UPSCALES TO 720P AND 4:3
Many games on the Sega Genesis displayed in 240p; a format not accepted by HDMI standards. We force the resolution to 720p to ensure maximum compatibility.
Our cable also now features 4:3 aspect ratio!
RGB PICTURE QUALITY
We ensure maximum compatibility by using the Sega Genesis’ native RGB signal to display all games! This means better color reproduction and sharpness than traditional AV cables.
faq
Do we sell outside of the US?
Yes! We fulfill to over 80 countries world wide! If your country doesn’t show as available, please contact us and we’ll see what we can do to help.
Why is the resolution locked at 720p?
We try to maximize compatibility with modern day TVs and 240p (the resolution that the Genesis outputs) is not technically a part of the HDMI standard. This means that some TV manufacturers may not support 240p games or below.
What’s in the box?
The HD link cables come with the HD LINK unit, a Genesis 1 adapter, an HDMI cable, and a Micro USB cable for power.
What is the Micro USB cable for?
Some Genesis systems may not provide adequate power from the system itself. On those systems, you can provide power via micro USB. Even if your system can provide adequate power to produce an image, we highly recommend using the provided power cable to supplement the system to reduce stress on the system’s internal power supply. The Genesis is almost 30 years old now!
Will this work with the 32X?
Our cable will display an image for 32X games, however, because it wasn’t designed specifically for the 32X, compatibility may vary. In our tests, some of the colors could be off while most games display without issue.
