Q: 1. What video capture software does this work best with? I'm on a Mac. Thanks.

A: This is not a capture device therefore it can not connect to your computer or interact with any software. First you will need to get a capture device such as the Atomos Connect 4K (BH #ATOMCON001 • MFR #ATOMCON001) to capture the HDMI output from this converter into your computer and then you can use just about any capture software that you like. some of the popular ones are vMix Basic HD Live Production Software (Download) B&H # VMSCSIVMIXBS MFR # SCSI-VMIX-BASIC and Telestream Wirecast Studio for Windows B&H # TEWCSW MFR # WC-STU-W

Q: 4. I am looking for cable or a device to convert from VHS video signal to high resolution digital video signal. From Q&A, it looks can convert composite RCA signal to HDMI. Which software do I need to capture the signal from HDMI? Does this work with Windows 10? Thanks.

A: Well, I can answer your first question. This device produce a very nice picture on 720X30 and 1080X60. Both, on an regular HDMI TV or an HDMI monitor. However, I purposely bought this converter for my 4KX2KX18X720 capable Ninja Flame professional monitor, but having major issues. Non of the resolutions are usable. The screen is running (like it would be PAL) with both, 1080 and the 720.The 4k resolution is just weird, out of focus and shaky. So For my Ninja, this converter is not working at this moment. Sorry, how to record it with a PC, I wouldn't know. My plan was to record it with an HDMI recorder.

Q: 5. Can I use this device to connect my Dell Inspiron 5302 desktop (Windows 8.1), which has no HDMI port, to my HDTV (which is at least 7 years old)?Will it also require an HDMI cable?

A: Yes

Q: 6. If a 4:3 aspect ratio composite video signal is input, will the 4:3 aspect ratio be preserved when the hdmi output is displayed on a modern monitor, or is the image stretched to 16:9 aspect ratio?

A: This device allows you to select the scaling and zooming that works best for the image.

Q: 7. I have an old Sony J-10 Betacam SP player with DV outputs that I'd like to digitize some old BetaSP tapes - will this work, and if so, is there a software interface to this product?

A: There are a list of J-10 input/output interfaces:Sync- BNC (x 1 input)Composite Video- BNC (x 1 output)Composite Video- RCA (x 1 output)S-Video- 4-Pin (x 1 output)FireWire- 6-Pin (x 1 output)Analog Component Video- 3-BNC (x 1 output)Audio- XLR (x 2 output)Audio- RCA (x 2 output)RS-422A- 9-Pin (x 1)RS-232C- 9-Pin (x 1)Headphones- 1/4-Inch Stereo (x 1 output)You don't need all of them EXEPT FireWire - 6-Pin (x 1 output)Connect it directly to your computer. Standard packages as iMovie or Premiere are working with FireWire very well (you have to have FireWire input on your computer, which is standard for old Mac, or Thunderbolt/FireWire adapter, or other FireWire input adapter for PC).With FireWire you will have the highest image quality, which is impossible with other output interfaces.

Q: 8. I want to take the RCA output of my cameras and pass it through this unit to have upscaled HDMI output. I am trying to extend the useful life of my cameras - which are otherwise excellent! The other issue is I still need to record the video to something. Do you have any suggestions for this type of setup? Thank you!

A: I use it for a similar set up and it works fine.I use a stand alone dvr.

Q: 9. will it do 1600 by 1200 25p HD-SDI?

Q: 10. I have a Pioneer Elite Laserdisc player. DVL-91. Purchased new Sony Smart TV. Only has HDMI and component. All I want to do is dust off my LD player and watch our LD movie collection. Will this work? Aspect ratio be messed with? Please help!

A: I have a Pioneer DVL-700; I have to control the aspect ratio from the display with this converter. There is one best combination of the scale & zoom buttons; patience will find it. Then tuck the thing away where no one will try to fiddle with the buttons once you have it set up properly.
