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.

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).
