Analog-to-digital converter for legacy consoles

The Boxwave adapter converts composite RCA output from consoles such as PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, N64, Wii and SNES into an HDMI signal at 720P or 1080P 60HZ. It also accepts video from VHS, VCR, DVD and Blu-ray players or set-top boxes. The conversion is one-way only and does not enhance the original picture quality.

Bundled cables and power requirement

A 39.4 inch HDMI cable and a 31.5 inch USB power cable are included in the package. The converter must be connected to a 5V 1A USB power source, which is not supplied, otherwise it will not operate. No software drivers are needed; the device works immediately after the cables are attached.

Build, connectors and daily use

The unit accepts standard yellow, white and red RCA plugs and supports PAL, NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, SECAM, PAL/M and PAL/N source formats. It cannot convert an HDMI signal back to RCA, so buyers who need bidirectional conversion or upscaling beyond 1080P should look elsewhere. The compact adapter plugs directly into the source device and the HDMI cable runs to the display.

Questions about this item

Will the USB power cable need replacing if it frays after daily use?

The included USB power cable is 31.5 inches long and draws 5 V 1 A; a standard micro-USB replacement of the same rating will work if the original wears out.

Does the converter downscale or drop frames when fed a 1080P 60 Hz signal for hours?

The unit outputs a fixed 720P or 1080P at 60 Hz, so a 1080P 60 Hz source passes through without frame-rate conversion or downscaling.

How warm does the adapter get and does it make any noise when powered continuously?

The adapter has no fan and runs silently; it warms slightly during continuous use but stays within normal operating temperature for a low-power video scaler.
