It also converts composite and s-video using a cheap scart plug adapter.
Good news folks, using a
scart plug adapter it most definitely converts composite and s-video to Hdmi along with the audio.
I tested the s-video with my TiVo and got a superb picture, really quite impressive considering and it shows "scart SV" via the osd.
The c64 via composite also produced a surprisingly nice picture considering, like really really nice, was hard to believe it was composite, only the softness and bit of colour bleed gave it away but it was a much better pic than my Bravia TV produces when fed the same signal!
Bad news tho, using my very cheap c64 s-video cable it doesn't recognise the signal as s-video (shows "scart av" on the osd) and as a result produces a truly aweful aweful picture!
I checked my S-Video cable and it does have the 300ohm resistor but my c64 still wont work properly with my SCART-HDMI Converter - seems Commodore video is just too far out of spec for it to recognize it properly.
c64 Composite does work tho and looks surprisingly good.
