HDMI cable conversion

[sdfernando]

6. There are quite a lot of converters for HDMI cables.

Depends on what you want to convert to and what your TV supports. You can convert HDMI cable to RCA connectors. RCA is 3 cables, 2 for sound (stereo output, Red & White) and 1 for video (Yellow). You most likely will not get the crispness you are used to and if you have a surround sound system you will lose that too as only two sound channels are available.

You could also convert to component video, which separates the video colors to their base colors (Red, Blue, Green). This can allow a full 1080P signal although it is not officially supported. You will need the two sound channels for stereo and most of the converts will supply those as well...still no surround sound.

Both of these types of converters are sold on Amazon.

The also sell HDMI switches. This simply takes two or more HDMI cables (signals) and ports them to 1 HDMI cable. Switching between the input signals can be automatic or manual. Your choice depends on how you use them.

That's my 2-cents...I could have some of the wrong but I think I'm mostly on target.
