OSSC 1.8 SCART Component VGA to HDMI Scaler Retro Consoles

The BitFunx OSSC V1.8 (Open Source Scan Converter) is the ultimate solution for retro gaming enthusiasts looking to connect their classic consoles to modern displays without losing quality or experiencing input lag. This version 1.8 significantly improves hardware compatibility over previous versions, includes new firmware, and adds advanced features such as HDR mode, CRT shadow mask emulation, and pixel repetition at 1440p for superior visual quality.

The OSSC converts analog signals (SCART, YPbPr, VGA) into digital HDMI output with no perceptible latency, making it ideal for consoles like PlayStation 2, Nintendo 64, PC Engine, Sega Saturn, and many more. Its low-latency design ensures special visual effects such as shadows or transparencies are displayed correctly, without the artifacts or scaling errors of other adapters.

Thanks to its line doubling/tripling/quadrupling scaling system, the OSSC enhances the native resolution of classic consoles, allowing perfect output up to 1080p and even 1440p, provided the monitor supports it. It also converts analog audio to digital and transmits it via HDMI, maintaining a clean and efficient single connection.

Includes remote control, power supply with adapters for different regions, and multilingual manual (including Spanish). Compatible with a wide range of modern TVs and monitors.
