Need a cable to connect HDMI output to component (digital not analog) input of my capture card. Will this cable do the job? L

No I don't think it will. You'll need to convert the signal I believe.Try looking at a converter box. You might start at a company called Blackbox. http://www.blackbox.com/Store/media_converter_selector.aspx

I had no luck. I bought it and got no signal. Even did a continuity test and seems as if there is no connection. Good luck but I think this is a novelty. No actual way to convert technology.

I do not know. What I did was google what I needed to do. DVD Component output to HDTV Component Input.

Short answer: NoLong answer:Because this cable does not actually convert the signal from analog to digital, if you did hook up your box with this cable to the TV the signal received by the TV in the HDMI port it wouldn't understand, and would not display anything. (The output of your box being RCA outputs an analog signal, while HDMI is a digital signal.) Hope this helps.

There are definitely more qualified responders than me, but there is both HDMI and AV "out" so I would say, "probably" you could do as you suggested. You might want to submit your question to Astak and see if they respond? - www.astak.com or e-mail to support@astak.com -

No, it did not work for me. HDMI is diigital and component RCA is analog. They are incompatible. I was trying to connect my PC to a TV that does not have HDMI input. There is a small chance that if your HDMI source is a computer you may be able to change the computer HDMI output to analog but my understanding is that there are few computers that have the capability. My TV does have a DVI input so I bought a HDMI to DVI cable for the video. Then I use a separate cable from the PC headphone output to get the audio. That does work.

The phrasing is kind of confusing but I think what you're trying to say is that you're trying to connect a device with a HDMI output to a screen with a Component input. If that's the case, then no it won't work. This box turns a Component signal into an HDMI signal, not the other way around. If you're doing the opposite, then yes it should work.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

It should work as any other video cable. If you have a display port so you are fine ;)

I have used this cable to go from an hdmi source to a dvi monitor. I am currently using it from a dvi source to an hdmi screen. It basically just has the pin out mapped to work either direction. If you have a dvi connection on one end and an hdmi on the other it should work. In my case it even carries sound!

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

I think just a regular HDMI cable would work for that. I'm not entirely positive though, so check me on that.

No.This cable ONLY works for devices which SPECIFICALLY say they support HDMI-to-Component (or Analog via HDMI), which is a very tiny handful of devices on the market. It does not work for standard HDMI ports. The reason for this is because you are taking a purely digital signal and passing it through a cable to an analog input. One or both of the devices needs to convert the signal from digital to analog. This cable does NOT do it for you. It doesn't matter if you're going from component to HDMI, or HDMI to component, this cable will not work for you unless your device is specifically designed to do the conversion from digital to analog via HDMI.

Your situation is exactly what I had, so yes, this cable will work. Also, if your video card supports audio, it will carry that signal as well to the TV. If your video card does not carry an audio signal, you may need to get a separate speaker system to hear from your computer, because your TV will be on the "HDMI input", but your audio may only fit to the "PC-input" on your computer.

This will not allow you to capture from an HDCP enabled source, if that helps. I use it to capture PC gameplay. I run HDMI out of the GPU to an active HDMI splitter; one HDMI cord then runs to my monitor and a second into the capture card.

No for the research that I have done in these connection it won't work because HDMI is the new age of digital transfer. So because it the new digital transporter you'll need an converter to transfer picture between the two connection. You best bet is to buy an adapter for one of the connection. But I honestly think this cord is fake and would work anyways. Just my thought.

It should do both as long as the two things you are connecting are not both inputs and or both outputs you need one of each no matter the type for example im using this cable to connect my Xbox One via HDMI OUT to my VGA IN monitor I dont see why you would not be able to do it the other way around but you might need to get a VGA to HDMI to do that depending on if you need boy HDMI or girl.... hope that helps if you tell me what you are trying to do I may be able to tell you what kind of cable you will need..

yes that is the case. I used this on an older machine in order to get it compatible with hdmi. It worked on a standard pci (not express) slot.

That depends. If your source device output is licensed for HDMI "recording" (like the XBox), it will work. If you are using a Playstation or a cable box, it will not - you will have to use component video instead. Not the same quality as HDMI, but still pretty good.
