Manufacturer description
The EASYCEL RCA S-video to HDMI converter lets your N64, PS2, Wii, VCR or DVD player work with a modern HDMI TV, projector or monitor. It takes standard-definition 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL) video from composite (CVBS) or S-video, along with R/L stereo audio, and upscales it to 720p/60Hz or 1080p/60Hz HDMI output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my N64, PS2 or Wii?
Yes. It accepts composite (RCA) or S-video with R/L stereo audio, which all three consoles can output, and converts the signal to HDMI at 720p or 1080p.
Does it keep the original 4:3 aspect ratio?
No. The manufacturer says it supports 16:9 output only and does not support 4:3, so older 4:3 games and video will fill a widescreen display stretched.
Can I leave composite and S-video connected at the same time?
Yes. Both inputs can stay connected, and you pick the active one with the switch button on the converter. Only one source displays at a time.
What cables come in the box?
The package includes the converter, an AC power adapter, a composite cable and an S-video cable. You need to supply your own HDMI cable to reach the TV or monitor.
Does it work with PAL consoles and VCRs?
Yes. It accepts 576i PAL and 480i NTSC and detects the format automatically. Supported input formats are PAL, NTSC-M, NTSC 4.43, SECAM, PAL-M and PAL-N.
