Doesn't work on 1080p/24

The specs claim to work on 1080p/24 but it does NOT work. I tested and only 1080i/59.94, 1080p/29.9, 720p/59.94 and 480. I emailed them and they responded quickly saying they need to update the specs. Still not a bad device for the price. The case I received was metal, not plastic as pictured. I prefer the metal box as it seems more durable.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Some cons

Was not compatible with accessories and consumables

Not sure how to properly rate this as it was not compatible with my SDI connection. I switched TVs and was hoping to reconnect my CCTV to the new TV but it didn't work. Fortunately, the company wrote to inform me of my purchase. I called them to let them know what had happened and they issued me a Return Merchandise Authorization. I sent it back earlier this week and am waiting for a refund. I'm taking off two stars because it didn't work and then because I had to pay for return shipping.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

It may not have been designed for what I intended to use it for.

I was trying to use this to convert the old fashioned channel 3 output from a VCR and some old video games to an HDMI input. I only have static. Maybe this device wasn't meant for what I wanted to use it for. I couldn't tell from the description if it was intended for my use or not. I bought a coax A/B switch and connected the channel 3 output to the TV's coax input and everything worked fine.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick guide

No 24Hz support as announced!

The properties contain incorrect data! They claim it supports 1080p 24Hz signals but it doesn't! It does not work at 24p or 23.976 fps and outputs an unsupported HDMI signal. Unfortunately, this makes the converter unusable for me, since I only work with 24Hz signals. And what's even more unfortunate is that I altered his body so he wouldn't come back. waste of money for me! I only gave it 2 stars because it seems to work with most other advertised signals and it is reliable and well built.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No result

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
