QL with OSSC

Post by robheaton »

Earlier this week I treated myself to an OSSC. (Open Source Scan Converter) - http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php?title=OSSC
I've set this up today with the QL and here is the output;
QLOSSC
QLOSSC

The shimmer effect is down to the camera, it's not visible on the screen, changing the aspect ratio to 16:9 looses the sides of the image, but 4:3 is perfect, the text is really really crisp and there is no colour bleed.

The OSSC isn't cheap at £119, but I've tried it with several computers and consoles this week and the picture quality is stunning! :D

Yes, the OSSC is the best scan converter less than £300 and works a treat with the QL.

I think I posted about it here last year.

Did you tweak any settings on the OSSC?
I'm just using the defaults.

It's a good idea to tweak the output processing to "Line4x" for teh QL's resolution and in "Sampling Opt" "Allow TVP HPLL2x: On". These will output a higher resolution signal to the TV which will then not try to post-process and upscale itself. The OSSC does a far better job.
