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)
- No cables included - not all VGA cables have pin 9 wired. If you're not getting output, power using USB-C
- Not all cores have support for YC, including some computer cores, pre-release cores, etc.
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

Looks great on a consumer CRT.
The adapter works great, a testament to all the hard work that Mike Simone put into the design with some of the community's help in testing. The case that it comes in from MiSTerAddons is high quality and rugged.
EVERYONES HOULD REPLACE THEIR VGA FOREVER WITH THIS!
Got one of these and it has made s-video work perfectly. Now that Mister natively supports s-video, just get this thing and you'll be all set. Most importantly, my cats have been thrilled with the quality as well.
I was floored at how superior the composite signal is for console games using this device. Everything up to PS1 looks AMAZING. Much better signal and image quality than original hardware. No jail bars in genesis games. Artifacting across all cores is barely there. Unless you are playing arcade games, you don’t need an RGB monitor for fantastic looking games. MiSTer coupled with this device is a small miracle.
