Where are the composite / s-video outputs? Is this device able to record as a "pass-thru" with these inputs or only when using component ?

i have the hd pvr2 and i think its worth it i got mine for 156$ instead of 200+$ the software including is easy as pie to work with!

Hello Justin, This device has both inputs and outputs in the back of the unit (component, RCA audio (left and right), and digital audio) in high definition and it has composite and audio inputs on the front for standard definition. The outputs are the pass-thrus and the USB port is the main output that goes to your computer. It does not have HDMI. The video/audio pass-thru outputs are really not needed for recording but they come in handy for connecting a TV so you can see what you are recording, even though the software on your computer can also show you what you are recording (such as MythTV in Linux or the software that came with the installation disk for Windows). If I understand your question correctly, there is no need to record using the pass-thru ( to record using the pass-thru would involve hooking another recording device) because the USB cable from the back of the device directs your recording to your computer. By the time the signal reaches the pass-thru outputs, it has already been recorded and sent to your computer via the USB cable. Note that the component input on the front of the device is not high definition and is only in 4x3 aspect. I use Linux and don't use MythTV for playback but I use the cat command in a terminal window to launch a linux video player (similar to Window's Media Player). All the best, Roy

thats what i bought this device for, to record my cod clips while playing on a 480p tv, i was able to get video black and white but nothing else on my older tv, this works great for an hdmi tv tho, if you are getting this for the ps3 you will need a an hdmi component cable ($25) seperately

Goes from your tv to the box and the box comes out as a USB to your computer and the supplied software records at your desire quality.

It has composite video output (4:3 480p) You can plug into anything that takes a standard component video input. (VCR, DVD Recorder, DVR Recorder, Time Lapse Recorder, computer, etc) Depending on your recorder you will need an "BNC-RCA" adaptor. Radio Shack has them or Amazon.

If you can get the camera to output through either composite, s-video, component or hdmi I see no reason why it wouldn't.

yes, it has composite video(rca cable), super video in/output and component video output. it lacks the hdmi input. your hd tv had all this inputsthat you can connect to the dvd recorder. If you connect your HD TV to the Component Video Out of the Recorder you'll get HD 720P (3 WIRE RED,GREEN,& BLUE RCA PLUG) it's the second best Video signal to HDMI 1080P HD.

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

not sure i understand the question. the outputs are only the three components: left/right/video (red/white/yellow)

I have a similar concern as well. I just purchased this & don't have it yet. Even though the tech specs here doesn't say so, Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102345) says: Composite A/V 2 (shared rear and side) Component Video 2 In For composite, by "shared", I assume the component video inputs can be used as composite instead. This customer-submitted image seems to confirm that:

The box appears to be a simple switch for each input, with no conversion applied or even available. I have never tried to switch input and output video modes, and am unsure if that is possible on this box, as S-video requires signals that are not separately present in composite video. I have noticed no degradation of video quality using the switch for composite connections. So I agree with Mr. Carlson.

YesVideo output: Component video, S-video, composite videoRegards, Catherine - Wespotpourii

I haven't tried taking live output through hdmi, but all of the videos I have recorded are clean with no screen menus or time stamp. That seems to be the default, so as far as I know the answer is yes.

Hello,Yes there is. You have to go to the menu and go to the HDMI settings. There is a pass through option. I am not sitting in front of my equipment right now so I am going by memory but you will see it. Let me know if you need anymore help.

I just got the item about a month ago. I haven't used it much yet, but some, and so far it has been a good product with no problems. I have recorded to DVR from various sources, and dubbed from VHS, and so far all good. As per your question, it has the following outputs: - analog audio - analog video - component video - s-video - coaxial digital audio - HDMI The analog outputs are RCA jacks, the others as you would expect. The user manual quotes, "HDMI outputs the video / audio signals without converting to analog signals. No audio connection is required." Having HDMI output means you can connect to many digital devices, but depending on whether the graphics card on your PC supports video capture, you will probably need a separate video capture card.

I don't know. I'm using the 32-bit XP drivers and it is working perfectly! Also I forgot that it works in the same way as an analog video grabber from NTSC/PAL video sources. It was tested on a long run about 18 hours raw video (PAL) without a problem or a frame drop! This is true for both - the RCAs and S-Video interfaces.The room temperature was very high ~ 36*C and in these torture conditions the tuner/grabber is rock stable. The TV capture is perfect too. BTW I have 4 of them and they all are amazing devices.

Yes you can shared AV component input. Yes AV composite input. No picture in picture mode

There are 2 outputs on this converter. One is S-Video and the other is composite. They are both hot (active). When you plug into one, it does not stop the signal from the other.

There is no lag going from composite(edit:component) to HDMI on the passthrough(although there might be a loss of quality. I haven't tested without it, it's been plugged in since I got it.) The capture has about 2 seconds delay.
