Xebec Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hey folks - received my Incognito board a week or two ago, and finally getting ready to install.. (Been looking forward to this for years! Thanks community!) I noticed this on the black strip part of the board - it looks like a little bubbling where a few traces are.. Is this anything to worry about? am I good to go ahead and begin the soldering/connection to the 800 mainboard? Also bonus question - I see a lot of chatter about the 'overdriven Luma', but the Luma/Chroma output looks great on my Amdek monitor; should I bother replacing R189 with the ~200-220 Ohm? Thanks all!

shoestring Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It looks cosmetic. Nothing to worry about... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I would email that photo to @lotharek and see what he says. My guess is it's just cosmetic and it's okay to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The black stripe was a bit smudged in the same place on the one I installed on video. No problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can see full tonal range displayed (e.g. 16 luminance bars, from 0 to F values), AND you can also clearly see all colors different and distinguishable on brightness level F (e.g. brightest column on the right of the test, ALL colors from top-to-bottom on that column), then you are all set, you don't need to do anything. Here's the test: If you can't, you will need to correct R189 to ~200/220 Ohm on NTSC. Edited November 10, 2019 by Faicuai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
