Legacy to HDMI bridge

The PARUIEN PU00003 converts analogue RCA or S-Video sources to a digital HDMI signal. It targets owners of VHS players, DVD units, set-top boxes or classic consoles such as N64, PS2 and Wii who want to keep using them on modern televisions that lack legacy inputs. The box accepts PAL, NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.34, SECAM, PAL/M and PAL/N formats and outputs either 720P or 1080P at 60 Hz in a fixed 16:9 aspect ratio.

Driver-free setup with caveats

No drivers are required; simply connect the source, attach the supplied HDMI cable to the display, power the unit from a 5 V USB port on the TV or a phone charger and select the active input. Both RCA and S-Video can stay plugged in simultaneously, but only one displays at a time. Audio uses shared R/L inputs for both video types and the output defaults to 16:9 with no 4:3 support.

Upscales standard-definition to 720P or 1080P

The converter handles 480i and 576i composite or S-Video signals and scales them to 720P or 1080P at 60 Hz, which is sufficient for retro gaming and tape playback on current screens. It cannot process higher-resolution sources, pass through multi-channel audio or maintain a 4:3 picture. The compact 70 mm by 40 mm by 14 mm enclosure draws power from a single Micro USB connection.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the converter is outputting the selected resolution after I connect it?

Power the unit via the Micro USB 5 V cable, select 720P or 1080P with the switch, and check that your TV reports a 60 Hz signal at the chosen resolution.

What cables and adapters are included so I do not need to buy anything extra?

The box contains the converter, an HDMI cable, an S-Video cable, an RCA cable, a female-to-female RCA adapter, a Micro USB power cable and the instruction sheet.

Which output setting should I choose between 720P and 1080P for my display?

Both settings deliver a 16:9 picture at 60 Hz; pick 1080P for the sharper image on larger screens or 720P if your TV handles that resolution more cleanly.
