dear experts, what would be the recommended way to connect c16 video signals to rgbtohdmi/analog and which profile/settings to use ?

The commodore 16 generates PAL or NTSC chroma within the TED chip similar to the VIC chips on the c64 and VIC20 and that is too noisy to do pixel perfect sampling so it would require a lumacode board similar to the ones for those machines.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that would be possible at the moment, see: https://github.com/c0pperdragon/LumaCode/issues/8

Thank you Ian for the hint, I was afraid that this would be a long shot for the C16. Still, there are at least separate chroma and luma signals available - how to connect these to the analog board, with the understanding that pixel perfect sampling cannot be achieved ?
