I know that if you plug the 3D glasses in the Sega Scope hole and you watch a VGA CRT after a RetroTink. 2x Pro M converts component to HDMI, And then you convert HDMI to VGA, And you run it into a VGA CRT The Sega Scope looks perfectly fine You get perfectly good 3D and you get very low ping low enough where it feels like a CRT TV on everything except light gun games.
I'm really close to getting it done on a TN monitor. It's still just as low ping but the problem is the TN monitor when I look through the Sega Scope has the screen totally black yet I could see the wires and the furniture behind the TV and the real world.
That tells me that the only thing preventing me from watching it is the polar shield on the TN monitor.
I have a few options and just wondering which one would be the easiest and best one.
I was trying to use Console Link a Macintosh app that lets you view any capture card or camera straight on a monitor, then I rotated my monitor and put it in 90° mode. Then I put the window inside the rotated monitor. And I was able to get a good connection that moves really quick. The problem was the optics.
The only choices were 30 frames 50 frames and 60 frames per second and I set both my TV and my input of Console Link at 60 frames, And the results were there were a few seconds where the 3D was really clear and then it started to drift out of focus and then it would drift back into focus.
That was using an unpowered Amazon USB capture card.
When I use the slightly higher end USB capture card with loop and has to be USB powered to maintain that double position, I noticed it would fade into focus and then instantly snap out of focus once you got focus.
I tried to Hauppauge Rocket, which advertises 1 millisecond ping time (Even though I don't know if one millisecond ping time applies to the USB connection or the HDMI out.). Unfortunately every time I try to run it I need special software called HDPDR and that requires a download for the Macintosh from Hauppauge. And every time I run it and OBS and Console Link at the same time I get a big error.
This is the parts concerning you guys at OBS.
Is there a way you could have a pop-up window of just the TV output of the Sega Scope in a window on my 1 millisecond monitor?
Does it automatically go whatever speed the HDMI tells it to go at or do you set a frame amount? I know it is certain capture cards have a frame category where you could type in either a integer number frames per second or you could type in a rational number frames per second. I'm thinking that would be the way to get the Sega Scope working assuming my capture card is low ping.
Also my monitor is a Lenovo G25-10 which has variable frame rate when in display port mode but not in HDMI mode. Unfortunately Console Link doesn't have a true frame rate mode It just divides it into 30 50 or 60.
I have a couple other options if these exist: I could either hire someone to build or someone to modify an existing pair of Sega Scope glasses to rotate the polar filters that are both constant in front of the shield and that are variable that flash on and off on the inside.
Or I could find a device that rotates an HDMI input that was 4x3 and have it be rotated. The problem is there might be too much ping where it's not worth playing the game.
Or I could find an oppositely polarized TN monitor.
I've seen a 96 dollar pair of glasses on Amazon and it would be perfect if you're able to have user serviceable rotatable polar shields that actuate on and off. Or if the shutters are nonpolarized and are strict blackout and clear.
Just want you to answer the main question about OBS. Is there a way I can have a very low ping window display of just the video game on OBS without processing appear on my rotated monitor so that The video is both close enough to low ping where it doesn't matter gameplay wise and penetrates the Polish shield that I rotated 90°.
Also want to know if any of my more obscure options work.
The one that requires the least reliance on other people is the $96 TRS shutter glasses if they have the ability to either reverse polarity or if they are a total blackout and total clear.
