Ok well i think you guys are missing the point in this item. First of all no matter what kind of magic touch or hardware you have you aren't going to turn a 480p or 720p (xbox) video source into full 1080p. Think of it like this, you have a pc that is only capable of 1024x768 (for instance), even if you connect it to a 1080p hdtv you won't get anything above 1024x768 resolution. The same thing applies here. However this is useful to those who have more hdmi ports than component ports, which applies to nearly all the hdtvs on the market right now. Also it only has one set of component ports because that is all you need. If it had 3 sets it would require 3x as many components inside the device thus increasing the price substantially, putting it out of the reach of most consumers. With the xcm multi-console cable v3 you can connect 3-4 consoles using just one set of component outputs. That along with this would make for an ideal combination for alot of people who own all the last generation consoles. This device is mainly meant for people who need the component jacks for their dvd player, satellite dish, cable box, etc. If you dont like this unit, then by all means don't buy it. Its great xcm comes out with this sort of thing, for the ones who do want it and need it.
LMAO... exactly what I was thinking.
The picture quality between VGA, Component 1080i and HDMI 1080p is exactly the same. I own a 42" LCD and a DLP projector projecting onto a 107" screen. I have an XBOX 1 and a 360.
Why the hell are you using component for your Wii? It's not even High Definition! Get your priorities straight
You could save some money by swapping component imputs from your Wii to your 360 to get 1080i - or waste money on a box you'll have to swap inputs on anyways to acheive the same result.
This could be useful if you had a receiver that did component switching then you could have 2 or more devices plugged into it before sending the signal to this box.
I couldn't tell from the video if the video quality was THAT good to warrant picking this up.
Nice Find! At least with the optical input, you'll be able to preserve (assuming) the 5.1 audio from the original XBOX. However, the component output on my XBOX is just fine with XBMC so again.. another useless overpriced box from XCM.
First of all if you cannot tell the difference between composite and component on the wii then you need glasses, plain and simple. You don't need a high def signal to notice the difference between a connection that uses one single cable to transmit the video signal or 3 different cables that seperate each color. The difference is definately noticable, even to near sighted people. I also take offense to you calling it useless. Just because YOU don't need it, doesn't mean noone on the planet does.
