    TORO - ADVANCED 3in1 VIDEO BOX FOR THE DREAMCAST

    tt.jpg

    From the designer of HANZO & KURO VGA boxes, HERE COMES A NEW CHAMPION!

    MULTI VIDEO SYNC SYSTEM : Both CSYNC and H&V SYNC modes supported
    Scart connector can output RGBS (CSYNC) (Euro Scart) (480i+480p for the XRGB)
    VGA connector can output RGBS or RGBHV (selectable via switch button)

    AUTO     SYNC COMBINER FOR THE UPSCALERS AND MONITORS
    Now you can use your Dreamcast with the XRGB Mini without any additional sync combiner devices!

    SCANLINER FUNCTION
    You can add scanlines and choose even/odd scanlines !

    15KHZ / 31KHZ MODE SELECTION SWITCH
    Both RGB and VGA modes supported for full compatibility! XRGB can be fed with 15/31khz through Scart...

    RCA JACKS FOR STEREO AUDIO
    Clearest possible...



    TO BE LAUNCHED SOON...

    Why not face the scart connector the other direction?

    Looks great! I agree that it would be nicer if the scart connector was on the other side of the board so it faced the same direction as the other outputs. Not really a deal breaker though. I will probably pick one up when they go for sale.

    Nice work! I'll probably have to pick one up depending on price. I was wondering why the Dreamcast wasn't working with my XRGB mini via SCART, but had placed the blame on my cheap cable.

    It should work fine with a regular SCART cable, but you'll only get 480i. With VGA-> Combined Sync, you get 480p.

    I am excited. Will this work on a PVM 20l5 (and specifically, display in 31khz since that particular PVM supports 31khz frequency? Just needs the sync combined)

    Yes, it outputs 15 and 31khz through VGA and Scart connectors. There is a switch to select.

    @beharius Will it be possible to add a HDMI Port? Combine the Audio and Video signal into in to one port?

    [​IMG]

    Would it be nice to combine this into Hanzo or Toro?

    Thanks.

    I can change your order if you want.



    I have currently 3 testers all around the world, in Japan, in Germany and in the USA. I hope for the future products we can work.
    actually Toro is working fine however they have a privilege to test it first...
    until that time they will be built to be shipped from stock immediately.
