Introduction

The VID2HDCON Composite and S-Video to HDMI® Video Converter with Audio

lets you connect an S-Video or Composite device with supporting 3.5mm audio

to your HDMI monitor or television.

Equipped with convenient selector switches for conguration, the S-Video/

composite converter is able to function in both NTSC and PAL systems, and

oers support for output resolutions up to 1600x1200 (PC) or 1080p (TV) to

seamlessly integrate with almost any display.

An integrated 3.5mm audio connection provides the ability to send your

output through a single HDMI cable to your destination display, avoiding the

hassle of running a separate audio cable.
