Audio Authority's Description

Digital Optical to Coaxial Audio Converter

Model 977RPO

If you need to distribute the same video signal to TVs with HD component inputs as well as TVs with composite or S-Video inputs, you need the 1361.

Downconverts HDTV or PC signals to 480i component, s-video, or composite output. Features passthrough.

For simple component to composite or s-video applications, consider the Model 1360.

Perfect for interfacing HD and SD signals from an Audio Authority AVAtrix system into a standard-definition television.

Mixed Signal Distribution Systems

Many satellite receivers and cable boxes do not offer simultaneous output on YPbPr and composite outputs. To distribute the same signal to TVs with HD component inputs as well as TVs with composite or S-Video inputs, a quality down-converter is needed to make both resolutions of the same content available to the distribution system.

  • Switchable PC or HDTV Inputs
  • NTSC or PAL Outputs, Composite, S-Video or Component
  • Supports PC Inputs up to UXGA (1600x1200@60Hz)
  • Supports HDTV inputs up to 1080i
  • Loop thru inputs - Both PC and HDTV
  • Adjustable image scaling: Pan, Position and Zoom
  • Aspect Ratio adjustment
  • Remote Control with On Screen Display

It can also handle computer resolutions up to UXGA (1600 x 1200 at 60Hz) vertical refresh rate.
