I have a computer with DVI output and am looking to connect to a monitor with RCA input. Would this work for that?

hi Lawrence,I used mine for a vcr.I wondered if it would work or not and came to the conclusion,if it doesn't, I have a paper weight.

Most likely not; the cable had an extra 4 pins for analog signal (yes, on the DVI end). If your monitor has DVI-I (which I am certain it does) it physically won't even fit. This should be used for a DVI-I output (generally on dedicated graphics cards) to a VGA port.

If you have an empty USB port, then this will work. I hooked up a monitor from my Dell laptop and it works fine.

Yes! Obviously you'll need to dial back the output on the one that goes to the powered monitor. RCA->1/8inch stereo cable should do the trick.

If the monitor has HDMI input. This takes in the RCA video and puts it out as HDMI. Anything that accepts HDMI video input will work.

It would probably only work if you're using a DVI cable variant that has the four pins and therefore sends an analog signal. The video below explains the difference between DVI and VGA and how different pins send analog or digital signals.https://youtu.be/f38sotYHqtA

That should work. The HDMI to DVI conversion isn't particularly finicky in regards to what will and will not work for VIDEO. It shouldn't matter in this application, but DVI doesn't carry Audio like HDMI does, so bear that in mind for any other applications.

Yes you can plug it into a monitor or TV that has a Rca plug for video input.

I do not know about that, it should work, but there is also a DVI-D connection on the back of the monitor as well.

No. What I recommend is a graphics card with svideo/RCA and VGA conection. Have some one install it to your computer if it is a desktop. The graphics card works better,the RCA converter I had had picture problems for it to display a picture.

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.

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.

This adapter is for hooking up a VGA monitor to a computer that has a tv tuner card in it. It will not work to connect rca outs to a VGA.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would think that the signal would not convert to analog. I use it very similarly, from this cable I have one dvi running to an LCD monitor, the other is to a tv via a cable with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. Hope this helps.

No, this adapter is used to connect an old (1980s and before) computer system output for 1 color displays to a modern monitor.Depending on your computer screen type, you need an adaptor for what your cable box outputs (rca or hdmi) to what your computer monitor can take as an input (vga, hdmi, or dvi).

From what I can gather from your question I would say YES. My TV only has HDMI inputs as well and I use one of these to hook up an old VCR to it that has the Yellow/Red/White RCA connectors.

I dont see why not. Im using dvi to vga to rca just fine. I use it for my MAME Arcade Cabinet.
