Arcadeforge Scanlines SLG3000 V2 Generator

In modern games, the lack of scanlines is not a problem but in retro games with their pixel-based graphics, scanlines are of vital importance. They make the image look sharper, giving more clarity to 2D images. Getting this type of image on a LCD / TFT monitor was, until recently, impossible since scanlines are an integral part of how CRT technology works.

The objective of the SLG3000 V2 board is to generate scanlines like those of the old CRT TVs in VGA 640 x 480 / 800 x 600 resolutions on CRT, LCD ,TFT or Plasma displays.

The SLG3000 scanline generator supports any image that is VGA at 31Khz or higher. This includes video game systems such as the Dreamcast, XBox360 or PCs emulation with a standard graphics card.

How to connect our classic consoles to the SLG3000

In case we want to connect a classic console such as the Megadrive/Genesis, Super Nintendo, Playstation 1, Sega Saturn or any console at 240p 15khz RGB output, with a good quality video image we recommend you to connect a CGA to VGA scaler such as the GBS8200 . If we connect the console directly to a modern TV, with no scaler in between, we will see a rather blurry image with very poor quality. In this case, the connection order would be: Console - Scaler GBS8200 - SLG3000 - TV.

The SLG3000 board has a VGA input and output through which we will connect our classic console to the TV. To do this we will need our monitor to have VGA input. In the event that our TV only has DVI / HDMI input we must use a VGA to DVI / HDMI adapter.

The SLG3000 Scanline Generator is Plug & Play and does not require any external power supply. By simply connecting it to the VGA input and output, the SLG3000 board is up and running. The board also has a potentiometer to adjust the density of the scanlines progressively and 2 DIP switches to adjust the polarity of the scanlines. In addition, the generator has an off and on switch

In the following LINK we have included a manual in English explaining possible configurations and all the necessary information for a correct operation of the SLG3000.
