MiSTer @ 1440P 4:3 stream+capture with output to LG C1 OLED
Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2021 4:03 pm
I stayed up way too late last night, but I got my setup re-wired and re-configured so I can capture and stream MiSTer @ 1440P 4:3 while outputting to my LG C1 OLED! I had to move my other devices onto a USB capture card and put the MiSTer directly into the PCI capture card. Most of the time was diagnosing a bad HDMI cable and figuring out how to get SLOBS to use 4:3 correctly.
1440P 4:3 is the maximum the MiSTer can output. It allows a 6x integer scale of most retro game resolutions. I had a hard time finding information about this setup so I thought I should document what I did to help anyone else going down this road. The gear I'm using:
- C1 LG OLED
- AverMedia Live Gamer 4K (GC573)
- MiSTer
Setup notes:
- My PC is set to 3840x2160 (4K) at 120Hz, directly connected to the LG TV and set to "PC" input label
- SLOBS Settings -> Video -> Base (Canvas) Resolution: 3840x2880
- SLOBS Settings -> Video -> Output (Scaled) Resolution: 1920x1440
- MiSTer HDMI out to AverMedia capture card HDMI In
- AverMedia capture card HDMI Out to LGTV HDMI In (optional)
