This signal is called **R.G.B.** (for Red Green Blue). At the time, this signal was considered **the best analogue signal**, and it still is today!\nRemember, when you bought the Playstation, it came with the yellow, red, white composite coaxial cable.\nThis cable was far from honouring the console's graphics... That's why there were RGB cables (Scart) that were sold at a high price and that you absolutely had to buy in order to enjoy a quality image.\n","5 - The RGB signal, 240p, 15KHz and all the rest part2":"This is the same RGB signal that is generated by Recalbox RGB Dual!\n\nWhen it comes to CRT displays, two terms often stand out: \n- **240p**, which means \"a display of 240 active lines on the screen in progressive mode\". This is the most commonly used display mode. There are dozens of other modes that are compatible with TVs, such as 224p for example. It is often noted with its refresh rate: 240@60p represents the 240p mode at 60 Hz\n- The **15Khz**, which represents the horizontal refresh rate, corresponds to the number of horizontal lines drawn per second.  To calculate this frequency for 240@60p, you just have to multiply the number of lines to be displayed (240 + the lines we don't mention...) by the display frequency (60Hz)\n- The **31Khz** is twice the 15KHz 😀.  The resolution of the games is 640x480 pixels with a progressive display, at 60 frames per second. This mode is only available for some consoles, arcade games and PC.","6 - Preparing for the future":"6 - Preparing for the future","6 - Preparing for the future description":"Recalbox RGB Dual has a **VGA** port, which allows us to display 480p (640x480p) compatible games such as Dreamcast, Naomi, Atomiswave, or some PC games.\nThis **31KHz** mode support is under development in Recalbox, however Recalbox RGB Dual is already ready to receive this future update.\n","7 - Rewards":"7 - Rewards","7 - Rewards part1":"Whatever your budget, all our Recalbox RGB Duals have the same features and produce the same image quality.\nWe offer very limited editions for users who wish to further support the project.","7 - Rewards green":"**Recalbox RGB Dual Kickstarter Edition Early Adopters (Green)**","7 - Rewards green desc":"Thank you!

It's also important to make sure that the 40 GPIOs of the Raspberry Pi are plugged into the 40 inputs of the extension cable, and that the 40 pins of the extension cable are plugged into the 40 inputs of the Recalbox RGB DUAL.\n\nClip the Recalbox RGB Dual in the same position as for a standard connection:","Raspberry Pi 400":"Raspberry Pi 400","Connect a Raspberry Pi 400":"To connect a Raspberry Pi 400, plug the extension cable into the RPi 400, cable end down. Then, position the Recalbox RGB Dual SCART socket towards the front of the Pi 400 to connect it to the extension cable.","50Hz mode":"50Hz mode","When you have a 50 hz TV":"If the image displayed on your TV jumps, even in the menu, it is probably because it does not support 60Hz. You will have to force  50Hz mode by using the **DIP switches** on the Recalbox RGB Dual.\n\nRemove the plastic cover from the switch, and with a thin object, move the top switch to **50Hz**.\n\nThis will force the 50Hz mode on the menu and all games!","31kHz monitors":"31kHz monitors","When you have a 31kHz monitor":"If you are using a monitor that supports 31kHz (horizontal refresh rate), you can use the VGA output. To configure Recalbox RGB Dual and allow the system to display games in 480p, use the second switch on the board.\n\nIt allows you to force 31kHz mode for games and menus.\n\nThis option automatically activates the sound on the Raspberry Pi jack.\n\nIf your monitor supports 120Hz, you can activate the **240p on 31kHz** option in the CRT menu in recalbox. This mode allows you to display **real 240p** on 31kHz monitors.","Configuration of recalbox":"Recalbox RGB Dual is Plug and Play and allows you to enjoy your CRT TV without any configuration.\n\nHowever, we have provided you with some options that might be of interest to you:","Connect on RPi Zero 2":"After soldering your header block to the RPi Zero 2, connect the Recalbox RGB Dual in the same direction as for a Raspberry Pi 4 or 3.","Connect on an Argon One":"The connection on an Argon One is done **in reverse**.","F.A.Q":"- **What do I need to enjoy my Recalbox RGB Dual?**\nA complete Raspberry Pi kit (Rpi4, Rpi3 or RPi 400) with a power supply, an SD card and a controller, Recalbox installed on the SD card, and a CRT TV 😀\n- **Can I connect both SCART and VGA outputs at the same time?**\nNo, it's not possible. Current limitations do not allow you to send the signal to 2 devices. Moreover, the signal generated is only compatible with one screen or the other.\n- **Can I connect an HDMI cable at the same time as the SCART or VGA cable?**  \nNo, there is a rule with Recalbox RGB Dual: one cable at a time.\n- **Is it compatible with all CRT screens?**  \nYes, as long as the screen has an RGB compatible SCART socket. The Pixel Factory allows you to generate a very clean sync signal to ensure compatibility with a maximum number of CRTs.\n- **My Recalbox is in a case, can I work around that?**\nAs an option, you can add a GPIO extension cable to your order to move the Recalbox RGB Dual outside your case.\n- **Are all the consoles and computers available on Recalbox compatible?**\nMost are already compatible (all arcade games and over 70 systems), and future updates will add more.\n- **Is Recalbox RGB Dual compatible with other distributions?**\nWe leave it up to other retro gaming distributions to make their systems compatible with Recalbox RGB Dual.\n- **What about vertical games?**\nVertical games are supported on your CRT TVs.\n- **What about vertical displays?**\nVertical display compatibility will be implemented in a future version of Recalbox, but don't worry, Recalbox RGB Dual is already ready to support this upgrade.\n- **Which Raspberry Pi's are compatible?**\nThe Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi3 are compatible. The Raspberry Pi 400 requires a GPIO extension (available as an option when ordering)\n- **What is the size of the Recalbox RGB Dual?**\n56mmx65mm, it will clip perfectly onto your Raspberry Pi.\n- **What cables do I need?**\nA SCART cable, which is available as an option when you order.\nA GPIO extension cable if you already have a case for your Raspberry Pi.\n- **Is there a power supply to add?**\nNo.\n- **Does it stay out in the open like this?**\nIf you are a Maker, we give away free STL files to print your case in 3d on your printer or in a FabLab near you !\n- **Why do we talk about Hz and kHz?**\nWhen we talk about refresh rate, there are two units: HZ for vertical refresh rate (60Hz = 60 frames per second), and kHz for horizontal refresh rate (15kHz = 15,000 displayed lines per second). The ratio between the two is quite simple to find. The horizontal refresh rate is (almost) the number of lines per frame (240 for example) times the number of frames per second (60).","All options":"- **Menu Resolution**: Choose between 240p or 480i for menus. 480i is more readable, but has a slight flicker.\n- **Select Game Refresh Rate**: force the display mode (PAL, NTSC) or region (EU,US,JP) of your game before launching it. If you choose OFF, the selection is automatic.\n- **Select Game Resolution**: force the resolution of the games, at launch, for compatible systems (Dreamcast, Naomi, Atomiswave)\n- **Zero Lag**: automatically configure emulators to minimize *input lag* !\n- **Force Sound on Jack**: if you want to output the sound on the Raspberry Pi jack, this option is for you. It is automatically activated if the 31kHz Dip Switch is enabled)\n- **Screen Calibration**: allows you to calibrate the position of your screen and the width of the image.","Usage with a case details":"If you are using your Recalbox RGB Dual in a case, make sure to disable all the specific configurations for this case (scripts, configuration files). The GPIOs used to communicate with the boxes that have features related to power management or fans may conflict with the operation of the Recalbox RGB Dual.","Usage with a case":"Use in a case","Compatibility":"Compatibility with Recalbox","Compatibility with recalbox details":"**Until the official release of Recalbox 8.1**, you will have to use the special version stamped **recalboxrgbdual**. \n\nFor this, there's two solutions:","Install the image":"Download below the image corresponding to your Raspberry Pi, and install it on your SD card using the **Use Custom Image** function of [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/imager/imager_latest.exe)\n\n","Or set updates.type":"Or modify the `recalbox.conf` file on your SD card and change the `updates.type=stable` line to `updates.type=recalboxrgbdual`.
