The Gefen TV Composite to HDMI Scaler

The new GefenTV Composite to HDMI Scaler takes either Composite Video
or S-Video as input and converts it to digital HDMI video, then scales it up to a
maximum output of 1080p resolution (or 1920x1200 when used with a computer
monitor).

How It Works

Simply plug in your Composite or S-Video video source to its input jack on the
rear of the Scaler. The Scaler will automatically detect the video frequency and
resolution of the source signal, then convert that picture to a digital HDMI video
signal. You will then choose the best output resolution and viewing format of the
picture on your HDTV via the on-screen menu system by using the buttons on
the front of the Scaler.
