This is an OSSC v1.8 – Newer 2023 Version
The Open Source Scan Converter (OSSC) v1.8 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.
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 v1.8 Line double supports resolutions of 240p, 288p, 384p, 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i & 1080p.
