MiSTer FPGA YC Active Encoder Board

The functionality of YC Active has been integrated into IO Analog Pro and IO Direct!

Buy this for use with official IO boards (with VGA), and Analogizer.

Includes a short VGA cable (with pin 9 connected for 5V power)

• Outputs S-video (Y/C) and composite video simultaneously
• Active Luma trap for cleanest composite video possible on MiSTer
• Tuned for NTSC but works with PAL
• Switch to toggle between direct video, and IO board input (position closest to VGA input = Direct Video input)
• VGA connector is HD-15 female (VGA cable needed to connect to the IO board or direct video adapter)
• 5V in from USB-C or VGA Pin 9 (set jumper to 5V on IO board behind VGA port)
• Not all cores have support for YC, including some computer cores, pre-release cores, etc.
• Not compatible with PC

NTSC MiSTer.ini settings:

• vga_mode=svideo
• ntsc_mode=0
• composite_sync=1

PAL MiSTer.ini settings:

• vga_mode=svideo
• ntsc_mode=0
• composite_sync=1
• menu_pal=0

Note: menu core sometimes doesn’t have color. This is likely a yc.txt issue on the software side.
