Introduction
The RetroTINK-5X (RT5X) is an advanced video scaler for connecting retro consoles to
modern HDTVs. Multiple input options: component, SCART RGB, composite and S-video are
accepted. The standard definition processor in the RT5X is capable of decoding NTSC, PAL
and PAL-60 formats. The component and RGB ports can digitize analog high definition video
up to 720p and 1080i. The custom scaler engine is implemented on a FPGA, enabling low-lag
operation with outputs up to 1440p.
Specifications

Due to chipset limitations, 720p and 1080i input resolutions are sampled at 4:2:2. All others
are oversampled to achieve the equivalent of 4:4:4 chroma resolution or greater at the base
sampling rate.
