Cheap AV2HDMI Converter - Does it work?!

[@mangekyos82]

Warning: do not use a GameCube on 1080p mode with this thing as it will alter the colors. If you are using it for a GameCube, you have to switch it to 720p mode

[@Dosgamert]

Great tip!

[@trevorfanck5730]

TerminaVelocity is just on this or by every HDMI Adapter

[@mangekyos82]

Trevor Fanck I believe just this one, but I haven’t tested it with a lot of others. Best to just go with an eon adapter with GCN.

@Andrew Kim I think that is the best compliment I can get in this topic xD

[@therabidscorpion]

Lol I kept wanting to yell "Donnie, you're out of your element!"

[@aspinia]

Tested my old xbox and theres no noticeable lag but there is an annoying horizontal pinkish line on the upper part of tbe screen and since Im using composite to hdmi in 720p, the graphics are grainy and blurry which is expected on modern tvs. The only way to get better signal is if the console is compatible with component or hdmi. The AV2HDMI will do fine if you dont expect better resolution.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

Or s-video to a lesser extent.

[@OliGaming-d1u]

Is the image clearer than simply using the AV cables directly on the TV? How is the upscaling?

[@Dannyfr33sh]

Did you ever find the answer to this ?

[@OliGaming-d1u]

@@Dannyfr33sh Yup. The image quality is better if your tv still has AV inputs. I did end up with a newer tv that doesn't have them though and it works fine. Your tv's upscaling still plays a role in the equation. Using it on my new tv looks better than on my old one. One thing I noticed though on my older tv is that sometimes, there will be some weird "flashing" lines on things that light up and try to emulate a scanline effect, like Star Wars holograms or Samus' scan visor in Metroid Prime for exemple. Although the image is blurrier, that weird thing never happened with the converter, giving a more genuine image.

[@dosdaysareover7781]

I got the same cheap one. It does the trick.

[@reckszrka]

Does it work for ps1?

[@allenbot]

actually the no signal isn't from the elgato, it's from the converter itself!

[@Dosgamert]

Yes the blue 'no signal' screen comes from the AV2HDMI. The no signal screen from the Elgato is grey.

Help!!! I’m using a Sgyer 5 in 1 HDMI switcher. All 5 ports in the switcher are hooked up to game systems. Three of them are using a mini AV converter. The problem is my Sgyer is only toggling between two AV systems (using a mini converter), and the other three aren’t even registering. Is this an issue caused by mini converters??

[@willblackler7605]

I got one of these and it just flickered constantly. From reviews it works or it doesn't...

Some devices put out signals that are different to standard NTSC or PAL signals. Older CRT TVs handled this without a problem, but some digital devices struggle with them.

The brightness could be an issue with the AV cable, if it's an unofficial one. Many cables missed a resistor inside which could cause excessive brightness/washed out image.

[@redbarchettta]

Can I plug the USB cable to my smart Tv, will it power the device?

[@Dosgamert]

Some will, some won't. Not sure if it requires 5V or 12V. And not all USB-ports on TV's remain powered when not used as input.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@Dosgamert 5V, which is the traditional standard for USB, it won't use 12V(which is quite likely to damage the device). Albeit modern USB PD chargers(which can support 12V) automatically set the voltage, and will drop back to 5V for 'dumb' devices like this that don't have a chip to negotiate a voltage.

There's no delay in the AV2HDMI. The delay comes from the Elgato HD60. There are other HDMI capture devices that don't have delay like some internal PCI-E cards from Avermedia, though their products aren't that good and support is extremely limited.

That's weird! Check out my channel I just made another video of a same kind of device a few weeks ago, maybe that works better for you! Look for SNES to HDMI

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@KnownStrangerr That's all but impossible, the converter can't buffer an infinite amount of video(which it would need to, to slow down a video) It's theoretically possible it somehow confused the console into running at a slower rate, but I can't see any way that would work.

Question if I use it with ps2 do I get better quality then the ps2 component cables

[@Dosgamert]

No. I don't think so.

It can't make the output better than the input video. Component video is significantly better than the common yellow plug connection (composite video). You can buy Component to HDMI converters anyway, for better quality.
