This output can also be configured as a Composite Sync output (for component inputs). In addition, the composite analog output provides an extra "Y" output for component inputs - this feature allows multi-format/standard monitoring when using a single black-and-white monitor. Sync, set-up (pedestal), and blanking are also configurable.

The component analog outputs are user-configurable to cover a wide range of formats including Y/R-Y/B-Y, RGB, Beta, and MII. The composite or NTSC/PAL output works only with composite (D2, D3) inputs. It provides component analog outputs for component serial inputs, a NTSC output for composite serial inputs, and a PAL output for 625 composite serial inputs.

The D10C automatically works with component or composite serial digital inputs in 525 or 625 line formats. The D10C is useful for converting analog monitors to serial digital monitors, waveform monitoring, or adding a serial input to VTRs, workstations, or other analog video equipment. I've got chargers everywhere, so no big deal to me.The AJA D10C serial to analog converter provides excellent quality 10 bit digital-to-analog conversion at-low cost. The K1 is powered by whatever it's connected to, so battery drain is a factor when connected to a mobile device. The K1 is a passive device, and it's defaults are what you get.

The EQ, Tube amp pro, sound upscaler, etc, are out of play because you are bypassing Samsung's controls. On the S8, your audio options are disabled when the K1 is in use. It also works on laptops and desktops right now I have it connected to my Boston Acoustics multimedia speakers on the desktop, and the difference between the DAC and the stock sound card in my Lenovo is really noticable. Plug your headphones into the K1 and you're done. Setup was easy, and the results are amazing let's just say max volume is too loud now, and the music sounds more natural.Īll you do is plug the adapter cable into the S8 and the K1, and the phone automatically detects the new audio device.

I've always thought the sound on the S8 could be better, and having read a previous post, I purchased the Fiio K1 DAC/Amp and a USB type C to mini USB adapter cable from Amazon.
