While not perfect (the poor quality of the composite source is certainly a lot ...), rendering is in any case much better with this device with direct connection of the machine to the TV via composite cable so I am delighted. Another good point: an adapter 5V French GAAP is included with this converter (like the other 2 devices of the brand I've tried), unlike many competing devices. Note that the version with S-VHS recorder (sold under the same brand) has exactly the same rendering composite (I did not test the record in S-VHS for the other device), unlike the version "mini" (), which itself offers a lesser quality image, even if the RCA to HDMI conversion is effective. Short, 3 Etekcity converter models tested is one that seems to offer the best value for money composite RCA use.
