AV2HDMI [Video Comparison Test - PS2] Mini RCA AV to HDMI 1080P Upscaler

Video quality comparison video. Comparing the Playstation 2 original AV output with the upscaled 1080P video output from the AV2HDMI (Mini RCA AV to HDMI converter). Fullscreen as well as side by side comparison.
Conclusion:
For a cheap unbranded chinese device that's only $6-7 dollars it's okay. Don't expect a great video image, but overall it's pretty decent and it looks quite nice on my TV. For that little money I would say it's worth it. The AV2HDMI device can also be used with your HDMI capture card. You could use it to capture footage from your old analog VHS player and Video8 or Hi8 camera's for example.
It does have a few flaws such as the switch between 720P and 1080P doesn't always seem to function right. The image from the AV2HDMI device are also a lot darker compared to the original video AV output.
It's available on a lot of webshops or marketplace websites such as Ebay: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...

    The best solution for image quality, sharpness , and clarity on a ps2 are component cables (Y PB PR). the video signal is split into three separate signals: red blue and green as apposed to just one signal (yellow cable). Component cables are the highest video quality out of all the analog signals and is the closest thing to an Hdmi ( digital) signal that there is. It kinda goes like like this on a scale. Rf, composite: yellow white red, s- video, rgb scart, component: red blue green red white, and the finally hdmi.

    Hi, are you running the games on some emulator or opl? The original AV mode seems to have lines running across the screen at mid section of the video, which I often see when I run my ps2 games using opl or gsm mode.

    Keith Chua No not on a emulator. Those lines are called interlacing. All AV outputs have those lines (dvd, vhs etc) only they won’t show on your TV. Try playing a DVD on your PC and you’ll notice those lines as well (while not visible on your tv).

    Hi there. Intereating video. The problem with the device youre using is the input. You see, the upscaler is also upscaling all the noise. Standard 3 lead 1 video 2 audio produces the worst inage possible. Especially on a lcd. The better aolution is the ps2 to hdmi adapter which is the one i have. Its a composite input which gives a much clearer image. It doesnt upscale but you can use the 480 progressive output. The image will be many times clearer even compared to that device in 1080p because of removing the analogue cables, reducing the variables which introduce noise. That's my experience anyway Hope this helps.

    How do you know it's upscaled to 720p?. Was it written on the screen?. Ps2 max video is 480i for ntsc & 576i for pal version games. Progressive scan mode can make it to 480p for both region using hdmi or component cables. You cant upscale it to 1080 or 720p if the game itself is not supported. Only gran turismo 4 ntsc support 1080i resolution. But from my experience component cable makes the graphics better than original av cable. Brighter & higher definition. It can activate progressive scan mode in the game. Av makes the game look blurry, dark & not clear especially on a modern tv. I never tried hdmi.

    Looks terrible! Way too dark. I can't imagine playing horror games with this.
