OSSC

Legacy AV in expansion cards for OSSC Pro and AV Input/Output Adapters are now available:- Sorry for the small batch! Working on a much bigger batch for next time.

OSSC Classic firmware version v1.10 is now out and includes the following new features:- * Added support for Lumacode * Added HDMI VRR flag option * Reduced sampling jitter on optimized modes * Fixed sync drop issue with some sources like MSX * Fixed auto input detection loop * High/optimal sampling rate modes added for passthru (improves performance when using OSSC Classic as an analogue bridge with Morph4K) The firmware can be downloaded from this page:-http://www.infocult.com/m/ossc/fw/v1-series/ Update instructions:- https://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/OSSC#Firmware_update Firmware resources on the OSSC Classic are getting very limited now and unfortunately as a result of adding these new features, profile export is no longer available. As the project nears its 10th anniversary, we do not anticipate very many more firmware updates for the OSSC Classic. Small bugfixes and support for more Lumacode platforms is expected, but no new major features. If you make extensive use of profiles we strongly suggest you back them up carefully on firmware 1.09 and save them to a separate SD card for use going forward.
