1. Introduktion
The Mcbazel GBS-8100 Video Converter Board is a professional-grade game converter specifically designed for the arcade game industry. It facilitates the conversion of VGA input signals to various legacy video formats, including CGA, CVBS (Composite Video), and S-Video. This allows modern VGA-based systems, such as high-resolution arcade games or PC games, to be displayed on older monitors like CGA CRT monitors, LCD monitors, or PDP monitors, enhancing compatibility and extending the life of classic display equipment.
