Strange, I thought that was why there was a specific RGB mode with interlace, since there is a specific VGA mode. @Simius can you chime in here?

Simius posted an update Sophia 2 manual a few weeks back: The original feature spec is here: Features: - 100% compatible GTIA replacement - PAL/NTSC encoding - Independent RGB/YPbPr/VGA and DVI outputs - eight selectable DVI modes - 15 loadable 18-bit color palettes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YPBPr is component RGB, which again is also RGB (sorta) just based on a different standard from my understanding. https://thecablesland.com/ypbpr-vs-rgb/ If it doesn't support 15Khz RGB, to output to ST color monitors, or Commodore/Amiga monitors RGB, then that's a simple answer, but I just want to make sure that's the case.

Simius Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 Analog outputs of the Sophia 2 can be configured as 31kHz VGA mode, 15kHz RGB mode or 15kHz YPbPr mode. If you can get an image on your VGA monitor, the analog outputs are working. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGB, Sync mode norm or interlace? and I assume Sync out to Csync? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
