This can be pretty complicated and confusing, so I’d suggest this as an expert option. In most cases, you’d just add this as the last piece of equipment before your display. Many (if not all) Sony monitors that support 480p have this option.Įxtron Rxi boxes will automatically convert RGsB to either RGBs or RGBHV, without any intervention at all. Some 480p capable RGB monitors can accept a RGsB signal, simply by toggling the external sync button off when RGsB is enabled. That means simply plugging in an RGB SCART cable will get your RGBs in all resolutions – Just make sure to toggle the correct jumpers when setting up the gscartsw. The latest version of the gscartsw will automatically convert RGsB to RGBs when it’s in 480p mode. That’s it, nothing crazy, just toggle inputs based on 480i or 480p. There are a few ways to use RGsB and there’s a chance you already have equipment that supports it!:ĭevices like the OSSC will accept RGsB from a PS2, simply by switching the input after 480p mode is selected (or set the OSSC to auto scan the inputs). If you’re not familiar with these “sync” terms, I suggest reading though the sync page. Once the console switches to 480p output, the signal changes to RGsB, or “sync on green” In this mode, the sync signal is sent over the green color line and nothing is outputted from cvbs or luma. When the PlayStation 2 is set to RGB output ( not component), it outputs standard RGB with sync over the composite video or luma line in 240p/480i modes. Alternatively, the RGB SCART cables linked above have a composite video breakout on it, which might be easier for your overall setup. – If you like to play light gun games, you can try to find something like an SCPH-1160 to break out composite video, then send component through to your cables. – If your CRT only supports 15KHz signals (240p and 480i), use whichever cable is easiest both will look the same. This would only be beneficial if you have target devices that can accept both RGB and YPbPr over their SCART inputs. Using RGB SCART makes things complicated if you play games that are 480p More on this below in the “sync on green” section.ĭeepening on your setup, you can even run component video through an RGB SCART cable, by simply switching video modes in the menu. – If you’re setup is 100% RGB SCART, it might be functionally easier to use a SCART cable. – You’re going directly into a display or processor that doesn’t accept component video. There’s only a few very specific scenario’s I’d recommend using RGB SCART with the PS2:

Overall, using a quality set of component video cables will be the best solution for most people. In almost all cases, if you’re gaming on a flat-panel, it’s best to just use a component video cable and scaler (links below). HDMI Cables: At the moment, no plug-and-play HDMI cable supports all resolutions from the PS2. Sony Playstation RGB SCART Cable – (US Seller, offers composite video pigtail for light gun games)
