The RCA S-Video to HDMI Converter is a versatile device that converts standard definition RCA or S-Video signals into high-definition HDMI output. It supports both 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL) inputs, upscaling them to 720P or 1080P. With dual input options and easy plug-and-play installation, this converter is perfect for connecting older devices like VCRs, DVD players, and retro gaming consoles to modern HDMI displays.

Easy to install and does the job well.
Bought this to hook my older DVD carousel into my modern TV. It allows me to merge the old video and sound formats into the HDMI cable my TV requires. The cables were easy to figure out and it only took a few minutes to run through the various settings to get the picture quality I like. Not sure how well it might work with a blue ray player, but it's great for watching my old DVD collection.

It works just fine.
Connecting my 10 year old Sony DVD player (only has composite outputs) to my new 4K Sony TV (HDMI input). Picture looks great. No troubles.

Works well enough, which is better than others
There seem to be two types of these converters: this "old school" one with a metal case and external power supply, and the new style with a small plastic case and "get your own" usb adapter.I had one of the first type for a few years, using it to convert an S-video output on an older DVD player to HDMI. It worked very well but died finally last year, going intermittent. I'd no complaints since I'd picked it up around 2010 or so from a friend's company who imported and badged them.Now after setting up a new TV without composite inputs I needed to get something so I could still connect our old VCR for the occasional legacy media viewing, and tried one of the new cheapo plastic converters requiring an extra USB power adapter. Nice audio, no video-- just blue screen. I think they're made for gamer kids and not older AV gear.So I returned it and got this one, and it works as well as my old one and resembles it quite closely. I think there is an original set of tooling and boards everyone used to make these at one time and this still has that. It does the job, audio is perfect and video as good as can be expected from VHS.My only complaint is that the power supply cord is like a foot long, so I had to fool around with extension cords. Few people will have an AC outlet that close to a secondary or tertiary source like an old VCR or DVD player, so it's pretty inconvenient but manageable

When playing a VHS tape it would not work if you Fast Forward without resetting Converter.
If you were just playing a tape it would work. If you fast forward or stop you had to reset the converter or you would get a picture with the top half of the screen with pink images.With my VCR connected to a TV it works fine. It is not the VCR. I returned the converter.

Upscaler with poor image quality
I bought this device to use with some of my older game consoles including a Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES), and Nintendo Wii.On the plus side the device seems made well and durable with a metal enclosure. It also turned on and worked quick and easy with every system I connected to it. That's where the pros end though.Image quality is overall quite poor. I uploaded the images that I took and used for comparison. The images marked with an "S" in the upper-right hand corner are from this Sunnatch device. The ones marked with an "A" are using a cheap AV2HDMI upscaler that you can pickup for around $10-$15. The third image set marked with an "I" are plugged in directly to the composite (Yellow, Red and White) connections on my Insignia 4K TV that was purchased in 2021.Comparison works best if you download and zoom into them. Overall, plugging into the Insignia TV directly produces the best image quality, which is extremely disappointing. This device is supposed to upscale the image to help improve image quality. I'd like for it to at least produce as good image quality as I get when plugging into a TV via composite directly, that way I could at least use it with other TVs that don't have composite connections anymore.Furthermore, the image quality also seems in general worse than the AV2HDMI converter as well. Not only does that device cost just $10-$15 compared to the Sunnatch's $35, but it's image quality is overall comparable to the Sunnatch. The Sunnatch does appear slightly better in some cases than the AV2HDMi, but not always and the differences are much more marginal here than compared to direct plugging into the TV. So I'll be returning this device as it's simply not a well performing solution.
