DVI/HDMI *NEW* – Analogue audio from your retro games console will be converted to digital audio and injected into the HDMI/DVI output (requires compatible TV, processor or AV receiver. Analogue audio output is still available for setups where this is required). TECHNICAL SPECS Inputs 1 X SCART – Supports RGBs (clean csync, cvideo sync, luma sync), RGsB, Ypbpr 1 X Component video – Supports Ypbpr and RGsB signals 1 X D-SUB15 (VGA) – Supports RGBHV, RGBs, RGsB, Ypbpr 2 x 3.5mm analogue audio – Supports all analogue audio. Input 1 can be toggled between output (from AV1/SCART) or input Composite video and S-Video are NOT supported and require an adapter/transcoder Outputs 1 X HDMI or DVI-D (with adapter) (digital only, including audio). Full-range 24-bit RGB output through DVI/HDMI 1 X Analogue audio 3.5mm (input/output toggle) Supported Input Resolutions 240p/288p/480i/576i 15khz 25Khz medium-res modes 480p/576p/720p/1080i 31khz Supported output resolutions OTHER FEATURES • Back lit LCD • SD Card socket for firmware updates • JTAG connector • IR receiver • Power requirements: DC 5V 1 Amp – 2.1 x 5.5mm positive tip • Power Adaptor with Multiple Plugs Included • Full OSSC User's Manual
