Hi all!
I am working on the OSSC project - it's an open source scan converter, it takes in "old analog signals" like RGB, VGA, Component, and Composite, and outputs HDMI.
A lot of the original circuitry has been handled by the project's experts, however I want to understand at a more fundamental level what is going on within my setup. I.e I want to see the RGB signal coming in, understand it's form, and then trace how that gets digitized, before it is passed onto the Cyclone IV (FPGA) for processing.
I don't particularly want to spend a huge amount of money, < $400 if possible. It needs to be optimised for 'video signals' if that is such a component of Oscilloscopes, and ideally offer me at least 2 channels, at 100mhz which appears to be fairly standard these days. There are likely other qualities I should be looking for given my setup and specific use case, and I would like to pull from your experience and preferences within the Oscilloscope domain to see what you use, and why!
I really appreciate all patience, and guidance. (I have watched a lot of youtubes covering comparisons between oscilloscopes, and the importance of purchasing a 'proper analog oscilloscope' by our very own EEVBlog guru himself! But before I splash out, I want to see what this community would recommend, for a new comer , who has high aspirations within the electronics domain(I am coming from a highly experienced software background -- and have designed a couple of simple OSHPark boards which have worked etc, but want and need to take this next step to really understand what my signals are saying when they travel down my traces
