Commodore Golden TV Scart Cable (S-Video, StereoSID, Chroma Modification V2.0 + Audio Noise Removal)

Golden TV SCART Cable (PAL/NTSC) that works with any Commodore 64 or Commodore 128.

While this item has similar features compared to the Deluxe TV SCART Cable already listed here on AmiBay, it also features a robust round gold cable (which is pretty appealing and looks great) and a stronger Chroma modification which furtherly improves compatibility with newer LCD televisions. It is longer, too.

Features as follows:
• S-VIDEO:
Also known as S-VHS, represent the best video mode when it comes to C64/C128 systems

• CHROMA MODIFICATION (V2.0):
Improves compatibility with newer LCD TVs. Compared to the Deluxe TV SCART Cable, the Chroma Modification was made stronger in order to furtherly accomodate the S-Video signal to standards. Of course, the Cable will also work with classic CRT TVs
• CHROMAREVO (http://imageshack.us/a/img855/3156/newiconred.png):
ChromaREVO makes possible to display S-Video on TVs which fail to display it even using the Chroma Modification. If you think that you own a troublesome TV (or you are unsure about its capabilities) request ChromaREVO instead of Chroma Modification: its benefits applies to both CRT and LCD TVs and it has been proved to just work everywhere

• STEREOSID (DUAL MONO):
The audio output is doubled to both Left (L) and Right (R) channels. This modification is rather simple but pretty important as several TVs will not upmix the mono signal coming out from the SID
• AUDIO NOISE REMOVAL (SID ANTI-NOISE):
Thanks to the usage of an appropriate capacitor noises, hisses and hums are erased

• STRONG:
DIN Connector internally potted with silicone in order to resist against traction and intense use
• HIGH QUALITY:
Soldering done with Audio Grade Solder for optimal conductivity and highest quality of the signals

Just come the cable after a loooooong wait ...
how about ... just check my screenshots ....


this is the result, all white perimeters have a purple lines , and the black have dirty lines on the back ground....
and the monitor make a background noise ...

It looks like the Chroma Modification is not enough for your LCD TV. Dunno if attenuating it even more would help, PMed you in order to know better about this issue.

It seems that your TV handles S-Video but C64 Chrominance is still too strong.

I dont know ogre but... I tried the cable on 3 different TV
1)LG Flatron LCD 24'' full hd 1080p (purple and black whit strange effects and noise audio)
2)Sony Bravia LCD 42'' HD 1080i (purple and black with strange effect and noise audio)

3)Panasonic Viera 65'' 3D Full HD 1080p better on this only some purple and green on the top of the screen

I dont know what tv use the other guys but on lcd & plasma ... there are problems with croma colors

Thank you for the having test it on different LCDs, a replacement with a different Golden Cable is on your way.

tank you:thumbsup:

I've been using mine with the XRGB Mini, a Sony 40" inch LCD and a Cambridge Audio amp, quality is spectacular, close to RGB with very minimal ghosting on the image (like, stick your nose up to the screen to see it ghosting). There's a tiny, tiny tiny bit of audio noise if I crank the amp right up, but absolutely minimal and way less than my old cable. In fact it was so quiet when I first used it I thought sound was not working :)

Highly recommended!

Since Chrominance is too strong for these TVs, the aberration of the signal causes the white noise you're hearing.

Well, these days I've been testing something that was able to display S-Video on a cheap LCD display which always refused to display it and same applies for a Sony Triniton CRT. Can't say more at the moment but I wasn't able to believe my eyes. tlosm is gonna test it :)


Cheers,
Oge

Did some tests on a problematic CRT and it works. The difference in quality is huge but, more important, on a LCD it would have meant from "no picture" to "proper picture".

Pre:

Cheap CRT TV displaying Luminance only, even though S-Video is connected. The presence of colours is caused by Chrominance leakage. Notice how the image is grainy. Cyan is contamined with Pink, an issue which is more evident on TVs where Chrominance is partially displayed and mess up colours.

After:

The same cheap CRT TV, finally displaying proper S-Video. Waves are caused by cheap cellphone camera.

Oge

Thank you Ogre ... this time the cable is perfect, i can see everything good on every TV !!!!!

I'm very glad that it worked!! :thumbsup:

From now this feature is called ChromaREVO and is available and requestable without additional costs.

If possible, please post some screenshots of your LCD TVs.


Cheers,
Oge

I am interested in the latest incarnation of your cable. Sending private message...

Hello,

I'm interested in buying 2 cables:
-the last revision of the "commodore golden TV scart cable"
-the amiga cable (the white special cable)

(PS:I don't own lcd screen,I will use only on old CRT TV)

Let me know please
thanks

Payment sent. :beer:

Payment sent :)

I can confirm that ChromaREVO has been working on 12/12 TVs which had troubles when it came to C64 and S-Video.


Cheers,
Oge

amiga and C64 cables received.
The picture is very good on my old CRT TV
I send you a positive feedback
Thank you very much

Declaring interest for the cable.

I am now using a DIN to RCA cable (classic yellow, red and white) connected to a LED 22" Samsung TV/Monitor by the AV composite video input. Would I have any improvement using this cable? I mean the video quality now is good enough but not 100% satisfying.

Thanks.

PM on the way to cecamon.


Cheers,
Oge
