Just a simple test of my Playstation TV. The games look quite sharp even without upscaling (especially in 720p), but I wanted to see if it could appear any better on YT. The Vita is a criminally underrated handheld that didn't achieve the same success of the PSP (which is also amazing) or as much respect as it deserved. It ran at what was dubbed qHD or "quarter HD" resolution (960 x 544). I have plenty of games for it, but I get the most out of them playing on a big screen, so some games are on the "Blacklist" (though most are playable through the "Whitelist").

The PSTV can go all the way to 1080i by default, but I have it running through an Orei HDMI Splitter into a XRGB-Mini into an Elgato HD60 at 40Mbps. I'll be doing a few quick tests, though I'm not working on any videos just yet (I have too many videos still waiting to be uploaded). Anyway, here are some basic stats for those curious:

Game:
Ninja Usagimaru: Two Tails of Adventure (* A combo of two 3DS games)

Devices:
- Playstation TV
- Orei HDMI Splitter (the PSTV is HDCP encrypted)
- Micomsoft Framemeister XRGB-Mini
- Elgato HD60

Settings:
- PSTV is set to 1080i
- Elgato recorded at 40Mbps (default picture / sound settings)
- Framemeister is set to 1080p with Image Mode set to "Natural" (this helps with interlaced sources or settings)

Other Framemeister stats:
Brightness = 25
Gamma = 10
Black = 0
* All other settings are default

Basic Computer Specs For Computer Used:
Intel (R) Core i7 - 7700k CPU @ 4.20Ghz
16.0 GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070

Most of my tests are set to private, but since the PSTV is less documented, I'll make these public. More tests forthcoming. No post production work was done to this test (Cropping, color correction, etc.).

---

Observations: I can see interlaced lines even after YT has processed the video in some of the cherry blossoms that fall on the screen, though it is definitely sharper than the XRGB-Mini running the game through PSTV's 720p option.
