I remembered to push one of the button to adjust output format. You might want to try that to make sure the output format matches your monitor.

It just converts HDMI signal to component, the only thing you can change is the format.

I hooked the PETHRV HDMI direct from my set top box HDMI connention to the Portta PETHRV HDMI and then hooked the component (G/B/R) plugs to the Hauppage HD PVR and recorded programs to my computer without any problem. Hope this helps. I use Arc Soft TotalMedia program to record to my computer.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

It didn't work to connect my hdmi pc to my vga monitor. I had to buy HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD. Also, it wouldn't work from my old vga pc to a hdmi tv.

If you Canon is capable of sending digital HD output through HD-SDI connection; and your monitor/recorder accept hdmi input then this is for you. As far as yes or no, there's not enough information provided to be absolute.

I could not get it to capture 1080i, let alone play back. Don't buy this product. I returned mine.

The device has an hdmi output. I would think it is not copy protected, but not sure about that. If not, I don't see why you couldn't record to hard disk if you have a video card with software that supports recording over hdmi.

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.

Hi MM, apparently recording and playing using the projector feature of this Sony HDR-PJ790V is not supported. Once the projector of the camcorder is turned on, recording is stop and cannot be operated. -Ely

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

Won't work. Turns hdmi output to VGA. Unless cpu has hdmi output and tv has VGA input.

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile and have been unsuccessful. I bought the $40 VGA cable and hooked it up to the TV with a seperate audio cable (headphone jacks) and put the external monitor setting on the PC and I still cannot change the source to PC on the TV. It claims that the source options will only become available when those inputs are hooked up to something......well I am definetely hooked up to my computer and the TV is not taking a signal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.
