These are compatible with the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. This is not compatible with the PlayStation 1, but PS1 games can be played with the PS2 using this module (see the Important Information section for more information).

These modules do not provide any video scaling, so the output resolution is equal to the input resolution received. Some TVs/displays do not accept 240p and 480i resolutions from an HDMI™ input.

This module efficiently supports all of the resolutions that are default to the PS2 and PS3.

PlayStation 2:

NTSC Consoles:

• 240p, 480i, 480p*

PAL Consoles:

• 288p, 576i, 480i, 480p*, 576p

*480p supported only by select games via YPbPr component output. 240p/288p used by many PS1/PS2 titles (especially 2D or retro-style games).

PlayStation 3:

NTSC & PAL Consoles:

• 480i, 480p, 576i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p

Supply Voltage: 5V from USB-C
Video Input: Component (YPbPr)
Audio Input: Analog Audio
Video Output: HDMI™
Compatibility: NTSC and PAL (all resolutions are supported!)
Latency: ***See the Important Information section***

• 1x ElectronPulse

USB Type-C power cord is not included.

Prior to using this device the output video mode must be set to component video output.

Playstation 2:

• Go to the System Configuration menu, select "Component Video Out," then select the YPbPr mode. (RGB mode will not work!)

To change the video settings without having a video displayed on the TV, perform the following:

• Start the console with no disc inserted.
• Wait 10 seconds to get to the main menu.
• Press ↓ then X.
• Wait 3 seconds to make sure you're in the configuration menu.
• Press ↓, ↓, ↓, then X.
• Press →, X.

This will alternate between YPbPr and RGB modes. If this still isn't working I'd suggest finding a Composite AV lead (CVBS) and use that.

Playstation 3:

• Go to Settings > Display Settings > Video Output Settings, then choose "Component AV Cable."
• Select the desired resolution (e.g., 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) based on your TV's capabilities.

These modules are not compatible with the Playstation 1 but they are compatible with Playstation 1 games when played on the other consoles. Some TVs/displays are not compatible with Playstation 1 games. Please read the "Resolution Switching" section on RetroRGB here: https://www.retrorgb.com/playstation1.html.

Lag/Latency Information

The core technology at the heart of the ElectronPulse does not introduce any lag or latency in the output image. That means that the provided input analog video is quickly converted into the same resolution output video via HDMI™. 

However, it is important to note that some TVs and displays are unable to properly process low resolution 480i HDMI™ video without introducing some noticeable lag on the output.  If that occurs with your display, then it is recommended to utilize a high quality, low latency HDMI™ scaler on the output of the ElectronPulse to scale the 480i video to a higher resolution prior to being received by your display. 

These scalers include the following (non-affiliate links) in order from most-to-least capable:

• RetroTINK-4K
• Morph 4K
• mClassic (not compatible with 240p HDMI signals)
