Notch Filter Composite to S-Video Converter - Better than Comb for Retro Gaming For Sale

- Great for playing retro consoles on a CRT with S-Video input!- Custom Multi-Stage Notch Filter to reduce dot artifacts as much as possible, even more than built-in notch filters on CRTs and Scalers.- All analog, no delay. Made for NTSC Video signals.- Knob for adjusting Sharpness. Allows adjusting filter to be as sharp as possible without introducing dot artifacts on your particular setup.- Works with any composite video device. Tested on: NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Genesis, and more.- Powered by a USB-C cable, included with purchase. There is a power LED inside that you can see through the holes in the top that turns on when plugged in. NOTE: Not all USB-C power supplies and/or cables work with the device. If you are having trouble getting the device to power on, try different cables and power supplies. USB-C Power supply models confirmed to work are SM20CQ-R1 on Amazon, F002 on aliexpress and PD-20W S6-QC18-ETL on Amazon. You can also get a USB-A to USB-C adapter such as a UGREEN one or a generic one.- Does NOT come with an S-Video cable, you must purchase that separately. I recommend a good quality shielded cable.Use cases include:- You want/need to use composite but don\'t want the extra dot artifacts caused by your CRT\'s built-in Comb or Notch filter.- Your Scaler/Capture Device uses a Comb filter for composite input, or a poor quality Notch filter or you are unsure of the filter it uses, and you want to ensure a good Notch filter is used for composite decoding.- Your console does not have S-Video output and you want to use the S-Video input of your CRT/Scaler/Video Switch.The majority of CRTs built after the 80s have a comb filter for composite video decoding, which introduces undesirable dot artifacts when used with retro game consoles. This converter uses the original type of decoder, the notch filter, which produces better picture for retro games. See comparison photos for examples of the difference this makes.**Disclaimer** A notch filter does not remove all dot artifacts but is a drastic improvement over most comb filters for retro gaming.**Disclaimer 2** Some CRTs do extra filtering and processing on their S-Video inputs and this will impact the performance of this filter. You may not get the same results as I have with some TVs. Be warned.When it comes to scalers, some of the ones out there have either no option to pick between notch and comb filters, or they don\'t indicate which they use at all. Using this ensures that the decoding is happening using a notch filter that is intended for use with retro game consoles.IMPORTANT NOTE: Your CRT or scaler MUST have S-Video input to take advantage of this converter.480i Note: This filter does a good job with 480i content as well, though it is not designed for this resolution and you may see unwanted dot crawl compared to a very high quality comb filter. In my tests, this filter is better than a typical comb filter or notch filter in a CRT for 480i content, but your experience may differ.
