[djsheep]

I’m down for one, anything to support the NAC

Hey bud, sent you a message on Twitter the other day. Let me know!

 

[owlnonymous]

Put me in for one. I have a solution built that works really well, but this is a lot more streamlined. Glad to see products like this come to market.

 

[UltimateTofu]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Definitely count me in for one as well!

 

[Nebula]

I’ve already replied in your shmups forum thread, but anyway, I’m down for one!

 

[BroadwayJose]

Definitely would like one of these. If this will eventually turn into an official pre-order list, please add me.

Looks nice, now how would people get the input signal? Capture card with VGA in?

I'd like one. This is perfect for capturing tournament footage.

Most people are going to use something like an OSSC to convert the signal into something modern capture cards can handle, unless you've got an old card that can deal with arcade level signals.

 

[Mr. Glendale]

I need one too.

 

[Hatsune Mike]

I shipped out a few of these; going further down the spreadsheet and slowly sending out PMs as I make more boards.

 

[kazuo]

There's a list? Please put me on the list!

Thanks.

PS - Maybe making a google form so interested parties can add themselves would be cool. Saves you the trouble!

 

[Hackcell]

@Hatsune Mike I was able to have some time during the Holiday to check out the adapter. Here are 3 screenshots of what I was testing and my initial thoughts:

http://tinypic.com/r/dyk9e8/9 Only Gain Pot Adjustment

http://tinypic.com/r/15s3a81/9 After OSSC Adjustment

http://tinypic.com/r/34y9p4m/9 After Ideal Adjustment (My Opinion)

Things I liked:

• The JAMMA connector fit properly.
• The signal worked properly with a 25' VGA cable with no sync issues.
• A very clean picture even after 25' of VGA cable.
• There was a pot to control the Video Gain.
• The adapter was not heavy. I didn't need to worry about the adapter sliding in any direction.

Things I would like to see in the future:

• A User friendly way to optionally adjust where the Black Level/Peak Levels rests (I'm not a fan of studio swing levels. It doesn't allow for a user to easily adjust the black level and allow for a Peak/Super White without clipping)
• Separate pots to adjust the RGB levels instead of a gain pot.
• Pots using multiple turns for RGB (even if it was 3 turns to allow for finer tuning of the video levels. I suppose it is more of a personal preference)

Overall I think this is product serves as a good starting point for those who want to stream from their cabinet. It still leaves a big gap in adjustment as the only programs I've seen that allow for ideal adjustments are vMix, and OBS Studio when you use a 3D LUT to calibrate
@Sabin @cruzlink2 @beast1x5 @mugen_ketsueki @Brooklyn Video Games ....What do you guys think?
