Hello


I would like to know the following if a DVR has component inputs can I assume that I can use it for record gameplay from my PS3 or any other source TV etc?


Also if the DVR has 480p,720p and 1080i can I select which one I want?

Currently I have got a Philips DVDR3400 model 37 which has component inputs but can only go up to 480i, I haven't yet purchased the LKV384 which is an HDMI to component video + stereo audio converter.

I wanted to know if this setup can work with hte Philips DVDR3400 and then with a DVR like in the image I posted above?

I only have experience with the HDMI>Composite/S-Video converter and it works well, as described here.


I can't see why a HDMI>Component converter wouldn't also work, and maybe better since that same link I gave describes a Component>Composite/S-Vid converter that's not quite as good as the HDMI converter. So, converting to Component *should* be a step better?

@wajo: Thanks for your answer I am going then to purchase it, and I will put results my concerns are because the converter is because Philips DVDR3400 goes up to 480i and the converter goes up from 480p to 1080i.


Also my first question was about DVRS that have component input and can record directly in 480p 576p 720p and/or 1080i, do you think that the same setup would apply and can it be made, because I would like to import it from China since it is the only country in the world, right now that I see a DVR has capability plus you can grab the content from the usb port of the DVR, to an external usb hard drive

Well, I don't have a PS3 and have only read of people recording their game play, most successfully. I know my HDMI>Composite/S-Vid converter strips Copy Protection (and CC) but I don't think that will affect PS3 output. Just don't know, sorry.


If you do want to get the HDMI>Component converter, they're available in the U.S. from many places, including Monoprice ($39.92), where I got my converter. They're also an AVS sponsor and great for cables.

@wajo: Thanks but I'm from Europe I am going to order through ebay but regarding the DVR if the DVR has component inputs it can take out directly the recordings in 720p and 1080i right with this little device?

 

[7558037]

You'll have to check the specs of the DVR you're talking about. If it's a true DVR (no DVD burner), it prob. does have settngs for resolutions/formats, but make sure before you buy. and make sure it is settable/selectable by the user.

@wajo:I have pmed you with the details of the DVR if you could take a look at the settings of it I appreciate


Thanks wajo

Could you also PM me on the DVR with components input details?


Thank You

48wiekjhf,


Thank You,


I was reading the manual and looks like it is a PAL unit. Is PAL the standard where you reside? Do you know if there is an NTSC version of this unit?

 

[48wiekjhf]

@Logic Design: Like I said in the pm this unit is only being sold atm in China not anywhere else in the world, so it would be hard to get but not impossible.


I live in Europe so it's not where I reside.


From the same company that is selling that converter I saw that there is a ntsc/pal converter so there is something that can help you out if you want to change the version


I will reply with more of my findings on how to import from China, but before I order I am going to call the Headquarters even if I have to speak to some Chinese from that company and ask for a person that speas English, just to know if that USB function is the real deal, I will keep you posted
