Orinoco_Womble:
I will explain the bypass in a few pictures soon.
Yes the Runco uses several patents from Faroudja, funny it does it better than my Nrs. Less rainbowing etc.
No it does not output progressive, the output boards has been removed. Only the 3D processed analog video via S-video.
After looking at options im going to modify all s-video connections to screw on metal 75 ohm type found on s-video.com, will use even better cables tho. Twin dual shielded 75ohm Rg59.
