Buena Park, CA – December 2007… Hosa Technology, the leading innovator of analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician and audio/video professional, is pleased to introduce the company‘s new SVR-487 Video Adaptor. Designed specifically for A/V contractors and others who need a convenient means of adapting two common video signals, the SVR-487 Video Adaptor enables one to connect a device with an S-Video output to another device with a composite video input. The SVR-487 also works in reverse.

Hosa‘s new SVR-487 Video Adaptor is terminated with a male S-Video connector on one end and a female composite video connector on the other. The adapter‘s overall length is 6 inches. The SVR-487 combines the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals from S-Video into a composite video signal. This versatile adaptor features an internally-tuned and impedance-matched filter that maintains picture stability. For best results, Hosa recommends using the SVR-487 Video Adaptor with a high-quality 75-ohm composite video cable such as the company‘s DRA-500 series.

While not as common as S-Video to composite video conversion since composite video inputs are far more common than S-Video inputs, the SVR-487, nonetheless, works in reverse to connect a device with a component video output to a device with an S-Video input. This is accomplished by splitting the chrominance and luminance frequencies of composite video into the two separate S-Video signals.

Jonathan Pusey, Hosa Technology‘s National Marketing Manager, commented on the company‘s new SVR-487 Video Adaptor. “The new SVR-487 Video Adaptor is an ideal ‘widget‘ for the A/V contractor who encounters the need to convert an S-Video signal to composite video. While this conversion is never desirable, it does crop up, and the new SVR-487 Video Adaptor makes the process simple.”

The new Hosa SVR-487 Video Adaptor carries a MSRP of $10.35 and is available now. All Hosa cables and adaptors purchased in the USA are warranted by Hosa Technology, Inc. to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser.
