BD&M RetroSync RCA to HDMI Converter Kit for Classic Gaming Consoles & VHS Players – 1080P AV Adapter Compatible with Wii, PS2, Xbox & N64

I ended up buying four of these converters to connect several older devices to modern HDMI TVs, and they all worked as expected. Setup was straightforward — plug the RCA cables into the converter, connect HDMI to the TV, and power it with the included USB cable. The picture quality is about what you’d expect when converting composite video to HDMI. It’s not going to turn an older signal into true HD, but it displays the image clearly and makes it easy to use older equipment on newer displays. I tested them with a few different devices and they worked without any issues. They’re also small enough to tuck behind a TV or entertainment center without taking up much space. Overall, this is a simple and effective solution if you need to connect older devices like retro game systems, VCRs, or DVD players to an HDMI-only TV.

Exactly what I needed to be able to play older gaming systems. Easy to hook up and works great

Works great. No complaints. Good quality conversion from RCA A/V to HDMI, 1920 x 1080.

This converter box is pretty well-made, and was very easy to use. There is minimal lag in the conversion between formats, but there is a very little bit still there. I use this box to convert HDMI to an audio coaxial, so I could hook it up into my Buttkicker base shaker. While the lag is there, for that functionality it’s a little less noticed. Nonetheless, it’s good to know before buying! I do appreciate how small the box is, and while it’s too bad you have to supply power externally, I guess it makes sense that the HDMI can’t power it.

Used it to get our original Nintendo hooked up to the tv with the HDMI port. Love it. Easy to use and good price.

You might wonder why I’m even trying to hook up a VCR to a smart TV. The reason is simple—I still have a large collection of home VHS recordings as well as plenty of children’s tapes that I want to keep using. My TV does include component-style RCA inputs on the back, and I’ve successfully connected a Nintendo Wii that way. However, using the same approach with the VCR didn’t work. This solution, on the other hand, was truly plug-and-play and delivers the kind of picture quality you’d expect from an older VCR. I agree with others that switching between 720p and 1080p made no noticeable difference. It’s unclear whether that setting actually does anything, because the image didn’t become sharper or clearer. I ended up leaving it set to 1080p since it’s generally considered better suited for modern HDTVs. One important note: you do need to supply USB power for this to function. A cable is included for a 5V power source. My TV has two USB ports, and I also use a USB hub to expand the number of available connections. UPDATE: I ordered a different brand Viagkiki from Amazon and found that the picture is slightly better and clearer then this one.

I bought this to run my old Wii on a newer TV with only HDMI inputs. It works fairly well and doesn't seem to introduce too much lag. I will warn you, however, that it needs to be plugged into a USB port constantly in order to work. The Wii has USB ports, but if your device doesn't, you'll need an adapter for that as well. Easy to use, though; just plug and play.

I recently found my original Gamecube from 2003 with all original power supply and VGA cables. However, my flat screen does not have VCA out, but it does have HDMI in. I ran my Gamecubes VGA cables into the adapter box, then HDMI out the other side into my TV. Give the little box power via a small gen 1 USB cable, select 1080p or 720p and let er rip. At first there was a ton of artifacting from up scaling, so I turned it to 720p and it looked worlds better. I guess older tech won't up scale as cleanly as others like Xbox 360 does. This little box is an awesome value, easy to use, and the clarity was super good for a Gamecube upscaled to 720p. Resident Evil 4 in HD here I come!

Doesn't seem to work, get no signal in obs studio & on my old TV 90% of the time. When using cables directly it works.

This product is Exceptional, Outstanding and Unbelievable. At this price, it is able to convert the analog audio to digital audio without any drop in the quantity. I played the a HQ audio with bluetooth and then via this device and found that the audio quality of this device was much better. So don't give a second thought, just go for it!

Did the job in connecting older HiFi unit to modern TV.

Exactly matching what is advertised & what I got.👍👍👍

Effective in fulfilling its purpose perfectly.
