I chose this device based on what I found, it is the only one that can receive both S-Video and composite video. I always try to transfer video in the highest quality possible, so I use S-Video whenever possible. Every other device I looked at only accepted component video. The difference between them is almost always obvious. I also invested in two quality 3ft cables to complete the ensemble. Good quality cables that are no longer than necessary are also an important part of a good transmission. I definitely recommend the GREX 7.4 video stabilizer. I was very happy with its quality.
