6 Port RCA to HDMI Converter - Composite to 1080p HDMI Switch

In this review the 6 Port RCA to HDMI Converter proves to be a practical solution for anyone who needs to connect multiple analog devices to a modern TV. It is aimed at hobbyists and owners of retro consoles, VCRs or DVD players who want a single HDMI feed without constant cable swapping. The unit's main draw is the six-input switch and automatic upscaling to 1080p (60Hz) using a 10-bit, 162MSPS sampling module, which simplifies setup and delivers a usable HD image for standard definition sources in either 16:9 or 4:3.

Key Features

• Six input switch: Lets users connect up to six composite RCA devices to one HDMI port for quick source switching without unplugging cables.
• Automatic conversion to 1080p: The module detects NTSC or PAL composite signals and outputs a 1080p HDMI signal at 60Hz for use on modern displays.
• Upgrade sampling: Uses 10-bit, maximal 162MSPS sampling to improve image scaling quality and preserve detail from standard definition sources.
• Two switching methods: Front-panel push button and included IR remote let you change inputs from the unit or the couch for convenience.
• Aspect ratio support: Switch between 16:9 and 4:3 to match older content and avoid stretched or cropped images on widescreen TVs.
• Plug-and-play setup: Requires no drivers; included power adapter, USB cable and HDMI cable get the unit running quickly.

Who It's For

The converter is best for retro gamers, collectors and anyone with multiple composite devices such as Sega, PS1/PS2/PS3, Wii, N64, VCRs or DVD players who want to feed a single HDMI input on a modern TV. It is particularly useful where switching between consoles or playback devices is frequent and unplugging cables would be inconvenient.

This is not for people seeking native HD capture or pristine upscaling that eliminates all softness or darkness in the picture; some customers report mixed results on image brightness and detail. Also avoid this unit if you need HDMI-to-AV conversion, as it only converts composite RCA to HDMI.
