  Anthony Note: Lots of people commenting on the RetroTINK Short Circuit saying SCART can adapt composite/S-Video and the Koryuu is unnecessary. This is half-true. The problem is with the OSSC - it’s only <b>wired</b> for component/RGB. Those adapters don’t actually convert the signal. Koryuu does.

  This segment of LMG really gets me excited about other directions it may go later on. Because this is fantastic content that I never even thought I needed :)

  That SCART adapter is something everyone already have in their &quot;might be useful in the future&quot; cable box.

  The funny thing about coaxial cable is that the oldschool implementation of it used a very slow clock speed. This really limited its capability. Now in modern settings you can send 4K lossless video over them for up to 80 meters! That&apos;s 12Gbps! Many television studios use this today! Things get even more crazy when you consider high end data centers pushing upwards of 53Gbps on a single coaxial cable!

  Just to give some additional information from Europe where we actually used those plugs: You don&apos;t need additional (active) &nbsp;hardware to get the video signal that goes through the yellow composite plug to work. <br>SCART being the plug of the many pins it not only carries an RGB signal. It also has pins for composite. So all you need is a composite-&gt; SCART adapter. In fact pretty much all consoles in europe shipped with exactly that inside the box because our TVs usually had multiple SCART inputs but at best one composite-in. <br><br>For Gamecube and Wii you then were able to purchase the separate SCART cables which gave you better picture quality because you were actually using the RGB-pins in the SCART cable instead of composite.

  I love the OSSC but Mike Chi knocked it out of the park with the Retro Tink 5x. I love mine.

  It&apos;s worth noting that Mike Chi continues to offer firmware updates with amazing new features. Even this demonstration includes options that were not available when I purchased mine. The Retrotink 5X Pro only gets better with time.

  See, finally something that actually interests me. I have an overwhelming amount of cables, wires, and consoles all interconnected with weird upscaling and deinterlacing filters so my image ends up being recorded as clean as possible, but this might actually be the thing that finally replaces all of that and gives me a simple export image that I can then record painlessly.
