Tangxi HDMI Modulator RF Modulator for PAL NTSC Format, Composite VHF UHF AV to RF Converter, RF Modulator TV Audio Video Converter for Home TV(F Female)

This Tangxi HDMI Modulator is an excellent choice for converting AV signals to RF with ease. It supports both PAL and NTSC formats, making it versatile for different regions. The setup was straightforward, and the picture quality remains clear without noticeable interference. It’s a great solution for connecting older TVs or distributing signals across multiple screens. The build quality feels solid, and the F-type female connector ensures a secure fit. If you need a reliable RF modulator for your home setup, this one does the job perfectly. Highly recommend!

Do you have a family member who delivers the term ‘1080p’ as a punchline? who laments the demise of the CRT? who has game controllers connected to an emulator, connected to a vintage display, connected to a set of discarded computer speakers? who reminds you how mid your OLED display scrolling is? Get them this for Xbox, er, Xmas this year. It will join the happy tangles of DIN and HDMI cables that bring Sonic to the not-so-big screen. You might actually get your props, or even some cred…. Compatibility seems adequate, perhaps good, maybe great. Ease of use is as good as your son/daughter is proficient with tech. They can give vintage or unwanted devices like game consoles a second life.

It doesn't include an antenna, which sort of seems odd since it's an RF device. The instructions are okay, but written by someone who clearly doesn't speak English and does not seem to understand how to communicate some of the most important aspects of this system, like how to configure it for the different TV regions of PAL and NTSC. If you live in the USA, then use the mode button to browse to AU, then figure out rest on your own. Obviously <eye roll> the system will now be in NTSC mode and you should be able to interact with channels for this region. If you're into PAL then do the same thing but select any other setting than the one you just had to figure out on your own. See how annoying that is? I'd give it a 4 or 5 if the manual writer would have spent some time caring enough about their product to just get an English speaker to QC the instructions.

Some reviews said picture quality was poor but I did not experience this considering it was a CRT type TV that this was intended for. It worked out just fine. The instructions could be better but they are a little intuitive if you study them a little bit. It's not plug and play. Be aware of that. But once setup it does what it is supposed to do. And the good thing is, if there is a power outage, it retains the settings.

We purchased this as a “quick fix” to get video from one place in the house to a TV in a different area of the house, until we can rerun cables. Before I went through the work to install the device for its intended purpose, for testing, I connected a modem Xbox to the HDMI of the device and fed a short piece of coax into a small (<30”) modern flatscreen TV. The channel selection interface needed a bit of basic understanding of different worldwide broadcast frequencies/standards to find the “channel 3” for our country. The image quality was low - text was double imaged/ghosted/blurry. I’ve seen similar behaviors from a Xbox when using bad HDMI cables and it downscales to the lowest resolution and HDMI protocols. Alternatively, this could be the device introducing the ghosting. Either way, for a device which lists 1080p resolution, it’s not able to achieve that resolution and picture quality in this configuration. Although this device says it’s HDCP (HDMI copy protection) compatible, when trying to watch a Blu-ray from the Xbox on the TV the video player app froze (no error about HDCP not supported, just froze). Launching streaming services was successful, but didn’t try to watch a full video or multiple apps. To try to reduce the ghosting I tried to adjust the dials, which require a small Philips screwdriver. A normal household screwdriver is too large of a diameter to fit into the holes and a small “pen” or eyeglass screwdriver is too small to engage the dial. I’ve seen many dials which are both slotted and Phillips head — this is not one of them. Although a small standard (straight) blade screwdriver would have easily fit through the cutout in the case, the lack of the dial being able to accept either made this not an option. After about a half dozen screwdrivers, I found one which fit (barely) into the hole and could turn the dial. The video adjustment dial seems to simply be brightness and had no noticed effect on video quality.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I got this converter to hook stuff up to an old TV I had acquired with RF only input. I got it all hooked up, and when I plugged my laptop into it, the signal was awful. No matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t get it to output clear video with HDMI input. It did work perfectly when I used composite video with a SNES, I don’t have a picture but it did work. The main point is that I got it hoping I could connect modern things to an old TV, and it didn’t do that at all.

worked like a charm for my older crt! only complaint is the resolution stays 16:9 no matter what, even if the input is 4:3; but im using it for pc so im okay with that but could be very annoying for some!

I got this modulator since it is very moderately priced and claimed to support a variety of PAL flavours along with NTSC...and has hdmi input. It works very well. It correctly modulates NTSC, PAL-B, PAL-G, PAL-I, and PAL-D/K. I only wish that it supported PAL-N, but when you select 4.5MHz audio carrier NTSC is the only option. I wish PAL-M and PAL-N weren't so hard to find, but the five signals it does generate are perfect. I'm giving it four stars because of the strange way it breaks up channels into blocks. It does VHF and UHF but you have to select bands of frequencies for it to test against. Minor issue that is completely ok to deal with.

Lo usé para ver anime viejito en una tv antigua desde mi laptop y funciona bastante bien. Cómo recomendación, si lo van a usar de la misma forma cambien la resolución de su PC a 480p

It works. Only needed to try a few settings and the old RCA tube screen came back to life connected to the new Rogers Ignite style set-top boxes. No qualms!

Très satisfait fonctionne a merveille !!!

To add insult to injury, the unit is missing three control knobs.
