The reason is:
It has a TV or projector, which, however, has at least one HDMI input no Euro-AV and want to play older devices with Euro-AV connector.
As for the TV, so there are certainly not many in Europe, meet the criterion called. The situation is different in the newer well projectors (keyword: High Definition) from. Euro-AV inputs can be found as rare. Now also you have for example one (or more) older games console (n) of the sixth or fifth generation, such as Sony PlayStation 1/2, Nintendo N64 / Gamecube, Sega Saturn / Dreamcast, etc., and would like to have the game experience on the new projector.
Then there is access.
Who fumbled in ancient times with RGB capable Scart cables, was convinced of the brilliance of the colors and the sharpness of the image. "Never again Composite RCA", the thought must have been back then. According videophile retro gamers will certainly be pleased a hole in the stomach when they use this converter. There is really not much more to say than:
Sharp *, flicker and unusual color. Better than RGB!
Compatibility:
I have tested a PS2 with RGB signal successfully.
The Wii has brought to the 60Hz output the converter into trouble. But does it work with 50 Hz.
The image of Import Dreamcast (Japan, NTSC) but played brilliantly.
It is assumed that all the old consoles will work with Euro-AV cable without problems.
To the device itself:
The active converter is well made and the metal casing makes an extremely robust impression.
Service? Plug in, set, go. What more do you want.
It should be noted that the power consumption is 10 watts. That may many a foul regurgitation in the context of the current "climate change" discussion. The device generates enough heat to go through as pocket warmer. Here I draw from a star. But I doubt that there is currently no comparable converters this waste heat.
Conclusion:
+ Ideally suited to retro consoles to HD devices to connect
-> Wii, XBox, PS2, PS1, GC, N64, SNES, NES, DC, Saturn, MD2 (adapter cable required) and others
+ Bomb image (RGB was really yesterday)
+ Audio out via HDMI or 3.5mm
+ Nix complicated
- Price (though still one of the best devices on the market (Jan 2010))
- Significant development of heat during operation
(*) With regard to the focus: It looks as if the pixels would be interpolated during upscaling, so it looks not as pixelated. One may interpret this as a blur. I myself feel this is a sign of quality.
