Component/Composite-to-HDMI scaler

The Black Box AVSC-VIDEO-HDMI converts analogue component or composite video with stereo and digital audio into a single HDMI signal. It accepts 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p sources and scales them up to 1920 x 1200. A remote control, push buttons and USB firmware upgrades provide configuration options. The unit measures 1.1 by 4.5 by 3.3 inches and weighs 0.57 lbs.

Integrators adding legacy sources to HDMI displays

Installers connecting older set-top boxes, cameras or game consoles to modern monitors, plasma screens or AV receivers will find the converter covers the common analogue formats. Buyers who need HDMI or DisplayPort inputs, 4K output or multi-channel audio extraction should look at other devices. The converter does not accept digital video sources or pass through advanced audio codecs.

Maximum output resolution 1920 x 1200

The scaler tops out at 1920 x 1200, so any system that requires 4K or higher resolution cannot use this model. All listed standard and high-definition input formats are supported up to 1080p. Choose a different converter when the destination display or workflow demands resolutions above 1920 x 1200.

Questions about this item

What resolution should I set my source to for the best picture on a 1920 x 1200 monitor?

Feed the converter a native 1920 x 1080p signal; the scaler will map it pixel-for-pixel to a 1920 x 1200 display without stretching.

Will 1080i material from an older component device look clean on a modern HDMI screen?

Yes, the built-in scaler de-interlaces 1080i to progressive 1080p before sending it over HDMI, so motion stays smooth on any HDMI sink.

Can I power the unit from a TV USB port instead of the wall adapter?

The 5 V, 2 A requirement exceeds typical TV USB ports; use the supplied wall-mount supply or a USB charger rated for at least 2 A.
