RetroTink 2X Pro - Component, S-video, Composite, to Digital Video Output

The RetroTINK-2X Pro is an affordable video processor to add high-quality analog video inputs to modern HDMI displays by converting 240p/480i/288p/576i NTSC/PAL sources to 480p/576p.

 
It is specifically optimized to accurately handle 240p/288p inputs by offering ultra-low latency line doubling for bypassing a display’s built-in SDTV scaler/deinterlacer which often adds significant lag and visual artifacts.
 

The 2X-Pro takes everything from the original device and improves upon it. The Pro model comes with an injection molded enclosure, a full-size HDMI port, and better build quality. Under the hood, a high quality 4-layer PCB is used, as well as multiple independently regulated and filtered power supplies.

The 2X-Pro adds scanline generation, in addition to the smoothing, as optional filter modes. Different color-encoding formats (PAL-60, NTSC-443, SECAM) are now automatically detected. New firmware can be flashed via the USB port using a PC-based program without the need for special tools.

All this adds up to make the RetroTink Pro the simplest, plug-and-play solution for connecting retro-consoles to modern TVs.

 

Everything that was great about the original is back plus new improvements and features:

  • Professional injection molded enclosure
  • Inputs: Component, S-video, Composite (shared with the green jack)
  • Output: HDMI
  • Automatic format detection: NTSC, PAL, PAL-60, PAL-M*, NTSC-443* and SECAM*
  • SCANLINE mode
  • Adjustable comb filtering for Retro (notch) and Video (2-D comb)
  • USB firmware upgrade capability - no special tools needed

 

*PAL-M, NTSC-443 and SECAM auto-detection and support have been implemented in the firmware but only limited testing has been done due to the inavalibility of these devices in the US.

Powered by optional Micro USB cable (suggested to use a USB port on your TV if available)

Optional 20 watt USB Power Brick includes dual ports (USB and USB-C) and can be used on multiple devices at once.

    Lots of Potential But Introduced Noise In My Signal

    Posted by lynxtosg on Dec 30th 2020

    When used with svideo a lot of noise was observed in comparison to cheaper Retrotink 2x offerings. https://videogameperfection.com/forums/topic/retrotink-2x-pro-vertical-rolling-noise/#post-43966

    Line doubler, worth it

    Posted by Alex Rosa on Aug 31st 2020

    I've tested a few consoles already with this since I've had it. It won't make them look HD, but it'll clean up the image and look as good as it can get. Definitely worth it for modern TVs.

    Amazing

    Posted by Unknown on Jun 25th 2020

    I really can't recommend this enough. It has breathed new life into my retro game collection. The picture output is better than I expected, 240p is processed right, and there is no perceivable input lag. I've tried clone consoles with HDMI out, but the Retrotink 2X Pro and original hardware wins hands down!
