   Extensive Review: This unit doesn’t convert Xbox360 movie DVDs, but does play console and games., December 20, 2015

   This review is from: Portta PETRH RCA Component RGB YPbPr to HDMI v1.3 HDCP Video Audio Converter Adapter for HDTV, DVD, PSP, Xbox 360 and Wii – Not for Windows 10 (Electronics)

   I bought one of these, thought it was bad and returned it for another. I am connecting my Xbox360 into the Porta and outputting that HDMI to my new Samsung 4K UHD TV. The game console works and I can play games…HOWEVER…when I try to play a DVD movie on the Xbox my TV loses signal from the device and my screen goes blank. This happened on both units…identical problems.

   My hunch is that these Porta devices are not HDCP 2.2 compliant…and my new 4K TV is HDCP 2.2 compliant on all 4 HDMI ports. This only happens when I play movie DVDs. I have written the company for tech support (www.port-ta.com , in China) but I don’t have much confidence I will get any assistance with this issue. Another possibility is that the unit it doesn’t know how to convert Region 1 DVDs…but I doubt this is the issue as HDCP seems more logical.

   However, I have another RGB converter (from “C&E Component/VGA to HDMI” that has gone bad, no red signal) that is 4 years old which IS allowing DVDs to play to my new 4K TV. And I def know that unit is not HDCP 2.2 compliant…thus I am not too confident in my HDCP analysis. Regardless of the reason, this Porta isn’t allowing DVD movies to play.

   UPDATE 1: sending 2nd Portta back and ordering another converter from C&E…not the identical one mentioned in previous paragraph but just the straight Component to HDMI converter since I don’t need VGA this time around. However, this unit is advertised as “HDCP v1.3” which makes me think it may not work like the Portta didn’t. If this doesn’t work then I will just re-order a new Component/VGA to HDMI again and be done with it.

   UPDATE 2: I grabbed my older Samsung LCD TV (2007) to test this Portta device. Xbox360 -> Portta -> TV HDMI. Powered up the Xbox, saw the console come on the TV, played a game just fine…put in a movie and the screen went blank. So the same problem is happening on older TVs too and technically it should be an issue with the older TV because the 2007 TV is not going to have the same HDCP OR the same HDMI. And as best I can tell the older TV manual says to use HDMI 1.3 Cable…thus I assume those HDMI ports are v1.3 (there is no other reference to HDCP or HDMI version number in the manual).

   CONCLUSION : This Portta is def having some kind of HDCP issue. Plays games and the console just fine….but it can’t convert DVDs due to what I believe is this HDCP issue. I have now purchased an updated version of the C&E Component to HDMI converter (to replace the aforementioned (Update 1) component/vga one that was going bad) and will post my testing with it here.

   This works as advertised. I’m using it on an old Xbox 360 and have not had any issues with lag or image quality.

   This review is from: Portta PETRHS YPbPr Component Video and L/R RCA Audio to HDMI Converter Upscaler 720p 1080p – Not for Windows 10 (Electronics)

   I wanted to share what this unit CANNOT do. So Comcast gave me a HD HDMI box that has only a coaxial out (channel 3) and HDMI. My old HD TV only has component inputs. So I purchased thinking i could use to connect the TV to my box. It a one way devise. Apparently, from reading on the forums, HDMI is digitally protected, so you cannot this devise the way I had planned. I hope this review will help others not to make the same mistake I did…
