    Yes, that should be correct. SCART cables are directional and since that one says "from" a SCART device (in this case, a Toro) "to" the XRGB Mini, it'll work fine.

    Thanks, RetroRGB. I ordered the coaxial version so it'll be super shielded. Excited! :)

    Hey guys, I've been doing boatloads of research in an effort not to bother anyone, but there's one thing I'm not totally sure about: The sync stripper function.

    My understanding is that a sync stripper is used to separate the composite sync (H + V) from other signals. So, if you're using luma sync, it separates the composite sync from the luminance data. Or, if you're using sync-from-composite-video, it separates the composite sync (H+V) from the composite video data (Chrominance/Luminance).

    What I'm not totally sure about is if things will function correctly with this switch always turned to on. Will I need to turn it off for CSYNC-enabled systems like SNES/Genesis and on for a luma-sync system like N64? (i.e. will the sync stripper being on somehow interfere with CSYNC data?) CSYNC has its own pins so I figure it'd be fine, but I'm just curious and am always learning about this stuff. Thanks! :)
