Overview
- The Simplecom CM401 bridges the gap between older analogue video equipment and modern HDMI displays. It accepts standard composite AV (yellow, red, and white RCA) connectors and converts the signal to HDMI while upscaling the video to either 720p or 1080p at 60Hz.
Simply connect your analogue source device to the RCA inputs, attach the included HDMI cable to your TV or monitor, and plug the USB power cable into any USB port or wall adapter. The converter's advanced signal processing engine delivers clean, colour-accurate video output with minimised distortion and noise.
Both video and audio signals are combined into the HDMI output, eliminating the need for separate audio connections. The switchable resolution output lets you select the best quality for your display. This is an ideal solution for businesses, creative professionals, and individuals needing to repurpose legacy analogue equipment in modern digital environments.
