Review on πŸ”Œ HDMI to SVideo Converter: Audio Video Adapter for PC Laptop Xbox PS3 TV STB VHS VCR Blue-Ray DVD - Full HD Support by Jon Russell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Product works great except for S-Video

Product consists of a box with S-Video connector and 3 RCA connectors. The device has an HDMI port for input and Micro-USB for power supply. There is a short USB cable to connect the box to the input and a longer USB cable and power adapter. The device has a single switch that toggles between NTSC and PAL. I only tested NTSC. For testing, I hooked up a Roku Streaming Stick 3800 to an old Trinitron CRT that uses both Svideo and RCA inputs. Picture and sound were pretty good. The picture wasn't as good as with a direct HDMI connection, but that's to be expected. However, I've noticed that Svideo isn't that great, the video seems to have a weird double-duplication effect, so all the images seem to have a halo or something like a double image. I ended up taking RCA.A's advice on using this product. Svideo does not transmit audio, so two audio cables must also be connected to receive audio. It should be obvious, but I haven't hooked up anything analog in years. On the Roku, I had to set the audio to only use stereo or you could hear a really annoying hum. In general, the product works like an ad, except maybe for the video.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
