Inputs
The RetroTINK-4K features inputs for a wide variety of signals and connector types.
Front
The Tink 4K offers S-Video (over Mini-Din) and and Composite (over RCA) inputs on the front inputs. The red and white RCA jacks are stereo audio inputs. Red/White front audio inputs will be active if either the Front Composite or S-Video input is selected (assuming audio input override is not used).
| Front Inputs
|
|
Composite
|
To use composite video, use the yellow RCA jack for video (CVBS/Composite) and the Red/White RCA jacks for right and left audio input, respectively.
|
| S-Video
|
To use composite video, Mini-Din for video (Y/C s-video) and the Red/White RCA jacks for right and left audio input, respectively.
|
Rear RCA
The rear RCA jacks support YPbPr (component), RGsB, and CVBS (composite) inputs.
| Rear RCA Input
|
|
|
YPbPr
|
To use YPbPr (Component Video), connect the Red, Green and Blue YPbPr video cables to their corresponding colored RCA connectors, noting that the Red/White pair to the left is for stereo audio input. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| RGsB
|
The Rear RCA input also supports RGsB, a flavor of RGB that sends the sync alongside the Green signal. To use RGsB (aka RGB Sync on Green), connect the Red, Green and Blue RGsB signals to their corresponding colored RCA connectors, noting that the Red/White pair to the left is for stereo audio input. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| CVBS on Green
|
Composite video (CVBS) can be used with the Rear RCA input. To use CVBS, connect the composite signal connector to the Green RCA jack. The Red/White pair of jacks furthest left is for stereo audio input. The maximum supported resolution is 480i.
|
SCART
| SCART Input
|
|
|
RGBS (75 ohm)
|
RGBS is a form of RGB where sync is sent through one line. The Tink 4k accepts the following RGBS signal formats via SCART: Composite Sync (attenuated), Sync-on-Luma, and Sync-on-composite. They all work by sending information down the Red, Green, Blue, and "Sync" lines. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| RGsB
|
RGsB sends sync down the green input, using only 3 cables. This RGB format is notably used by the PS2 when in 480p mode via SCART. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| YPbPr
|
YPbPr is sent through the Green, Blue, and Red pins, respectively. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| CVBS on Pin 20
|
Composite video sent through Pin 20. If you use a composite/s-video scart adapter, composite will go down this line. (sic) The maximum resolution supported is 480i.
|
| CBVS on Green
|
Composite video can be sent through the Green pin. This would be useful if you use a component (YPbPr) to SCART adapter, just plug composite (yellow) into the Y RCA jack (Green). The maximum resolution supported is 480i.
|
| Y/C on Pin 20/Red
|
S-Video (Y/C) is broken out into 2 pins, Green and Red. This is useful if you wish to connect S-Video with a SCART Switch using an adapter. The maximum resolution supported is 480i.

|
RGBHV is a form of RGB where information is sent through 5 lines: Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync, and Vertical Sync. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| RGBS
|
RGBS is a form of RGB where sync is sent through one line, instead of two. The Tink 4k HD-15 connection supports these forms of RGBS: Composite Sync, Sync-on-Luma, and Sync-on-composite. They all work by sending information down the Red, Green, Blue, and "H-Sync" lines. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| RGsB
|
RGsB sends sync down the green input, using only 3 cables. This RGB format is notably used by the PS2 when in 480p mode via RGB. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|

|
YPbPr is sent through the Green, Blue, and Red pins, respectively. The maximum resolution supported is 1920x1080p 60fps, or 148.5Mhz
|
| CBVS on Hsync
|
Composite video sent through the HSync pin ofthe HD-15 connection. If you use a composite/s-video scart adapter, composite will go down this line. (sic) The maximum resolution supported is 480i.
|
| CBVS on Green
|
Composite video can be sent through the Green pin. This would be useful if you use a component (YPbPr) to VGA adapter, just plug composite (yellow) into the Y RCA jack (Green). The maximum supported resolution is 480i.
|
| Y/C on Green/Red
|
S-Video (Y/C) is broken out into 2 pins, Green and Red. This is useful if you wish to connect S-Video with a VGA Switch using an adapter. The maximum supported resolution is 480i.

Selecting audio input:
You can override the audio from any analog source over all video sources in the RetroTINK 4k-Pro. Make your way to the Advanced Settings, select "Audio Input" under "Acquisition" and make your way to the "Input Override" option under "Source" and select the audio source you want to use. The only exception is you cannot override an analog video source with audio from HDMI. All other combinations work. Here's a brief description of the different possible audio sources for this option:

Advanced Features
Deinterlacer / Film Mode Setup
Motion Adaptive Settings
Motion Adaptive settings apply only to the Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing mode, allowing you to adjust it to your liking.
- Sensitivity - Adjusts the sensitivity of Motion Adaptive, between Min, Medium, High and Max. The higher this is set, the more weaving will be present for moving parts of the screen, at the benefit of a stabler look for static parts of the screen. Many games will look just fine on the Min. setting, however several games may require Medium or higher. For example, Burnout 3: Takedown on PlayStation 2 has a subtle flickering and animated noise that throws off the Motion Adaptive Deinterlacer for still parts of the screen.
Notes
Deinterlacer -> -> Motion Adaptive Settings -> Sensitivity
(medium and high options might be might be reversed)
Controls combing effect at costs of sharpness. Low = less combing.
Deinterlacer -> -> Motion Adaptive Settings -> Interpolator:
Basically controls how the "bob" portion of the MA is calculated. The bob is either taken from the line above, line below or the average of the upper and lower lines
BFI. It's a matter of preference. I think either Top or Bottom interpolator looks a little sharper. Average is softer
In the end it doesn't matter too much because Bob is only used during motion when it is hard to see detail anwyays
Deinterlacer -> Motion Adaptive Settings -> Detector:
This is a little complicated to explain... but let me try
basically symmetric adds one frame of lag but the motion detection may be better. Because it is looking "one field into the future"
idk if its really better tho
in real life
HDMI -> BFI Control
-Strobe: How much the frame is divided down (i.e. 1 = divide by 2, 2 = divide by 3, 3 = divide by 4) from input to output
-Blur: How many frames are ON vs OFF. So let's say we are converting 60 Hz -> 240 Hz. Blur = 1, ON, OFF, OFF, OFF. Blur = 2 is ON, ON, OFF, OFF
-LCD Saver - inverts the pattern of the BFI to avoid renetion. But every few minutes u will see a flicker
