Following on from the massive success of the Atari 2600 CleanComp and the CleanComp Universal, we focused our attention on the beautiful world of RGB!
Mega Drive CleanRGB Mod retrosix.co.uk/Mega-Drive-2-CleanRGB-p794989899
Paired perfectly with our CleanRGB SCART Cable for Mega Drive 2 retrosix.co.uk/Mega-Drive-2-Genesis-2-CleanRGB-SCART-RGB-Cable-p794989944
Just like composite, we 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, we knew we 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.
This CleanRGB has been pre-configured and tuned perfectly for all Mega Drive 2 variants.
Simply solder in following the install guides can be used on any Mega Drive 2 / Genesis 2.
We strongly recommend pairing this mod with our CleanRGB AV cable. Our CleanRGB cables are fully shielded, have no magic inside, just clean straight through cables onto a custom PCB, and high quality ultrasonic welded SCART cable.
