I'm looking for opinions on what route I should explore to get better video output when compared to my current solution for component-to-HDMI adaption. I am using, currently, HD Retrovision cables into and out of a mechanical switcher that introduces no significant noise to the video. The switcher then goes into an AVerMedia ET113 Component to HDMI adapter (I believe this is the weak link in the setup) which then outputs HDMI into an AVerMedia Live Gamer HD 2 1080p PCIe capture card.
The main problem I tend to notice is very blatant noise on the video input, especially on the PlayStation 2. I also use the Wii which has less obvious noise. I think it's mostly an issue when the console is displaying interlaced video (480i in this case), such as on the main OSD menu. I will include screenshots that properly highlight my issue below.
My first thought is to wait for the RetroTink 5X Pro to become available again and grab one of them; it seems like it would solve basically all of my issues in one neat package, but I'm interested in hearing any thoughts other people here may have on the issue at hand, and I very much appreciate any opinions or advice on the matter.
