Digitize and optimize multiple analog video formats for display on an HDMI screen

There’s no need to buy a bunch of devices to convert, scale, and switch inputs when routing analog video signals to a digital display. Not when you can do it all with one multi-input, multifunction box.

Featuring five distinct video inputs, the Multi-Format AV to HDMI Switching HD Scaler makes it easy to convert and scale various video formats for digital HDMI output.

Scale analog PC (VGA), Component (YPbPr), Composite, and S-Video input for digital display at a number of different resolutions on a newer HDMI-compatible LCD or plasma screen. You can also reformat HDMI video input for output on another HDMI display at another resolution.

Advanced video scaling gives you crisp, clear video output. An adaptive 3D comb filter, providing 3D motion and 3D de-interlacing, ensures a jitter-free picture, and reverse 3:2/2:2 pulldown provides crisp and clear de-interlacing of video originating from 24-fps film, such as DVD movies.

New coiled cables make neater equipment connections

Do you have tangled and unsightly hanging cables in conference rooms in lobbies? Tidy-up those cables with the new coiled HDMI and USB cables. These cables are designed to make neater equipment connections on walls, counters, display stands, and desks.

The Coiled HDMI Cable (EVHDMI05) is well-suited for use with wall-mounted TVs, displays, and monitors. The Coiled USB Cable (USB10) makes desktop peripheral connections much tidier. Both make much cleaner connections for point-of-sale displays, directional signage, informational displays, and even home theaters.

The HDMI cables feature male/male HDMI connectors and can be used with DVD players, set-top boxes, and other digital audio/visual equipment. The USB 2.0 cables feature one Type A male and one Type B male connector and can be used with USB hard drives, printers, consoles, and other peripherals.

Cables are available with two swiveling connectors or one swiveling and one straight connector.

The HDMI cables feature male/male HDMI connectors and can be used with monitors, TVs, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other digital audio/visual equipment.
