Hey All,

I am adding a vintage/nostalgic element to my 4k projector home theater setup and hoping to find an XD/XE, iScan Duo, or the like, so that I can implement a D-VHS/SVHS and Laserdisc for playback as well as to capture old family videos into my PC. Open to suggestions as well if there is anything currently in production that would be suitable. Basically just want component/composite video scaling with combined audio into HDMI output.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately Radiance models with analog inputs are incredibly hard to find and rare. I get emails about them almost weekly for the same reasons you mention (laserdisc is the most common usage). At one time I was keeping a list of names as we would sometimes see one through a trade-in or similar, but I've stopped collecting names as the list got to be very long.

Other scaler brands with analog inputs would definitely be easier to find so I'd focus on that assuming you're not set on Radiance. Good luck!

I get it, I'm a decade late on this stuff! Just hoping I would get lucky here. I see a Radiance on eBay now, but it doesn't appear to have the remote, so I'm leery about getting something like that only to use through RS-232.
