Composite to HDMI Video Converter

HDMI Converters

The Metra Helios CS-AVHDM is a composite video plus left/right audio to HDMI converter, designed to bring older analog A/V devices into a modern home theater or display setup. If you have a legacy VCR, DVD player, gaming console, or satellite receiver with composite RCA outputs that you want to connect to a current HDMI display, this converter handles the signal conversion cleanly without the need for a new source device. Both the composite video and stereo analog audio signals are combined and output as a single HDMI signal with selectable 720p or 1080p output resolution.

USB powered with no drivers or external power supply required, it is a simple, tidy solution for home theater and AV installations where older composite video sources need to coexist with modern HDMI displays, receivers, or switchers without replacing existing equipment.
