Apple TV Converter for original Apple TV
View the Original Apple TV on a regular TV and/or record* the AppleTV content to DVD with a DVD Recorder.
NOTE: The new smaller, black, Apple TV2 only outputs HDMI, so this product is not compatible with the new Apple TV2. If you would like to convert the HDMI port on the new Apple TV2 to S-Video or Composite Video, then consider our HDMI Video converters.
Our AppleTV Converter is an exclusive converter of svideo.com This product is not sold through distribution, retailers or other resellers; we only sell it on this website. This product converts the 480i Component Video from Component Video sources (such as AppleTV, Vudu, TiVo HD, DVD Players, Sat HD DVRs, and other 480i sources) to S-Video and Composite Video, allowing you to use Standard TVs or other equipment (such as DVD Recorders*) that have an S-Video or Composite Video input. You can also use this box and our RF Modulator to connect to TVs that only have an RF Coax input.
This product is a plug-and-play automatic hardware decoder that provides instant decoding of the high quality component video signal to facilitate the viewing of content on televisions or other devices that do not have component video input.
Note: if using this product with the Apple TV you need to first disconnect the power cord on the Apple TV so that the Apple TV will reset itself and allow for the 480i component video option. Do not connect an HDMI cable to the Apple TV as it will then block the 480i option on the Video Settings of the Apple TV; until you again disconnect the power cord on the Apple TV. The Apple TV does not appear to be able to output both HDMI and Component at the same time...if you know of a hack, please let us know.
This is a "must have" product to connect your Apple TV through the S-Video (aka SVHS) input or composite video input of standard (non-wide screen) televisions.
