HDMI is taking over the world; or at least the video world. All new TVs sport multiple HDMI inputs; while legacy inputs; such as composite and S-video are found on fewer and fewer displays. But what if you still have some legacy equipment; such as an old VHS player and VHS tapes? There is no need to throw it away or to get a replacement. Just get this Composite; S-Video; and HDMI to HDMI Converter from Monoprice! The primary purpose of this converter is to take legacy Composite or S-Video input and convert it to HDMI for use on your newer HDTV. The converter accepts a low-resolution 480i legacy input and upscales it to a high-resolution 720p or 1080p HDMI digital signal. The HDMI input allows the converter to perform upscaling on low-resolution HDMI signals; so you can view them at the full 720p/1080p resolution supported by your TV. The output can be switched from 720p to 1080p at the press of a button. Another small button on unit switches between the composite/s-video input and the HDMI input. The converter is powered by a 5 VDC; 2A AC power adapter; which is included in the package. The AC adapter has a 46" long cord. The converter measures 5 1/16" x 3.5" x 1.0".
