 Good for a cheap, basic scan converter February 28, 2008

We have about 35 of these deployed to classrooms at a large state university in Austin. We use them to convert projector signals in classrooms to NTSC for streaming to the web. The products are rock solid and I've had no failures after about 3 years of deployment. There is, however, a huge difference between this product (sub-$100) and a high-end scan converter. Specifically, the max resolution you can send it is 1024x768. Accordingly, many modern PCs and Macs must be set to a less than native resolution in order to get a usable NTSC video signal. When you send higher resolutions in (such as 1280x1024, 1600x1200, or any of the modern 16:10 widescreen resolutions), the NTSC output is simply garbled static. Unlike many higher-end scan converters, this product has no buttons or remotes and therefore they have proven to be extremely reliable appliances even after power outages as they require no configuration. The downside to having no buttons or remotes is that there are no freeze or zoom capabilities on this product which you often find on higher-end products. One additional gotcha is that the VGA passthrough (which provides a looped VGA output to go to your projector or monitor) is active. Accordingly, it will not pass signal if you fail to plug in the power supply for this scan converter. This can be a problem if you're attempting to run completely untethered in mobile situations.

I bought this to make DVDs from my computer, but you loose so much quality converting from the computer signal to a TV video signal that I went back to useing a video camera and recording right off the computer LCD screen to the DVD. I do not recomend it for serious copying from the internet. I used the S video hook up as they suggested for the best converson, but it was still poor quality.
