The absolute best S-Video or Composite upgrade for your C64! Makes any old CRT appear like a quality zero-latency monitor.

Screenshots taken with android camera on a 5:4 LCD with just an S-Video cable connecting to the C64 and breadbin revision MOS6567, nothing in between. The camera has a strange effect, but inspect the "64K" section on the left side; this is how the entire screen appears to the naked eye! Also notice I have included CBM/PET font screenshots depicting the character differences. Commodore engineers switched to a 4x8 font instead of the 8x8 because of television screens for the home computer market weren't clear enough. I have an original 1702 that has not been repaired (to my knowledge) or "re-capped" and the image is better than the LCD for both fonts, but more difficult to photograph. If only Commodore had this, we never would have had that pixel-doubled font!

Compare the checkerboard character, as well as the "clubs" of cards. I can't describe just how amazingly clear these are on a 1702, which is supposed to be a standard TV tube and not a monitor-class CRT. The camera is having trouble resolving the detail, even on an LCD -- the PET/VIC checkerboard character is very well defined on all screens to the naked eye, for example. The 8x8 charset on a standard C64 with a 1702, the checkerboard character is entirely a grey-tone blur of colour-blended pixels.

ClearVideo64 sits between your VIC-II and C64, allowing you to bypass or remove your RFM box for an absolutely clean S-Video signal. We were NOT HAPPY with existing VIC-II feedback daughterboards. LF64 was supposed to be the best BUT IT WASN'T and WE WANTED BETTER. Removing the RF wasn't enough either, it was better but also worse; we had to remove/bypass the RFM and throw away the LF64, then build it better.

Made from HIGH QUALITY components, gold-plated pins, four adjustments, perfect 75.0-ohm outputs and a fancy Video IC to provide the cleanest signal possible while still keeping it retro! Not every VIC-II chip was made equal, as some are naturally clearer than others. This professionally-built circuit will enable you to have the cleanest signal from your VIC-II chip, and cross-adjust FOUR WAYS to help completely remove existing screen artifacts on CRT screens! Now you can see sharp corners to every pixel, on just about any regular television CRT, without color loss, blurring, horizontal ghosting or video bar overlaps. You will instead see gaps produced by the VIC-II, which you can blend away with iterative adjustments (less than 5 minutes!) without blurring pixels. LCD with this is almost too crisp, and gives you a better look at how the VIC-II composes its signals.

THESE BOARDS ARE ALWAYS FLUSH-TRIMMED on the through-hole components (socket, pots, headers, resistors and inductor) before soldering. They are also squeaky-clean and triple-inspected and individually tested for quality control.

• Installation Instructions: https://github.com/Jaystonian/ClearVideo/blob/master/clearvideo64/Instructions%20v101.pdf

• By request, will include one capacitor to connect Luma + Chroma to convert Luma into Composite. This is a permanent install unless used inside a DIN connector.
