Sync Strike: Separate Sync Signals in an RGB Arcade Video Chain

Some arcade video setups need sync signals separated before they reach a scaler, monitor or test bench. Sync Strike is designed to process a compatible RGB SCART source and make sync signals available for the next stage.

Use case

A typical use case is connecting a 15 kHz RGB source to compatible downstream equipment that expects separate sync connections. Its outputs include connections for a custom signal chain.

Why it stands out

The board uses an LM1881 sync separator and offers SCART, HD15 and screw-terminal connections. That makes it easier to access the signals while building or diagnosing a setup.

Before you choose

Sync Strike processes sync; it is not a video scaler and does not change the source line frequency. Confirm the signal and output requirements of the equipment you connect.

See the Sync Strike product page for current specifications, variants and availability.
