As I recall, the 2600 actually has split Chroma and Mid to high priced TVs have Y/C (also known as S-Video or SVHS) inputs. You'd need to output to the 4-pin Y/C cable, but if you do that then it would work with these TVs. It's really quite a shame that so few TVs have Y/C inputs. In my case, I need to run the VCS through what is known as a Time Base Corrector. This is used primarily with analog videotape to compensate for tape stretching which in turn creates variances in the video signal which pro video equipment such as my editing system can't tolerate. One of the things a TBC can do is take a noninterlaced NTSC signal from a videogame and add the interlace back into it. Vertical scrollers like River Raid doesn't look good this way, but at least it will be a broadcast-legal signal. Although my system is composite based, the TBC handles transcoding from Y/C to composite, and this generally yields a better image than going in via composite, which is why I wanted to use a VCS with a Y/C modification. ========================================================= == Glenn Saunders --3D Graphics / Videography / Web development-- == == krishna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/1698 == == Cyberpunks homepage http://cyberpunks.atari.org == ========================================================= -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
