Will it convert composite to s-video, routing signals through one s-video output? If so, how does picture quality compare with composite direct to TV?

Yes! I have noticed no degradation in quality using these modulators with a CRT.

Yes, it will output to s-video. Converting to this format will result in about the same picture quality, but will lower color depth.

not really. If you're inputting S-video, you'll have to use another connection port or use an adapter. Otherwise, it has basically everything a television has.

Depending on your setup, this is incorrect.If you have an HDMI cable out to your TV, any input signal is getting upconverted. That means if you have a composite cable at 480i going in, it's getting sent at the highest possible conversion. Of course, there's only so much you can do with a 480i signal, so it doesn't look all that much better - but yes, there is upconversion happening.

If you mean composite as in your typical R/W/Y, then no, it does not. Only BNC and HDMI

No. Composite, Component, and S-Video outputs are also available on this model.

Sorry, but no. Old tech transmits signals not compatible with the card. I tried different methods with both VHS and old Nintendo systems (from NES to N64) until I asked customer support at Hauppauge, and they told me what I've just said. Although it does provide S-video and composite adapters, old analog signals just don't work. Pretty pointless to include them, I know.

I suppose it depends. Fortunately for me, I used part of a KVM extension cable for the video signal and an audio extension cable.Sorry, this probably doesn't help much. The video is card is significantly important with this connection. I wish I would have paid a bit more for a conversion box as oppose to using this cable. Conversion boxes improve the quality.

I don't for a minute believe this TV is 1080, but for composite inputs I get a pretty good picture quality out of mine. Have you checked the source?

no this is a simple switch, it does not convert anything. If you want S-video out, you need S-video in.

Component is Hi Def. Composite is not. Composite is for non Hi Def Tv. However, some Hi Def TV's do not have Component, just HDMI.

It has composite video input, and S-Video input along with the coaxial input.

No. Yellow is for composite video, and the red and white are for stereo sound. Composite is not an HD video format, and would require some other up-converting hardware to be changeable to HDMI. Do not confuse composite video with the red, green, and blue component HD video (sometimes also called YPbPr), which actually calls for a much higher-quality cable to reduce noise (static) for HD video connections.

Yes, I believe so, but not when using S-Video input. S-Video is video only; no sound. The RCA jacks will accept audio, and it should be sent out over the coax just like TV.

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:

Sorry I don't know because after transmitting the video as an SDI signal thru 100 feet of coax I am going into an HD encoder and the IP thru a wireless LAN and transmitting it 1/4 mile. The video has about a 2 second lag time but I think almost all of it is from the IP encoder not the SDI conversions.

It will upconvert the signal to HD but will not up-scale your video quality. There is a distinction between the two and obviously no reciever can enhance video quality per say.

It does have a COMPOSITE video output, but not COMPONENT video outputs. I think you probably mean "component" (where you have three separate video lines), while COMPOSITE is the "single yellow RCA coax plug." It has one of those, but not of the separate ("component") lines.Here's the full rundown on connections, from Sony:Inputs and Outputs HDMI Output(s) : 2 (Rear) Dual output for multiple output or AV seperation mode Composite Video Output(s) : 1 (Rear) Digital Audio Output(s) : 1 Optical (Rear); 1 Coxial (Rear) Analog Audio 2ch Output(s) : 1 (Rear) Ethernet Connection(s) : 1 (Rear) USB Input(s) : 2 (1 Rear/ 1 Front) It does have a COMPOSITE video output, but not COMPONENT video outputs.
