I have a Sharp PNL702B Aquos White Board. Cox Cable's box is incompatible via HDMI. Will I be able to do 1080i/p using component out &amp; this converter?

Useless crap. Don't buy it. Unfortunately, I still have not been able to solve my similar desires to convert HDMI to RGB and certainly not at a reasonable price. I bought it. Exchanged it for the same and that didn't work, either.

Connected it to an Equiso Android TV Stick, today, and was able to get a decent image at 720i resolution on my 65" Toshiba rear projection TV. Have not succeeded with any devices to output 1080i, so far.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=equiso

Sorry but no, this is a switcher, not a converter. Search on "HDMI to "Your TV's Connector (like coax, component)" converter"

This converter box only allows RCA jacks on the input to go to HDMI output.You probably want some sort of VGA to HDMI converter.Search Amazon for this one QVS HVGA-AS VGA Video/Stereo Audio to HDMI Digital ConverterIt does sound and video.Just video converters are less expensive.Good luck!

Hello, the video source must be on 1080i the avue can handled that resolution, even the 1080p, I use this and other converter from hdmi to sdi at my Tv Channel and both of them are working great. I hope this answer can help you!

I have one and it only seems to output 16:9. I would like to change it to 4:3, but I don't see a way to control it. There are 2 buttons. One labeled "switch" that selects from the 3 available inputs (s-video, composite, hdmi) and another labeled "720/1080p" to select the output resolution.I don't see any communications port; so, I don't think the firmware can be altered, either... meh

The newer STR-DH510 does not upconvert non-HDMI or non-HD signals, so I assume this one does not either. The STR-DH720 does upconvert to 1080i, and I assume more expensive models do as well. Hope it helps (you and others)

Yes this unit will accept a 1080p signal and then scale it down to the 720p native.

I have been trying to make the same conversion and this cable is not the solution. Best buy is supposed to have a conversion box but our local store could not get it. Good luck

Don't think you can relie on this type of converter to consistently convert HDMI to other interfaces. My experience was that it worked for a while and then didn't. Generally, HDMI is designed to prevent digital signals from being converted to analog signals. Think that the interface is always being updated to prevent such. My educated guess is that any device that is receiving software updates will eventually get a mod that defeats this device.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

No. This is going from RGB/SpDIF/Coax input to HDMI output. I think you'd need to be going in the other direction. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/E-More-Component-Converter-Supporting-Coaxial/dp/B00T2MLNBM or http://www.amazon.com/BestFire-Component-Converter-Supporting-Coaxial/dp/B00N9UEVNK

The bp 200 is HDMI only, so you will need some kind of converter box to get composite AV/RCA out (Amazon sells some in the $40 range, but I have not tried them). Skip the cable only devices that you will find when searching. A new TV or different Bluray player might be money better spent.

Yes, This is assuming there isn't any HDCP on the cable box, it handles the following resolutions@Refresh/FPS -1080p @ 23.98 -1080p @ 24 -1080p @ 25 -1080p @ 29.97 (Normal) -1080p @ 30 (Not as common) -1080i @ 50 -1080i @ 59.97 (Commonly used by 60Hz) -1080i @ 60 (uncommon) -720p @ 50 -720p @ 59.94 (Common) -720p @ 60 This is along with -NTSC / NTSC 23.98 & NTSC Progressive (Older Composites) -PAL / PAL Progressive (older) It is able to upscale & Anamorphic SD to HD as well. To also answer your question, it's output can be upscaled from 720p to 1080i, and Input can be upscaled SD (Anamorphic/Letterbox) to 1080i & Downscaled 720p & 1080i to SD (Anamorphic/Letterbox) 16:9. Side Note, you will need the included SW (Blackmagic Media Express) or another SW(Like Open Broadcaster) that is able to receive the input signal to activate the pass through, actively running. -Meaning The SW will have to be running, and viewing the stream to allow the 'Preview' TV/Monitor to show the display. Please Contact Me if you would like to know more about setting it up, as there is no smart switching enabled & can be finicky. Though it is Well worth it entirely. Be sure to know that there is a minimal MB performance requirement. X58 MB confirmed (Running on a Sabertooth X58 MB w/ i7-960)

PT, I wanted to convert a new HDMI Blu-Ray Player down to an old Component (YPbPr) television; this device would not do it. This unit converts old Component (YPbPr) video (or old computer VGA video) up to a new HDMI (or Coax) television or monitor. There is no Coax input (see closeups of the product) so I don't think this is a good product to go from Coax up to HDMI. The ramp up should be from Component to HDMI.

If the converter box is using component out, no, this will not work. You would need a small box that converts component to VGA like http://amzn.com/B009GUQYBO or http://amzn.com/B0014BL9PO.

This product is a cruel joke and a ripoff. You need a converter box to change an HDMI output to an analog signal, in order to have EITHER 1stGen HD red/green/blue (aka "YPbPr") OR non-HD red/white/yellow RCA connectors as inputs on the other end. It's not just a matter of having the right connectors on the ends of the cable. So there are basically three solutions to your specific problem, Letitia: 1) Get an HDMI-to-RCA (red/white/yellow) converter box for around $50-80. Make sure the product description says "digital-to-analog converter," otherwise you will likely get another ripoff item. (I found a KanexPro HDMI box for $60 that should work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820045&cm_re=hdmi_to_rca_converter-_-15-820-045-_-Product) 2) Put that money toward an HD TV (with HDMI inputs). Really, the purpose of the BluRay system is an HD-quality viewing experience. 3) Get a regular DVD player with RCA outputs. If you mostly rent videos and don't have a large collection of BluRay discs, and don't care all that much about HD, that's probably what I would do.
