HDMI converter for Saturn: connecting the console to a modern screen
The Saturn was not designed for HDMI TVs. This converter plugs into its AV port, takes the S-Video signal, cleaner than composite, and converts it to HDMI with a stated 1080p output. A selector lets you choose between the original 4:3 format and a 16:9 display.
What it does
- S-Video input: separate luminance and colour, a sharper image than the composite of the original cable.
- HDMI output: scaling to a stated 1080p for recent screens.
- 4:3 / 16:9 selector: original proportions or an image stretched across the full width.
What it doesn't do
- It does not reach the quality of an RGB chain: S-Video remains a notch below an RGB cable combined with a dedicated upscaler.
- It does not add detail: the Saturn's image is enlarged, not redrawn.
- In 16:9, the image is stretched: 4:3 respects the games' proportions.
- It needs USB power: a USB port on the TV or a charger will do.
Compatibility
Saturn, via its original AV port and its S-Video signal. It is of no use for consoles from other brands, and does not replace an RGB cable if you are aiming for the best possible image.
Skill level required
None. You plug the converter into the Saturn's AV port, connect an HDMI cable to the TV and power the box via USB. No opening of the console, no soldering.

The job: bringing out the Saturn without hunting for a SCART socket
The living-room TV no longer has a SCART socket and the Saturn is waiting in its box. You plug the converter into the console's AV port, an HDMI cable to the screen, a USB cable to power it, and choose the picture format. No console settings, no tools.
The part: S-Video, a good compromise
S-Video separates luminance and colour, which removes a good share of composite's colour bleeding. It is not worth a full RGB chain, but it offers a clean image with a single box, without a specific cable or an expensive upscaler. The 4:3 or 16:9 selector leaves the choice of proportions to you.
Support: from connection to picture
If the screen stays black, first check the USB power and the HDMI input selected on the TV. If the problem persists, our customer service replies within 1 business day. The 2-year legal guarantee of conformity covers the converter you receive.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔧 Does the console need to be modified?
No. The converter plugs into the Saturn's original AV port.
🎮 Which consoles is it compatible with?
The Saturn only, via its S-Video signal.
📺 Is it as good as an RGB cable?
No. S-Video is better than composite, but an RGB cable combined with a dedicated upscaler gives a sharper image.
🔌 Does it need a power supply?
Yes, USB power: a USB port on the TV or a small charger will do.
📐 4:3 or 16:9, which should I choose?
4:3 respects the games' original proportions. 16:9 fills the screen but stretches the image.
📦 What is in the box?
The converter in the chosen model. The HDMI and USB cables are not guaranteed: plan to provide them.
🚚 What are the delivery times?
Delivery in 10 to 18 days, dispatched within 3 to 5 days.
🛡️ What guarantee applies?
2-year legal guarantee of conformity. 14-day returns. Customer service replies within 1 business day.
Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
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.
