(Optionally you can use breakout to separate chroma/luma for use with certain Commodore and Philips CRTs, or use a S-video to SCART convertor if your Tv supports this)
Important to know: if you use this cable to connect your Commodore to a modern (lcd) tv (either directly or via a coverter device like a HDMI upscaler, Retrotink or OSCC), you might experience artifacting effects such as checkerboarding or jailbars. This is a common issue and has to do with the way modern screens try to interpret and enhance the incoming (low resolution) signal, and add pixels to upscale or apply filtering to reduce noise. While we have taken great care to design a high quality cable and reduce the artefacts as much as possible, your results may (and probably will) vary depending on type of screen, the brand, the screensize etc etc. To be honest: it’ll never be perfect. But hey; it wasn’t perfect 40 years ago either and isn’t that why we love these old machines? 😉
