Lag/Latency Information
The core technology at the heart of the ElectronPulse does not introduce any lag or latency in the output image. That means that the provided input analog video is quickly converted into the same resolution output video via HDMI™.
However, it is important to note that some TVs and displays are unable to properly process low resolution 480i HDMI™ video without introducing some noticeable lag on the output. If that occurs with your display, then it is recommended to utilize a high quality, low latency HDMI™ scaler on the output of the ElectronPulse to scale the 480i video to a higher resolution prior to being received by your display.
These scalers include the following (non-affiliate links) in order from most-to-least capable:
- RetroTINK-4K
- Morph 4K
- mClassic (not compatible with 240p HDMI signals)
- a soon to be released Electron Shepherd option...

Amazing, I was previously using company cables into an OSSC but this has immediately surpassed and simplified that setup.
Works great, the games look jus as good as the rereleases that were released on the next gen consoles
The best PS2 HDMI converter on the market. Seriously look no place else. This is a must have for modern tv’s and retro gamers.
This is a great little HDMI converter and in my experience one of the best for the PS2. My GF bought this for me as an upgrade from a different converter (can't remember the name of it now) that I have which worked but didn't have as clean or consistent of an output as the Pulse.
One note I want to add: If you use this converter and you're not getting any video out, try changing the settings to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr using different cables then switch to the ElectronPulse. The system will not display anything if video output is set to RGB, unlike some other HDMI converters that will just be discolored if set to the wrong output (ex: my old converter wanted it set to RGB and would make everything green when set to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr). I have more information about that below if you'd like to read:
Recently the power supply in my PS2 died on me, and when I replaced it the PS2 was turning on but I wasn't getting any video out. Naturally, I took everything apart to see if there was any other damage I missed but everything was fine internally. I tried plugging in composite cables as well as the old HDMI converter I have and I got video out using those, but not from the Pulse. I thought it might've died around the same time as the PSU, maybe a power surge took both of them out but that didn't make a ton of sense to me as all the other consoles I had plugged into the same surge protector are still running fine. I was about to order another ElectronPulse when I saw the bit above about setting the video output to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr, so for the lols I changed the setting with one of the older cables, switched to the Pulse and it worked again! My guess is the system "forgot" the settings as the clock also reset (I probably should replace the battery haha).
Works well, especially for the price.
