Cheap AV2HDMI Converter - Does it work?! 

Great tip!

TerminaVelocity is just on this or by every HDMI Adapter

Trevor Fanck I believe just this one, but I haven’t tested it with a lot of others. Best to just go with an eon adapter with GCN.

TerminaVelocity ok thanks!

Does it works great in the gamecube? I have the default cables and i cant read any text....

Ooh not this again, haha

That was literally my first thought after clicking on this video

@Andrew Kim lmao

@Andrew Kim I think that is the best compliment I can get in this topic xD

Or s-video to a lesser extent.

Did you ever find the answer to this ?

@@Dannyfr33sh Yup. The image quality is better if your tv still has AV inputs. I did end up with a newer tv that doesn't have them though and it works fine. Your tv's upscaling still plays a role in the equation. Using it on my new tv looks better than on my old one. One thing I noticed though on my older tv is that sometimes, there will be some weird "flashing" lines on things that light up and try to emulate a scanline effect, like Star Wars holograms or Samus' scan visor in Metroid Prime for exemple. Although the image is blurrier, that weird thing never happened with the converter, giving a more genuine image.

Yes the blue 'no signal' screen comes from the AV2HDMI. The no signal screen from the Elgato is grey.

Was it on NTSC Or PAL? If you live in the US, Switch it to NTSC, If you live in Europe, switch it to PAL, if you live anywhere else, look up if your country uses NTSC or PAL

@@mrsquidward3569 PAL, the device was sold as "PAL" aswell

Some devices put out signals that are different to standard NTSC or PAL signals. Older CRT TVs handled this without a problem, but some digital devices struggle with them.

Nope, and if there is most new TV's have an option to fix it in the settings

Nope works fine in my 4k tv

You're welcome

Does it work for ps1?

try to mess around with the settings of the capture device/source in OBS.

I made a new video of a device of a bit higher quality. Maybe that's better?

check if there's something wrong with the red/white output of your console.

The brightness could be an issue with the AV cable, if it's an unofficial one. Many cables missed a resistor inside which could cause excessive brightness/washed out image.

​@@DoubleMonoLR n64 composite cables don't have any resistors inside

How is it holding up?

@@bustergundo516 stored the ps1 about 2 mos back since i got bored of the games. but had no issues with the converter. not sure how much ull get it in the u.s. but i got mine for 100php = 2$

Maybe because of a small power surge or a sleep-mode that you activated in the console/device that you're capturing/converting from?

@@Dosgamert Sleep mode and its a av2hdmi mini?

@@cyrex6519 what are you connecting it to?

@@Dosgamert samsung i did went to see the options for sleep time it says its off maybe i have to reset that as well?

That hdmi is probably an out only

@@Dosgamert I mean I have that Mini AV2HDMI also and from the output goes the HMDI cable direct into my laptop. But no software captures this..I am using a VCR as source to set VHS into digital format.

@@Ollever312 yes but you need a capture device for it, the HDMI port on your laptop is probably an OUT and not an IN.

@@Ollever312 You can buy very cheap USB HDMI capture devices that work fine.

I got the same converter no problem regards for display but theres no audio or sound for it

I use DosBox internal capture ([AVI]- ZMBV codecs), then upscale/resize to higher resolution using Virtual Dub with H264 codecs!

Dosgamert thought I saw a capture of a pc booting in your intro... that wasn’t dosbox I think :)

@@RetroSpector78 pure After Effects haha

Some will, some won't. Not sure if it requires 5V or 12V. And not all USB-ports on TV's remain powered when not used as input.

@@Dosgamert 5V, which is the traditional standard for USB, it won't use 12V(which is quite likely to damage the device). Albeit modern USB PD chargers(which can support 12V) automatically set the voltage, and will drop back to 5V for 'dumb' devices like this that don't have a chip to negotiate a voltage.

just got mine today. it work. just unplug plug na power cable and restsrted na tv

Yep

@@Dosgamert how about GameCube on a modern Tv?

@@peytonlong5573 sure!

I did it on my monitor and it worked... but old monitors are vga only... for windows you might need an hdmi to usb adapter and some programs to output video and record it if you want. I use obs for that

Check my newer video, link in description.

Where do you think it goes wrong?

@@Dosgamert when I put the hdmi cable and I connect it it does not work

@@crankqsa1112 did you power it with the usb cable?

@@Dosgamert yea it was turned on But no like in the screen

@@crankqsa1112 does it work with another av device? If yes, try on a different screen to change the output of the Wii in it's settings.

It's just for power

@@Dosgamert thanks. Tried using a powerbank anyway do you think whats the watts if possible to ise android charger?

@@zzr400cc not sure if a phone/tablet charger will work since that might transfer more power and there's no adapter in between. I'd stick to a 12v usb port. You can try though, but not sure if it will keep the device intact. Maybe read the manual about the max. Power supply

Those are no stickers, they're plywood, lasercutted and handpainted by Maxi. You can order one if you like. Btw, I just made a new video on a simular device!

@@Dosgamert I’ll check out the video and I definitely need to look into ordering some of those, they look amazing

@@88Zlight if you want you can contact me on Discord.dosgamert.com, and I can send you some more detailed photos of them :)

No. I don't think so.

It can't make the output better than the input video. Component video is significantly better than the common yellow plug connection (composite video). You can buy Component to HDMI converters anyway, for better quality.

Nope, only the Elgat HD60 does, which make me record the signal

This device won't slow the performance of the imput device (your Gamecube)

@@Dosgamert thanks for your fast reply. I have the exact same device you have, but mine DOES slow it down, very strange. I played MarioKart double dash and the timer on my phone outruns the timer ingame. I might have a defect one I guess :(

That's weird! Check out my channel I just made another video of a same kind of device a few weeks ago, maybe that works better for you! Look for SNES to HDMI

@@KnownStrangerr That's all but impossible, the converter can't buffer an infinite amount of video(which it would need to, to slow down a video) It's theoretically possible it somehow confused the console into running at a slower rate, but I can't see any way that would work.

Works for every device with a AV output. Don't think this device will turn or convert the signal magically to HD.

Not nicer, just as it should look.

There's no delay in the AV2HDMI. The delay comes from the Elgato HD60. There are other HDMI capture devices that don't have delay like some internal PCI-E cards from Avermedia, though their products aren't that good and support is extremely limited.

@@Dosgamert lots of new TVs. I have a Sony Bravia so I'm looking to bring back my child hood into 4K if possible lol

@@IAmJoeJericho what device are you looking to connect to your 4k tv?

@@gamecubeplayer NES, SNES, Game Cube, and PS2.

@@IAmJoeJericho snes supports the best video quality with rgb scart and ps2 supports the best video quality with ps2 hdmi adapter

How do you fix that? It's been turning off 5mins in?

By xbox 2 do you meen xbox 360 or xbox too?

Did you solve your problem ?

@@laoup26 yeah

Thanks for your tip.

Same

60hz is normal for NTSC video, so there's some other issue causing that.

Yes, you can :)

Ps3 has a HDMI itself so theres no need for it right?

@@Dosgamert Well that awesome because it is broken...the hdmi output

@@heribertoantonioramosreyes9695 want to record footage from the ps3 or just hook it up on your tv?

@@Dosgamert Do you want a footage? My PS3 got the hdmi output burned out and it doesnt work, I wonder if I can use this

@@heribertoantonioramosreyes9695 you didnt answer the question. Dont think you can get HD footage from a scart/rf output, it just changes the form of connection, but it wont be HD. What you need is a cable from your ps3 to 5-pin composite.

It's easily the most common model sold.

I'm aware of it, but this video wasn't intended to go public, but at the time of producing I was thinking of keeping it for the members-only. I never saw it coming that this one would even get more then 10k views hehe. There has been cut out a lot of stuff in the edit.

@@Dosgamert No excuses neccicary, we all gotta eat and pay the ominous electric bill somehow, I can't fault you for that as it's your channel with your rules, subbed anyway ✌

@@fmotlgreen6814 You'll like the channel. It's stuffed with gameplay video's and I do a lot of (mostly adfree) livestreams (every monday night) ;)

Haha, it wasn't meant as a review.
