Please observe the following safety precautions when using your OSSC Pro. Use the correct power supply – OSSC Pro is designed to run with a 5 volt, 2.1 x 5.5mm positive tip power supply unit (PSU) supplying at least 2.5 amps of current. Please ensure your power supply meets these requirements.
Status LEDs – Indicate various functions of the OSSC Pro. The top most LED will illuminate Red when the OSSC Pro is in standby (all other LEDs will be off). A Red and Green LED illuminated together indicates an error condition with the current input. The middle LED will also blink when an IR command is received.
Connectors (left side) Expansion Connector – For adding expansion boards to the OSSC Pro. Expansion boards can add new functionality and input and output options. Connectors (Right side) JTAG Connector - For software development purposes and firmware updates. AV1 (SCART) Input – Connect an RGB SCART source to this input. Note the input must be RGB or YPbPr, S-video and composite SCART sources are not supported and require transcoding into RGB first.
Power Connector – Connect a 5 volt, 2.1 x 5.5mm positive tip power supply unit (PSU) supplying at least 2.5 amps of current. Note that use of the OSSC Classic power supply is not recommended as it does not provide sufficient amps for the OSSC Pro. Page 6...
Remote control The OSSC Pro uses a new, larger remote control to control all of its functions. We will cover the most important functions in this guide, while you can learn about other features by visiting the OSSC Pro Wiki page (https://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php?title=OSSC_Pro).
Ensure the PSU is turned on at the wall, the red Standby light should then illuminate on the front of the unit. Power on your OSSC Pro using the power button on the remote control or by holding the menu button on the front of the unit. The OLED display on the front of the unit should light up and display “TP 480p”, as shown in the picture.

“AV2_YpbPr”. VGA sources, such as a Sega Dreamcast, require “AV3_RGBHV”. For digital video sources, choose “AV4”. You should now see a picture from your video device. Congratulations, you have now set up your OSSC Pro and you can start experimenting with its features.
Getting to know your OSSC Pro All settings for the OSSC Pro are configured using the on-screen menu. To call up the menu at any time, press the Menu button on the remote. The root or top level menu is shown below.

Connecting consoles, PCBs or other hardware Power your OSSC Pro off before you connect or disconnect external hardware. For the best results, always use the best quality connection from your source device to your OSSC Pro. For most vintage or retro systems, using a properly wired RGB SCART cable connected to the AV1 input is the best and easiest option.

If the OSSC Pro is set to scaler mode, the range of output resolutions is more flexible. Again, some experimentation may be required to find the best looking or most compatible modes for your display.
These modes send alternating scanlines to the display in each frame and were how standard definition analogue television was broadcast. To display interlace video on modern displays, it must be deinterlaced first. In line multiplication mode, the OSSC Pro can deinterlace content like this with no input lag.
Audio input and output The OSSC Pro’s analogue audio inputs and the SPDIF input are all fully assignable. For example, if you have a source such as a Sega Dreamcast, which has a D-Sub 15 video output and 2 x RCA audio outputs, you can connect the video output of the console to the AV3 input, and the audio to the AV2 RCA audio inputs.
SD card reader and then copy over the new firmware file. Ensure that the firmware file is renamed to “ossc_pro.bin”. Once the firmware is copied over, re-insert the MicroSD card into the OSSC Pro and power on the device. Open the on-screen menu and choose “Settings” and then “Fw. Update”. Follow the on- screen prompts in order to update the firmware.
