RGB / YPbPr to HDMI converter: a PS1 or PS2 on today's TVs
Recent TVs no longer have a SCART socket or component input, and a PS2 connected via composite looks blurry on them. This BitFunx box takes the console's analogue signal, in RGB or YPbPr, and outputs it as 1080p HDMI with sound, over a single cable. No need to open the console, no soldering.
What it does
- 1080p HDMI output: the analogue signal is scaled to a resolution that current TVs and monitors accept without any special settings.
- Two analogue inputs: a physical switch toggles between RGB and YPbPr (component) depending on the cable used on the console.
- Retro modes supported: 240p, 288p, 480i and 576i, i.e. the standard PS1 and PS2 outputs at both 50 and 60 Hz.
- Metal case, button control: powered by a micro-USB cable, controls on the front, nothing to install on a computer.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't improve the original resolution. Going from 240p or 576i to 1080p enlarges the image but adds no detail: this isn't the line-by-line processing of a high-end scaler.
- It doesn't handle the 480p progressive or 1080i modes offered by a few PS2 games: accepted resolutions are limited to 240p, 288p, 480i and 576i. Leave the console in interlaced mode.
- It doesn't accept composite, S-Video or VGA: RGB and YPbPr only.
- It doesn't include the console's video cable or the HDMI cable.
- It doesn't bypass any protection: it's not a modchip, a region unlock or a backup loader.
Compatibility
Designed for PS1, PS One and PS2 consoles via their AV Multi Out port, provided you have the cable matching the chosen input: an RGB cable on one side, a YPbPr component cable on the other. Any source that only outputs composite or S-Video isn't covered, and the converter doesn't turn a composite signal into RGB.
Skill level required
None. The box connects between the console and the TV: video cable on the console side, HDMI on the screen side, micro-USB for power. No disassembly, no soldering, no cutting of the shell. Allow five minutes, most of it spent choosing the right position for the RGB / YPbPr switch.
In the box
- 1 RGB and YPbPr to HDMI converter, metal case.
- The console video cable, HDMI cable and micro-USB power supply are not guaranteed to be in the box: plan to provide them yourself.

SCART has disappeared from living rooms
A PS2 taken out of its box today runs into a TV that no longer has either SCART or a component input. That leaves composite, a signal in which colour and luminance travel mixed together, and the result is immediately visible: smeared edges, unreadable menu text. This converter tackles the problem at the source by keeping the signal separated, in RGB or YPbPr, all the way to the screen's HDMI port.
One BitFunx box, two inputs
BitFunx has been making this type of adapter across several console generations, and this one covers the two cables you can still find for a PlayStation: RGB and YPbPr component. A switch on the front selects the input, a button adjusts the output, the case is metal and a micro-USB power supply is all it needs. 240p, 288p, 480i and 576i modes are accepted, at both 50 and 60 Hz.
What a converter can't do
Better to say it before you buy: converting isn't restoring. A 480i image remains a 480i image, enlarged to 1080p so the screen accepts it, with no extra detail and no line processing like a lab-grade scaler. The 480p and 1080i progressive modes of a few PS2 games aren't supported, and neither the video cables nor the HDMI cable are included. If you're after reference-quality output, that's a different budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔌 Do I need to open or modify the console?
No. The converter sits between the console and the TV. No soldering, no disassembly, no modchip: it doesn't touch the original hardware.
🎮 Which consoles does it work with?
PS1, PS One and PS2, via their AV Multi Out port. You need the cable that matches the chosen input: an RGB cable or a YPbPr component cable.
🖥️ Will the picture be sharper than with composite?
Yes, because the signal stays separated from end to end in RGB or component. However, the original resolution doesn't change: 1080p enlarges the image, it doesn't redraw it.
📺 Does it handle the 480p mode of some PS2 games?
No. Accepted resolutions are 240p, 288p, 480i and 576i. Leave the console in interlaced mode, without forcing progressive scan or 1080i.
🔊 Does the sound also go through HDMI?
Yes, the audio is carried with the picture over the HDMI cable, so there's no separate audio connection to plan for.
📦 What's in the box?
An RGB and YPbPr to HDMI converter in a metal case. The console video cable, HDMI cable and micro-USB power supply are not guaranteed to be in the box.
🚚 What are the delivery times?
Delivery in 10 to 18 days, ships within 3 to 5 days.
🛡️ What warranty applies?

It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
