Product Information

The Advantage of Digital Conversion: Converting the analog signal of Component to a digital one for HDMI has many real benefits for you as a Wii gamer.

Adapters Improve Functionality for Gamers: Many gamers use Wii adapters because they know monitors offer superior performance compared to HDTVs. This is fine if you’re playing your Wii on a device running one of those resolutions, like a smart TV, plasma TV, or HDMI HDTV. You can even use it to connect your quality stereo sound to a modern amplifier on top of making an HDMI link to your HDTV or projector. A component source can't be providing HDCP protected content so I'm rather mystified as to why you'd have it on a converter.We’ve confirmed by testing it out that it supports 1080p video and audio conversion for use with PSP, Xbox, DVD, and so forth to HDTV monitor connections.

It emphasizes user-friendliness and simplicity, as in the case of the NewCare line of converters we also adore in terms of uncomplicated functionality.

A Retro-Gaming Must-Have: The Portta Component to HDMI Converter doesn’t only work with the Nintendo Wii. The downside is that because it’s not an upscaler, so you’re limited to an analog 480i signal converted to a 480p digital HDMI signal. A component to HDMI converter refers to devices that convert component source media like the Nintendo Wii, classic 2000s DVD players, early release Blu-Ray players with a 1080i input, and older generation VCRs and so forth into HDMI-compatible signals for HDTVs, monitors, and projectors. Then again, you can use your converter or an app to change the aspect ratio from standard to widescreen anyway.

It’s an excellent remedy to many frustrating problems that have to do with connecting vintage media sources with modern displays, such as conversion issues, fidelity, color, contrast, and pixilation/artifacting. You can’t for instance connect an HDMI DVD player or Blu-ray player to an analog TV that supports component video. That’s the thing when it comes to adapters—they’re best used for computer monitors instead of HDTVs.

However, ultimately, the Portta wins out because it’s made for HDTVs and the conversion is more assured due to the more dependable nature of converters when compared to the more sensitive adapters that might not work in certain situations or conditions. Most gamers prefer to play on the original 480p resolution to get the most faithful rendition of what they’re playing without missing anything in terms of the screen real estate of the action that’s going on in the motion-controlled polygonal world. Perhaps there are compatibility issues with some displays if the device doesn't support it at all, even if it's not used.
