PS1:Video Cables

RF modulator

"or" means switchable, except on the SCPH-10072 which only supports a single standard depending on the specific unit.

Early production

For consoles with RCA ports only. Apparently based on the Sony RFU-90* modulator for Handycams.

• SCPH-1060 (NTSC-M, Japanese VHF channels 1 or 2)
• SCPH-1061 (NTSC-M, American VHF channels 3 or 4)
• SCPH-1062 (PAL-G or PAL-I, European UHF channel 36)

Late production

For any console, including PS2/PS3 (uses AV Multi Out).

• SCPH-1120 (NTSC-M, Japanese VHF channels 1 or 2)
• SCPH-1121 (NTSC-M, American VHF channels 3 or 4)
• SCPH-1122 (PAL-G or PAL-I, European UHF channel 36)

Later production

Designed for PS2, works on any console with AV Multi Out. Long composite/power cable and short RF cable, the opposite of its predecessors.

• SCPH-10070 (NTSC-M, Japanese VHF channels 1 or 2)
• SCPH-10071 (NTSC-M, American VHF channels 3 or 4)
• SCPH-10072 (PAL-G or PAL-I, European UHF channel 36)

Composite

For any console, including PS2/PS3 (uses AV Multi Out).

• SCPH-1140 (early production: hexagonal plugs, late production: round plugs with 4 alternating dashed/dotted grips)
• SCPH-10030 (as above, with PS2 branding)
• SCPH-10500 (PS3 branding, metalized plugs)
• SCPH-1160 (RCA splitter with AV Multi Out passthrough)
• SCPH-10080 (as above, with PS2 branding)
• SCPH-10130 (as above, plus S-Video)

S-Video

For any console, including PS2/PS3 (uses AV Multi Out).

• SCPH-1100 (direct cable)
• SCPH-10060 (as above, PS2 branding)
• SCPH-10480 (as above, PS3 branding, metalized plugs)
• SCPH-10120 (breakout box)
• Insurrection Industries

RGB

For PS1 only (reduced performance on PS2/PS3 since the terminating capacitors present in these cables got integrated in the console: only SCART replacement released as SCPH-10142). Backwards compatible with composite.

• SCPH-1050 (JP-21)
• SCPH-1052 (SCART)
• RGB SCART cables with port for light guns (RetroGamingCables.co.uk)
• Retro-Access RGB SCART cables with port for lightguns (Retro-Access)

Component YPbPr

While the PS1 does not output component YPbPr, there are cables that adapt the RGB signals to YPbPr.

• HD Retrovision Cable + PS1 adapter

HDMI

While the PS1 (and PS2 for that matter) does not output HDMI natively, the RAD2X cables will adapt an RGB signal to HDMI while upscaling the image to 480p.

• RAD2X Cables
  • This does not allow you to convert the PS2's YPbPr signal to HDMI. This means that the native 480p output through a PS2 will not be compatible, but the upscaling produced by this adapter should produce a similar result.

AV Multi In (Game)

Cable with PlayStation connector on both sides, for use with compatible Sony TVs (Japan only?) including the official PS1 TV - the CRT:KV-21SP1.

For any console, including PS2/PS3 (uses AV Multi Out), whose YPbPr mode is also supported.

• VMC-AVM250
