HEDGHOG V

625 TO 405 LINE STANDARDS CONVERTER

Hedghog V is a homebrew standards converter based around a EP2C5T144C8N FPGA. From a 625 line input it will generate 405 line video. It is coupled with a versatile programmable modulator that uses two MC44BS373. It is similar to the HEDGHOG III but in addition to the functions of the HEDGHOG III it also can store 6 images. The images can be displayed in either 4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratios. On this page you will find the files required to build it.
