About this deal

Although buying a cable might seem like a cheaper and easier solution, it doesn’t work, so it’s much better to invest in a good quality converter, such as the ones mentioned earlier in this article. If you are willing to put some money and effort to relive your retro games as they are meant to be, the Kaico open-source scan converter is a worthwhile investment.

Make sure to use a USB port that can deliver at least 5V of power to the converter. Otherwise, it won’t work correctly. The converter is also covered by 12 months of manufacturer warranty. So, if you want to keep using these, you will likely have a problem connecting them to a modern TV or projector.

Even so, the upscale can only do so much. What it does is essentially blow up the smaller resolution to fill the screen on your TV. If you don’t use a converter with a resolution upscale feature, the image will be in letter-box mode. You can manually switch between the resolution using the hardware toggle on the adapter. It can properly upscale the output from retro game consoles and make it sharper without hampering colors and texture details.

It has 21 pins to transfer video and audio signals – although some cables are not fully wired, so might not be suitable for transferring some types of video – especially RGB. Since 2003, HDMI has been one of the most popular interfaces for uncompressed audio and video transmission on devices like televisions, computer monitors, soundbars, and other digital audio/video devices. With every generation of revision, HDMI is becoming more and more capable of handling ultra high-resolution video and multi-channel audio streams with dozens of enhancements that need a lot of signal bandwidth.

Therefore, with the introduction of digital high-definition images and multi-channel audio, you will mainly find this in older AV equipment. It comes with a 5V/1A USB to DC power adapter, with a max power consumption of only 3W. For clean home theatre setups, this adapter is small and stealthy enough to blend in behind TVs and soundbars. For example, they might have an old DVD player, set-top box or game consoles like the NES and SNES. These converters make it possible for you to connect your modern devices with your old ones, even if they don’t have nearly the same specifications or features. Overall, a very handy gadget, and well worth the investment. FAQ: Modern equipment usually has better ways of connecting devices, such as digital HDMI or DVI connections.
