Size: 58mm x 33mm x 12.6mm

Supply Voltage: 5V
Video Input:  Component
Audio Input: Digital Surround Sound
Video Output: HDMI™
Compatibility: NTSC and PAL (all resolutions are supported!)
Latency: LAG FREE!!


This tiny, power-packed module takes in the Component video and audio output from the Original Xbox and outputs an HDMI™ signal with embedded Dolby Surround Sound (if that audio setting is enabled in your Xbox’s settings). Unlike other converters on the market, the ElectronXout is compatible with all versions of the Original Xbox!

This module utilizes a fully custom PCB with a higher quality, next generation IC compared to what is typically used on the widely available analog-to-digital modules that are readily available online. If you are not happy with those modules, then you will absolutely be happy with these.

These modules are not compatible with the Xbox 360. These are only intended for use with the Original Xbox.

Make sure that your Xbox's audio settings are set as follows:

Audio Mode: Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital: Disabled
DTS: Disabled

This module efficiently supports all of the resolutions that are default to the Original Xbox. This module is able to support all of the following resolutions although they are not all achievable outputs from the original Xbox: 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p25/30/50/60, 1080i50/60, 1080p24/25/30/50/60.

Wavy Lines? Vertical Stripes? Jail Bars?

When using the ElectronXout, some customers have reported seeing wavy lines across the image, green/purple stripes, or vertical jailbars. Here are some examples of these image problems and ways to solve them, if possible. 

Often times these image problems do not appear with the "normal" Xbox cables since those utilize Composite (CVBS) video - you can tell they are Composite cables if they use yellow, white, and red RCA jacks.  The ElectronXout utilizes the higher fidelity Component (YPbPr) video which is a different video signal from CVBS altogether. 

Wavy Lines and Green/Purple Stripes

You can open each of these images in a new tab to see them larger as examples of this behavior.

Examples of wavy lines:

Examples of green/purple stripes:

If your Xbox is exhibiting this behavior, then more often than not the image quality can be improved significantly by replacing the main electrolytic capacitors on the power supply unit (PSU).  The specific capacitors to replace vary for every PSU version.  For example on a model FTPS-0007 RevB PSU, replacing these large electrolytic capacitors with new, equivalent parts has been shown to completely remove this problematic behavior (C18 in the picture below was already removed).

 

Jail Bars

Some consoles have been known to produce faint jail bars in the image that are picked up and displayed by the high quality converter inside of the ElectronXout. 

These consoles can also benefit from capacitor replacements as described above, but also forcing the system to output a 480p resolution instead of a 480i resolution has been known to solve this problem. That can typically be done by "soft modding" your console via the various methods found across the web.

There are some consoles that are known to experience this more often than others as described in this nice write up here.

Old Hardware

With this newest version of this module, V3, the Digital Surround Sound audio input has been fixed to work with every revision of the Xbox.  V1 and V2 versions will not be shipped out any longer. All orders will be fulfilled with V3 versions.

After the first release of these modules we received some reports that they were not producing sound output when used with Xbox units with Revision 1.0 hardware while connected to some specific TVs and sound bars. We released a V2 version of the module that looked to solve this issue with the addition of a small switch that allows the user to swap between analog and digital surround sound.    The new V3 unit completely solves the audio issue and allows for digital surround sound on all Xbox units.

This information is only being kept here for individuals who still own a V2 unit.  This switch does not exist on the V3 version.

There is a small, accessible selector switch inside of the product on the side that has the HDMI™ connector. This switch allows the user to switch between using the analog or surround sound audio output from the Xbox.

Notes:

  • When the switch position is changed the module must be disconnected and reconnected to your Xbox for the change to take effect.
  • Be sure to select the correct audio output in the Xbox settings. Failing to do so will result in no sound output.

Surround Sound Audio

When the selector switch is to the left then only the surround sound audio is being used.

Analog Audio

When the selector switch is to the right then only the analog audio is being used.

Amazing

Hands down, simply the best OG Xbox display adapter. Don’t bother with alternatives (like I did before buying this). There’s no competition. You will not be sorry about your purchase of the electronxout!

Hands down the best HDMI adapter for the price that you can get for an original Xbox

Having recently bought a modded original Xbox since it's the only sixth generation console that isn't up to par in regards to emulation compared to its competition at the time, I wanted to get the best picture quality that I could out of the console without breaking the bank, so with this adapter plus the mClassic from Marseilles Inc. to upscale and sharpen the image on my 43" 4K LG TV, games that able to output in 480p or 720p look cleaner than ever while producing an excellent lag-free signal. Overall, I'm satisfied with the adapter and what it sets out to do.

Excellent image quality in a small case!

After several months of use, I can say that it was a great purchase. The adapter at this price is completely unbeatable. On my TCL50C725 TV it works very well, the image scales to the native proportions of the TV without significant distortion, it is also satisfyingly sharp. I get such good results using a good quality HDMI cable. The adapter does not heat up too much during operation, despite the fact that the AV socket is located right next to the Xbox OG ventilation hole. To sum up: image sharpness and work culture at a very high level compared to the offered price. Even though I had to bring it all the way across the ocean to Europe, it was worth waiting three weeks for it to arrive.

Fantastic Product

Definitely way better than the original version. Glad I bought the new version. Makes the XBOX very easy to connect to modern equipment.
