Introducting RetroTINK 2X
OSSC has been on the market for a while now and continues to go from strength to strength with new firmware features being introduced all the time. One feature that can’t be added in firmware updates however is support for new signal types. Analogue video was typically transmitted using composite video, S-Video or RGB. Until now there’s been no affordable, readily available way to add S-Video or composite video support to the OSSC. Now, however, a new, affordable solution is about to hit the market, say hello to the RetroTINK 2X.
RetroTINK 2X - It’s a transcoder
The dinky little RetroTINK measures just 7.5cm by 5cm by 3cm. In that small package, it manages to offer composite video, S-video and component video inputs, as well as stereo audio inputs. These signals can be input and transcoded directly to HDMI.
Connecting the RetroTINK to the OSSC requires a simple HDMI to VGA adapter and we will be selling a kit to do this in our store. We have tested the adapter we will be selling extensively and can confirm it doesn’t add any input lag, nor does it crush blacks or over saturate whites as far as we can tell.
RetroTINK 2X - It’s a line doubler!
Turn the RetroTINK 2X into line double mode and you can enjoy lag free line doubling of your component, composite or s-video sources! While lacking the advanced features of the OSSC, the RetroTINK 2X still does an admirable job, providing a super affordable way to add 240p compatibility to a wide range of televisions.
