Generates configurable YPbPr or RGB from VIC-II bus activity with an FPGA while retaining improved composite and S-Video output.

VideoGamePerfection's EUR 60.00 kit was out of stock on 2026-07-27, but the complete open design remains buildable and upstream firmware 2.12 was released on 2026-07-03. This is a substantial soldering installation, and the original RF output is removed.

Line-doubles standard-definition composite, S-Video, or component video for modern digital displays with no added latency.

The original RetroTINK-2X is a retired predecessor; the current 2X Pro was orderable for $139.99 on 2026-07-30. It accepts only 240p, 288p, 480i, and 576i and does not accept 480p or higher input. Supply the correct source-system cable, a digital video cable, and a 5 V / 1 A USB power source; a Micro-USB cable is included. RetroTINK warns that composite sources can produce low output and recommends S-Video or component when available.
