Information

For maximum flexibility with different video signal types and resolutions, this unit provides two important video processing functions. First, it can convert standard definition composite video to digital HDMI. It also provides video upscaling from standard definition to high definition resolutions, supporting 720p and 1080p HD outputs via HDMI, including 4K. If you have older legacy video sources such as a VCR and/or an analog video camcorder, connect via the composite video connectors (yellow jacks). If you have an older DVD or HD player that is not equipped with HDMI output but is equipped with component output, connect the player to the unit’s component video input. Pay attention to the component video connection (it’s a three wire connection) so as to ensure that the jacks on the player match the component video input jacks on this unit, otherwise you may not see a picture, or the picture will have distorted colors.
