you mean for rca cables? probably need some sort of multimedia device to manage the different signals and split it out as rca like a receiver. 12/24/2011 9:03:45 AM |

I can't tell if Walter should be yelled at for giving such horrible advice, or commended for putting it in such a shitty thread.
The last time I looked (~8 months ago) something like this wasn't possible for less than $100. Although seeing something like this, it says it supports HDCP so, it might actually work. I don't know for sure.] 12/24/2011 2:59:20 PM |

^Those cables are not scams. If I remember correctly there were a few ATI cores that would allow use of such a cable, and included one in the box (I have an AverMedia TV capture card that included one of those.)
Another (possible) use would be if you had existing cabling run through a wall/ceiling and wanted to upgrade your equipment. You could use the existing in-wall cabling to transmit a newer HDMI signal by using one of these on each end.
But 99.9% of the people who buy them have no idea HDMI doesn't work the way they think. 12/26/2011 12:29:02 AM |

No, they're not technically scams, but they are most likely always sold under misleading pretenses (i.e. they might be useful for anyone except for a very small group of people) I just thought it was an amusing video and likely something that would be appropriate advice for someone looking for an "Hdmi to av" cable.] 12/26/2011 6:02:54 PM |
