Title: Wanted: RGB amps
Post by: Duo_R on January 21, 2015, 05:48:56 PM: I'm short on time these days so don't have to build some RGB amps. Anyone selling these still?

Note - I am in need of RGB amps not component as I am using RGB for video capture.

Using a RGB TO HDMI for video capture looks terrible. Now I realize upping to HDMI is going to impact PQ a little and I'm ok with that, but the signal has a lot of artifacts. I'm thinking the Rgb to HDMI box does not like composite sync.

At first I thought maybe I need a new Amp, but perhaps this is a composite sync issue? Thoughts on what to try here? I have seen this same RGB to HDMI box used on a Genesis and the signal looks flawless,
But on Duo it looks like balls. I know they have different resolutions, but I'm seeing a lot of dot crawl witch is why I am suspecting the sync line being the issue.
