HD link - Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn is often overlooked yet it boasts dozens of exclusive games and some of the best arcade ports ever made - NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon, and Daytona USA just to name a few. Enjoy these games on original hardware, in all their retro glory, with the Pound HD LINK Cable for the Sega Saturn. We bring you sharp, vivid colors using the console’s native RGB signal - the highest fidelity output from the Sega Saturn!

IMPROVED CONTRAST
Say goodbye to blurry textures and text. The Pound HD Link Cable produces a nice, crisp image so you can focus on the game.
SHARPER TEXT
Don’t be distracted by blurry text. The HD Link Cable for the Sega Genesis provides dangerously sharp text so you don’t miss any story elements.
MORE VIBRANT COLORS

FEATURES
INCORPORATES HDMI TECHNOLOGY
The HD Link Cable for the Sega Saturn makes it easy to hook your classic console up to the latest 4k TVs!
The HDMI trademark and logo is used with permission from HDMI LLC.
UPSCALES TO 720P AND 4:3
Many games on the Sega Saturn displayed in 240p; a format not accepted by HDMI standards. We force the resolution to 720p to ensure maximum compatibility but keep the system’s native 4:3 aspect ratio!
RGB PICTURE QUALITY
We ensure maximum compatibility by using the Sega Saturn’s native RGB signal to display all games! This means better color reproduction and sharpness than traditional AV cables.
faq
Do we sell outside of the US?
Yes! We fulfill to over 80 countries world wide! If your country doesn’t show as available, please contact us and we’ll see what we can do to help.
Why is the resolution locked at 720p?
We try to maximize compatibility with modern day TVs and 240p (the resolution that the Sega Saturn outputs) is not technically a part of the HDMI standard. This means that some TV manufacturers may not support 240p games or below.
What is the Micro USB cable for?
Some Saturn systems may not provide adequate power from the system itself. On those systems, you can provide power via micro USB. Even if your system can provide adequate power to produce an image, we highly recommend using the provided power cable to supplement the system to reduce stress on the system’s internal power supply. The Genesis is almost 30 years old now!
What’s in the box?
The HD link cables come with the HD LINK unit, an HDMI cable, and a Micro USB cable for power.
