Overview
- The Simplecom CM461v2 brings classic gaming consoles into the modern era by converting analog composite AV and S-Video signals to clean digital HDMI output. Designed for N64, GameCube, SNES, and SFC systems, it automatically detects and prioritises S-Video input for superior picture quality, then falls back to composite AV when S-Video is unavailable. This intelligent switching means you get the best possible image quality from your console without manual configuration.
With built-in aspect ratio switching between 4:3 and 16:9, you can display games in their original format or expand to full-screen, depending on your preference and display capabilities. The converter supports both NTSC and PAL video standards, making it compatible with consoles from different regions worldwide. Its compact, lightweight design and plug-and-play operation—requiring no external power supply—make setup straightforward and hassle-free, allowing you to reconnect your favourite retro titles to modern HD and 4K displays within minutes.

FAQs
Will this converter work with my PAL console?
Yes, the CM461v2 supports both NTSC and PAL video standards. However, S-Video support varies by console and region. PAL N64 consoles mostly support S-Video, but PAL GameCube consoles do not. SNES/SFC consoles in both regions support S-Video, except for cost-reduced models (SNS-101 and SHVC-101).
Do I need an external power supply?
No. The CM461v2 is powered directly by your console and requires no external power adapter or USB connection.
Can I use composite AV and S-Video at the same time?
No. The converter automatically prioritises S-Video input when available for better quality. If S-Video is not detected, it defaults to composite AV. You cannot use both simultaneously.
Does this converter support RGB signals?
No. The CM461v2 supports only analog composite AV and S-Video signals. RGB signals are not supported.
What aspect ratio settings are available?
The converter includes a built-in switch to toggle between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, allowing you to display games in their original format or expanded full-screen mode.
Which consoles support S-Video output with this converter?
N64 (all NTSC and most PAL models), GameCube (NTSC only), and SNES/SFC (all models except SNS-101 and SHVC-101) support S-Video output with this adapter.
Will this work with modern 4K TVs?
Yes. The converter outputs standard HDMI, which is compatible with all modern TVs including 4K displays. The TV will upscale the 720p or 1080p HDMI signal as needed.
