Inputs: Three female RCA jacks (yellow for composite video, red/white for stereo audio)—labeled "Input" on the side.
Output (not visible in this angle): Typically a single HDMI port on the opposite side.
Power: External DC wall adapter (barrel plug, usually 5V) for active conversion/upscaling.
Housing: Brushed aluminum-like metal case for heat dissipation and durability.
These budget devices take old analog signals from retro consoles (e.g., Xbox 360, PS2, Wii, VCRs, camcorders) and convert/upscale them to digital HDMI output (usually up to 720p/1080p) for modern TVs/monitors. Quality varies—basic ones like this add some lag and softening but work fine for casual retro gaming or digitizing tapes.
In today's market (late 2025), similar generic converters sell new for $10–25. Used/working ones with the power adapter go for $5–15 on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or locally. If it's tested and complete, aim for $10–15; without the adapter, closer to $5. Demand is steady from retro gaming enthusiasts, but supply is high since they're mass-produced.
