Feature request: swap green and blue RCA digitally #54

Closed omikron24 closed 4 years ago

omikron24 commented 4 years ago

For whatever reason component RCA order is RGB which is incorrect. The correct format is RBG. This design mistake causes unnecessary cable twist and strain. I could re-solder color connectors however I can't swap the digital processing hence the request.

Could you please add the option to the "Compatibility" sub menu to swap Green and Blue RCA channels?

marqs85 commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately G/Y line carries sync so the signal path is different and cannot be exchanged with R or B lines. As for why the connector has such order, suitably sized 3xRCA connector part with YPbPr order was not found during design time. The input can also be used for RGsB so it's not exclusively for YPbPr.

Will the same issue affect OSSC pro model?

marqs85 commented 4 years ago

Depends whether we can find a suitable 3xRCA connector block with YPbPr color order this time, their availability is not that good these days.

the current order never bothered me. You'd have to have a pretty degenerate cable for it to matter, I think.

Let me help you with this one as I have the power of google! Jokes aside, I'm not affiliated with any company that makes these but here are some links that may be useful later:

5 RCA jack

5 RCA jack another

Or, single connectors with appropriate colors: Single colored RCA

But thank you for your replies! Much appreciated

Closing the issue since digital swap not possible on the current HW.
