PORTTA Component to HDMI Converter, 5 RCA YPbPr + R/L to HD Video Converter, RGB to HDMI Adapter, Compatible with Wii, PS2, PS3, DVD, Xbox 360, HDTV, Monitor, Projector

Fantastic! Works as it should every time. Definitely the best one I have tried on Amazon.

This dainty little box has given my first generation XBox 360 a new lease of HD life. The first generation XBox 360 didn't have a HDMI output and only supported HD video in the form of component output at 1080i. Many/most new televisions don't support component except through an adaptor which, for a number of reasons including the need to hide cables in an in-wall installation, I didn't want to use. I also wanted to leave open the option to use HDMI ARC audio control directly in to a soundbar. The Portta component to HDMI box really is a neat solution to the problem of using older component HD devices with newer televisions. It's simple to set up using the colour coded video input sockets (green, blue and red) and audio input sockets (red=right and white=left). There's a UK plug mains adaptor to power the device. A blue LED tells you that device is receiving mains power and the LED remains on whilst the device is plugged in to the mains i.e. it remains on all the time and not just when a signal is being passed through the unit to the HDMI lead. This is the only minor shortcoming I can think of - you have a blue LED smiling at you discretely. The picture quality is very good and I have no complaints although, I would say, the picture is not quite as crisp as when using analog component. This is not a criticism at all of the Portta device and is really just to point out the old argument about the quality of component versus HDMI. This is very subjective and probably nitpicking. The most extraordinary thing, for me, was how this little box pushed a perfectly sized and nicely coloured screen at the correct 1080i resolution to the television. Obviously you aren't going to get a 1080p picture from a 1080i source and the Portta box can't help you out with this! The box is very light and doesn't get hot when powered on so, if my experience is anything to go by, will sit very comfortably inside a tv cabinet/stand and not take up much if any room. It's a great device and I would not hesitate to recommend it especially if you have a good quality legacy device, such as an old XBox 360 or a DVD player, that you want to use with a new television that doesn't support raw component input or with a HDMI ARC audio soundbar.

I was about to take my PS2 to the charity shop because I couldn't connect it to my new TV. At the last minute I decided to look for an adapter. There are many on the market, and most of them seem to have issues of one sort of another. The decision was made for me when I decided to transfer recordings of my old band from VHS cassettes to my NAS. That project also stalled because I couldn't connect the VCR to anything. Rummaging about in the box of cables in the loft turned up some SCART to component cables, and, miraculously, a PS2 to component cable I forgot I had. A quick search on Amazon turned up this little box, and I ordered it. It worked first go - I plugged my PS2 component lead into one side and an HDMI to the TV into the other, plugged in the included power supply, turned everything on and I was playing DOA2 in no time. Somewhere back in the mists of time I must have already set my PS2 to Component out. If you don't, and it's still trying to output to a TV aerial adapter, you won't be able to see a picture. The adapter is working, it's the PS2 that's confused. If you do a quick internet search, there is a way of resetting it 'blind'. Once you get it set up, it's impressive how good some of these old games can look on a big telly, especially if the game can make use of Progressive Scan. Provided you use the right adapter cable (with five plugs) to hook your PS2 to this box, the sound is sent down the HDMI cable, and comes out of your TV or home cinema amplifier, so you don't even need to use the optical output to get quality sound. You won't be able to play PS1 games using this adapter on most modern TVs. The picture output from a PS1 game is so small that the TV doesn't recognise it, and turns off after showing the 'no signal' screen for a bit. This is not the adapter's fault. There are soft exploits that you can try on the PS2, but I haven't managed to get any of them to work. I did connect the VCR to the TV, and it worked perfectly but it didn't make my old band any better! At £19 I think this box is reasonable value. It's more versatile than the dedicated PS2 adapters, and works without issues.

Used this to connect my original xbox to a modern tv with only hdmi input. My son has taken the only tv that has component input, off to university with him, so i need a solution to connect to one of the other tv's in the house, neither of which have component input. My xbox is soft-modded (many years ago), with the enigma ntsc mod thingy, hd dashboard resolutions enabled, and a decent Konig component cable. Component output for Halo CE and Black was very good, crisp etc, no noise, good sound. I cannot do a side by side comparison, but i can say that this converter worked for both games, no artefacts and sound is nice and clear, to be honest it looks the same. Resolution for both of these games is 480p, i think, box passes through at same resolution. The picture did not stretch to fit the whole screen, this is a function of the tv, to which i do not have the remote, so i will do some further testing on the other tv, to see if i can get a decent full screen image etc. The converter comes with a power adaptor, which i used, but did not come with hdmi cable. I will try it without the external power adaptor to see if it still functions. The plan is to use this adaptor with my original Wii console as well, will give an update when i have done some testing with the Wii. Update 18/11/19 Tested with Wii and it works perfectly at 480p. Still using provided, not tried it unpowered, sound and picture are good, no dropouts on either.

Got this gor my old playstation 2 and the picture quality is shockingly bad text is barely readable, picture is fuzzy and there's a constant buzzing sound through the tv that sounds like old school interference

Beklentimi tamamen karşıladı ps2 için aldım

Super pour jouer à la PS2 sur un grand écran 4K, les textes sont lisibles et la luminosité et couleur sont justes. Cependant j’enlève 1 étoile car après quelques sessions de jeu, j’ai l’impression que le boîtier bug… j’ai des coupures d’images en plein jeu, je suis obligé de débrancher et rebrancher le câble hdmi…

Perfect function

Ottimo. Sono riuscita a collegarmi con la Wii e TV.in modo ottimale

Good
