RetroTINK 4K Pro - Basic Overview, Game Play, and First Impressions
40The RetroTINK 4K Pro! I've been waiting a while to get one, and today is the day I go over the basics and show off some game play! I'll go over the basic operation and features of the RT4K, show some game play from....all...my consoles, then go over my thoughts. Key word "basic." For this video, I'm mainly showing the default profiles for each console, with some exception, and will not be showing HDR or Scanline set ups this time beyond a quick example or two. Features such as BFI I will mention, but I don't seem to be able to capture, some more testing is needed.

*SNES, PS1, and N64 use SCART Cables that use an RGB2COMP to ultimately get to the RT4K. See my Console Collection 4.0 Video for details. All other consoles shown use Component, except for the Wii U, Xbox 360 and CARBY, which use HDMI. For the Wii Footage, USB Loader was used to launch the game with the 480p Patch applied.
*Audio was removed from the Halo 4 game play due to a copyright issue.

*Important Call-Out: YouTube's compression does takeaway a lot of detail that is seen in person that devices like RetroTINK, RAD2X, CARBY, and more output. Bear that in mind with any content containing capture footage from those devices. My commentary and opinions come from the Raw Capture Files and what it looks like on my TV, I can't accurately account for what details are lost to compression until after the video is uploaded.
