Hello all
Sorry for the long absence, i was a little burned out for a while.
I also had a huge car project that took up all my time, the car has now been sold and im back into computing and this project.
Im gathering all the pieces to put it back together, i still have all the hardware and the Japanese Definitive (CAV) edition. (Thankfully)
Need to blow some dust off the C2ex and Runco (Nec IPS 4000) processor. A condensed version for those new to my project: The C2ex outputs pure NTSC via BNC to the Runco which then processes the y/c signals in Adaptive 3D and outputs s-vhs. The Sony has been modified to not power the Hi-vision circuits to further reduce fine noise. For the Image I started replacing caps with Panasonic Fc and Fm, the image got a big better. But the biggest difference (in fine image detail) came when i replaced all the caps surrounding the Panasonic Ntsc decoder with Black Gate Pk. Got a lower noise floor also after replacing the puny rf signal cable with a 75 ohm shielded coax that is probably 10x bigger.
The goal of the project is to capture the S-vhs coming from the Runco with as little loss of detail as possible.
