[Coco] composite / s-video to hdmi

[Luis Antoniosi]

I have this one:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&p_id=4722&seq=1&format=2

and is useless for coco. It just doesn't like either the composite or
the hawk's s-video converter signal. The composite shows as black and
green striped screen and the s-video has too much bright blooming the
image so bad. Also, the artifact modes doesn't work either in s-video.
it blinks between gray/artifact colors. so annoying.

By the other hand it does accept wonderfully the commodore 64
composite and s-video signals. Even the european PAL it converts very
well to VGA.
