Very good news so far. The preliminary indications are it works. I am currently looking at it on the scope and I can shift the H-sync sync all through the picture. I will have to put it on a big screen to see if I see any jitter. I made an error on a footprint of an IC and it is very hard to solder a kludge, but for a few samples it is doable.
One more thing, the current dongle type form-factor is very hard to put together. Would anyone have a problem with a RTC2200 form factor? This would make life a lot easier.

Great news indeed..
Personally I am looking for function not style .. this isnt going in my trophy case. As long as it works and lasts it can be anything you want.
my .02
now if you can put flames on the case I bet it will do my laundry too.

Fine with me. Definitely a case of function over form.

I agree. Doesn't matter what it looks like or how big it is (within reason, LOL!). It'll be behind everything!
Can't wait to try mine out!

I just finished testing Kims latest beta version.
It works great.
There are 5 pots on the board that allowed me to make any adjustments I needed, however in the end I only needed to adjust 2
When I received the unit I sisnt see the bands on the movies I initially viewd, but when I popped in Hellboy on Blue ray the first scenes are with lightning in side the clouds and immediately saw banding. I paused it there and Kim recommended adjusting the H-Fine and H-Coarse and the H-Width (which I think I do need to do still now that I think about what I saw while adjusting the H-Fine positions). I found I needed to adjust the H-Coarse just a tad and then fine tune it with H-Fine. After that sit back and enjoy.
We now have a solution for HDMI and Pioneer PRO-720HD thus getting 1080I with PS3 and Blueray. Tell all your friends.
Thanks Kim!
Now I need to find a good HDMI switch that will auto detect .

Kim,
great news from TX VTX. Will you be sending out the new version to all who received the previous unit and do you want us to return that unit?

I will post this in both the TC1500 and the TC1600 thread.
There are now two RGB to component transcoders available: the TC1500 and the TC1600. The full details can be found on this website but in short these are the highlights
TC1500
1) Very small form-factor
2) Automatic SD or HD color selection
3) No gamma
4) No left shift
TC1600
1) RTC2200 form factor
2) Automatic SD or HD color selection
3) Adjustable gamma
4) Left shift of the picture
Unless indicated otherwise everyone that ordered a TC2000 or TC1500 before yesterday will automatically receive a TC1600 as soon as they are available. If anyone is not interested in the gamma or left shift just drop me a PM and I will ship a TC1500 instead.
The current status is as follows: The production boards and cases have been ordered and I expect the cases to arrive in about three weeks, the first TC1600's will ship soon thereafter. I can assemble not more than about 2 per day so please be patient.
Kim

Hi guys,
I've been tinkering around with my panasonic hdtv PT-47WX52C for a while now and am starting to get a bit annoyed with the whole setup x) Hope someone can shed some light.
I bought the TC15000 unit a couple weeks ago and finally got some time to test it out. Well I'm running into a couple issues. First off, it seems to be working on reboot, i can see the laptop/pc boot screens but as soon as either machine goes into windows, the screen goes dark... any ideas? Driver issues?
I also have the 1080p hd fury unit, my tv is only 1080i. do all of the various cable conversions/dongles have any effect on finally signal quality output?
Thank you for any info you can throw my way.
Cheers,
-m

Good,
This actually means that it is working. The boot screen is 640x480 and is being recognized as 480p by your TV. So when you are in windows and hooked up to a monitor that works you now need to use your video cards control panel to setup either 1080i or when that has issues you can try 540p, your TV will not know the difference.
If the control panel of your video card does not have those options you can install PowerStrip fron Entech-Taiwan, this tool (free as trial and indefinately when you don't mind the nag screen) lets to set every resolution imaginable that your video card can handle.

Yeah finaly got it going
I used the following wires from PC to Tv:
Vid card --> DVI cable --> 1080p HD Fury --> VGA female to female converter --> VGA cable --> TC1500 -->> RBG HD component cable --> TV
I'm running this on 47 inch tv screen at 1920x1080, 32 bit, 30 Hz rate.
Everything looks great Do i get an A+? or is there room for improvement ?
Thanks for your help and cheers,

Hi,
Trying to setup my HTPC to connect to my old TV with only component inputs.
Here is what I am trying to do:
VGA out from PC --> TC1500 --> connect to Toshiba 50H81 via component cable. does this sound feasible?
I am thinking I need powerstrip to convert to 540p?
