1. Introduction
The CV/SV to DVI-I Converter is a compact device that allows you to show
content from Composite Video (CV) or S-Video (SV) sources on PC monitors
or Component televisions. Compact and lightweight this easy to use device
allows you to convert CV/SV (NTSC or PAL) formatted content to DVI-I (digital
and analog) resolutions from XGA to UXGA or HD resolutions from 480p to
1080p and thanks to frame rate conversion you can view content from DVD/
Blu-Ray players or game consoles on DVI monitors. With advanced 3D motion
adaptive de-interlace that helps to eliminate jagged edges when displaying
content on TV’s, the CM-398DI CV/SV to DVI-I Converter is a useful tool for
professionals that work with CV/SV sources and DVI displays.
