RetroTINK 5X-Pro

We are proud to offer the RetroTINK-5X Pro, our first FPGA-powered device that introduces a few landmark accomplishments for bridging retro consoles to modern TVs:

• The first automatic optimal phase algorithm to produce the sharpest image with zero adjustments needed beyond selecting the base mode.
• The first custom developed FPGA-based Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing algorithm specifically for games to make 480i titles shine without adding lag or flicker.
• The first high resolution (1080p and above) video scaler that is capable of covering virtually all analog inputs: composite, S-video, component and RGB out of the box.
• Fully compliant CEA-861 standard 1080p modes to maximize compatibility across displays and capture cards.
• High quality polyphase scaling at both integer and non-integer factors for sharp pixels without shimmer.
• Seamless handling of resolution switches for drop free gaming on titles that switch between 240p and 480i.

The full specifications include:

• Input Ports: Composite (shared with green RCA jack), S-Video, Component, RGB and Composite on SCART connector
• Output Port: Digital Video to HDTV
• Source Resolutions: 240p/480i, 288p/576i, 480p, 720p*, 1080i*
• Output Resolutions: 480p, 720p, 768p, 1080p, 1200p, 1440p°
• Input Filtering: Selectable low-pass filter for noise reduction
• Composite and S-Video Standards: NTSC, PAL, PAL-60, composite video is decoded with a high-quality comb filter to minimize dot artifacts or a notch filter for a vintage look
• Decoder: High quality comb filter that minimizes composite artifacts or notch filter for a vintage look.
• Optimal Sampling Modes: SNES/TG16 256, Genesis/Saturn/PS1 320, NEOGEO 320, N64 386, Saturn 352, PS1 384 in 240p. 288p counterparts to be added later.
• Scaler: Polyphase interpolation (Bilinear Sharp and Bilinear)
• Deinterlacer: Motion Adaptive, Weave, Bob, Blend, CRT simulation
• Scanline Generation: Multiple types, adjustable intensity
• Latency: ~0.25 frames in Framelock, 0.25 to 1.25 frames in Triple Buffering
• Power: microUSB

*720p and 1080i inputs are chroma limited. All other input resolutions preserve the full original chroma bandwidth. 1080i inputs use 'Bob' deinterlacing, 480i/576i inputs can utilize all deinterlacer modes.

°Not all TVs/displays will be compatible with 1440p. The RetroTINK-5X Pro uses 1920 x 1440p CVT reduced blanking timings. 1440p mode is only available for 240p/480i/480p sources.
