CleanRGB Universal (RGB Video Out) for NES, SNES, N64 and Genesis

Following on from the massive success of the Atari 2600 CleanComp and the CleanComp Universal, RetroSix focused their attention on the beautiful world of RGB!

Just like composite, they found just as many problems in the RGB modding world, primarily the use of capacitors and AC coupling video signals. Combine that with incorrect impedance and voltage levels, confusing "smart RGB cables" with sync strippers, capacitors and resistors baked in all trying to patch up video problems, they knew they had to step in and clean this mess up.

The CleanRGB firstly removes all AC components and is an entirely DC active circuit, using a unique circuit designed by RetroSix, perfected and tested on dozens of variants of retro consoles.

Removing the AC instantly cleans up noise, field tilt, droop, some ghosting and many other artifacts.

With the AC component gone, the CleanRGB can tune and adjust the voltage offset (the thing the capacitors were doing) using an active DC feedback circuit to remove all offset from the signal, cleanly.

Finally, the end signal can be reduced or gained to give perfect IRE levels (brightness, saturation and so on) as well as each color channel shifted to allow for color and tone correction if the console is not correctly tuned.

The output is then correctly filtered to remove all remaining non-video signal noise, and with 75-ohm impedance per specification.

The CleanRGB can be used on any console that has native RGB and Sync signals present in their hardware, such as SNES, Neo Geo AES, Genesis I, Genesis II and many more.

• Active DC offset removal (no caps, clean op amp removal)
• Divide / Gain boost to tune the RGB signals both up and down in amplitude
• Butterworth bandpass filter on output
• Optional anti-alias filter
• 4 independent channels (For R, G, B and Sync)
