Extron's RGB-HDMI 300 converts component / RGBHV to HDMI

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 5th 2008 at 7:19AM

What is this, the unofficial week for dishing out HDMI equipment? Shortly after seeing an HDMI repeater and distribution amplifier from two separate companies comes Extron Electronics to tempt your wallet once more. The RGB-HDMI 300 conveniently converts incoming analog component video and RGBHV signals to HDMI, and while it won't accept Discover, it will play nice with HDTV resolutions up to 1,920 x 1,200. You can also select from a number of HDMI output rates including 1080p60, and the slim profile makes it easy to hide on the backside of a flat-panel. No mention of a price, but we're guessing it'll be somewhere between "costly" and "for real?".

Gefen already has a converter for component video (+ analog audio) to HDMI - see SKU:EXT-COMPAUD-2-HDMIN.

The Gefen is probably a good product for the home install.

The Extron is a lot more feature loaded and designed for professional installations. I have just been looking for a WUXGA scaler and this is going to fit my need well, even has RS-232. I just don't see why it has HDMI, as opposed to DVI-D which has screws to keep it from coming loose.
