Q: 1. What video capture software does this work best with? I'm on a Mac. Thanks.

A: This is not a capture device therefore it can not connect to your computer or interact with any software. First you will need to get a capture device such as the Atomos Connect 4K (BH #ATOMCON001 • MFR #ATOMCON001) to capture the HDMI output from this converter into your computer and then you can use just about any capture software that you like. some of the popular ones are vMix Basic HD Live Production Software (Download) B&H # VMSCSIVMIXBS MFR # SCSI-VMIX-BASIC and Telestream Wirecast Studio for Windows B&H # TEWCSW MFR # WC-STU-W

Q: 3. I want to take the RCA output of my cameras and pass it through this unit to have upscaled HDMI output. I am trying to extend the useful life of my cameras - which are otherwise excellent! The other issue is I still need to record the video to something. Do you have any suggestions for this type of setup? Thank you!

A: I use it for a similar set up and it works fine.I use a stand alone dvr.

Q: 5. I'm disappointed with the scrunched aspect ratio when I plug my Apple TV 3 into my 36 Sony Standard definition CRT, through my eBay-cheap HDMI to RCA Analog Converter. My Sony has the Apple TV image scrunched vertically, with faces and people displaying narrow. I cant live with that? I have have gone to Settings/Audio & Video/TV Resolution and none of the settings will get rid of the scrunched screen, not even 640 x 480 - 60hz. Would this KanexPro adapter display the image from my Apple TV 3 on my old Analog 4:3 Sony CRT TV undistorted in 4x3 format?

A: Apple TVs output an HD, 16x9 signal through their HDMI output. This KanexPro will not work for you, nor am I aware of any product that will turn that to a 4x3 format without it looking squished.

Q: 6. Does this work with HDMI 24p input?

A: No, it needs a HDMI 30i signal.

Q: 7. Where is it made?

A: The Country of Origin for this product is China.

Q: 8. does include the power supply?

A: Yes, the attached power adapter is included in the box.

Q: 9. Is the composite output aspect ratio 4x3 or 16x9?

A: The output aspect ratio is 4x3, and is a standard NTSC analog 640 horizontal by 480 vertical lines (interlaced), which can be displayed by any device with a composite (yellow RCA connector) input. The Kanex will accept an HDMI 480, 720, or 1080 vertical line input and downscale it to 480 lines.However, the output image you see depends on the format of the HDMI input and the formatting capabilities of composite display. Formatting refers to the ability to crop, fill, or distort the display. Since a 16x9 format will not directly fit a 4x3 display, one of these 3 options must be used: Cropping removes left and right side portions of the image to fill the display. Distortion squeezes in the sides of the image to fill the display. Filling adds black bars at the top and bottom of the image (Letterbox mode) to fill the display. The Kanex does no cropping or distortion; with a standard 16x9 HDMI input signal, it displays in Letterbox mode. None of the image is cropped or distorted, but instead filled to fit the 640x480 (4x3) format. In my situation, I pull 16x9 video from a PC, edit on an old composite 4x3 DVR, and display on an old 4x3 CRT. Output quality is good with very good color. I do notice some brightness and contrast shifts from the source, which need touching up on the display unit or color corrector if you have one.Hope this helps!

Q: 10. Can I use this device to get stereo audio output from my Panasonic TV HDMI output? I have no other way to hook the audio from my TV to my stereo system. I've tried optical DACs that say they will work but they don't.

A: The HDMI jack on the TV is very likely an input, not an output. It is intended to connect FROM a cable box, DVD player etc. TO your TV and not the other way around. Your television probably has analog audio out jacks (red and white), an optical digital output and maybe a coax digital output (orange). Your owners manual will identify the input and output jacks and they should be labeled HDMI 1 in or audio out or similar wording. The red/white should almost certainly connect your TV to the amp or better, connect one of the cable box outputs to the amp.
