Each of the three $49 models was designed to match a specific Video Game Console: HG-300 for Game Cube, HG-310 for Playstation2 and HG-320 for X-Box. Maximum high resolution video performance is achieved because the signal is taken directly from the console’s output connector and sent directly to the up converter. Pass-thru connections to the Hi-Res Gamer are provided for VGA Video and Soundcard Audio from the PC, so it is easy to switch between a Video Game and PC signal on the PC Monitor and Speakers without moving around any cables.  This PC Loop-thru feature allows the unit to remain in your PC system and does not affect normal computer operation.  When you want to play a Video Game on the computer monitor, just flip a switch.  If fact, you do not even need a computer for operation - just the monitor.  You can get the HG-330 Universal model that works with all Video Game Consoles, but this flexibility costs a bit more.
