Downscaling Chronicles 13: Ultracade uVC Universal Video Converter. Output 240p 15KHz and 384p 24KHz
One of the RAREST Downscalers just got chronicled. The Ultracade Universal Video Converter (uVC) was designed to downscale PC’s to tri-sync arcade cabinets. The final PCB revision was released in 2005, and given how infrequently these are sold on the second hand market, the uVC was so sparingly documented for lag and overall resolution handling. Until now… How does it compare to another ancient downscaler, the Extron Emotia, and the current reigning champion, the OSSC Pro? All will be unveiled in the 13th episode of the Downscaling Chronicles.
