Full description
BitFunx HDMI adapter for Dreamcast: the console on a recent screen
The Dreamcast is one of the few consoles of its generation able to output a progressive image through its VGA output. The BitFunx HD-Link adapter plugs into the console's AV port and transmits the image to an HDMI input, with the sound, without an intermediate box.
What it does
- Direct connection: the adapter slots into the AV port at the back of the Dreamcast.
- Picture and sound over HDMI: a single cable to the TV.
- All Dreamcast consoles: stated as compatible with all versions of the console.
What it doesn't do
- It does not increase the resolution: the Dreamcast outputs 480p at best, and the image remains the console's own.
- This type of adapter uses the console's VGA mode: the few games that refuse this mode may not display.
- The HDMI cable is not guaranteed in the box.
Compatibility
Dreamcast, all regions and all revisions according to the supplier. It does not apply to any other console. For the rare games that do not accept VGA mode, an RGB SCART cable remains the fallback solution.
Skill level required
None. You plug the adapter into the Dreamcast's AV port and connect an HDMI cable to the TV. No opening of the console, no soldering, no settings.

The HDMI cable is not guaranteed by the supplier: plan to have one.

The job: connecting the Dreamcast like a current console
You remove the original AV cable, plug the adapter into the port at the back of the Dreamcast and run an HDMI cable to the TV. No extra box, no SCART to hunt for: the console sits under the screen like any recent device, picture and sound on the same cable.
The part: BitFunx and VGA mode
BitFunx designs video adapters for retro consoles. The HD-Link takes advantage of the Dreamcast's ability to output a progressive image through its VGA mode, the best it can produce natively. It carries this image over HDMI without degrading it, without claiming to turn it into high definition.
Support: the fussy games
A few Dreamcast games refuse VGA mode. If one of your titles shows a black screen while the others work, that is probably the cause, and an RGB SCART cable will take over. For any other issue, our customer service replies within 1 business day.
