Your response "No, this device converts component video output to HDMI." IF that is true - how then can you describe this as HDMI to Component?

This device takes the component output of your device, e.g. VCR, and converts it to HDMI for connection to your television. I am very impressed with it. It works just fine and was exceptionally easy to connect.

It converts the component input to an hdmi output. It does not convert the other way.

It's not an HDMI to component converter. If it were, then you would turn an HDMI signal into a Component signal so that you could plug an HDMI only output device into a Component input on your TV. This particular box does the opposite. It will allow you to plug in a Component only output device (such as a Wii Console with the official component cable) into a screen that only has HDMI ports open, such as a monitor. And trust me, if we are looking at the same model, the latter is the case. I own one, I have for around 6 months now and this one definitely only goes one way: Component to HDMI.

yes, if it has a component input it will convert any HDMI signal to component. The device does not matter, it is the format that matters as long as your projector TV is high definition (720I,P or 1080I,P, whether TV or projector. I use it for my Sharp high definition big screen projector.

This device physically only has an HDMI output for video- However, you can purchase an HDMI to (VGA, component, RCA, etc.) converters for typically under $10 on Amazon also.

Hi Lawrence,This cable has 5 component connections on each end. It cannot connect to a device via HDMI. In order to connect a device with component outputs to a TV with HDMI inputs or vice versa, you would need a converter box. There are cables on the market that claim to connect HDMI to component but they are not reviewed well. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222support@mediabridgeproducts.com

From what it looks like, you are correct in thinking that you will have to select the mode, then the input. The HDMI 1 and 2 ports share a mode with ports 1 and 2 of the component ports. So if you went to Video 1, i would hazard a guess that it defaults to HDMI, and to switch it to component you would have to change it to component. This to me seems like an extra unnecessary step.If anyone has this receiver and cares to prove me wrong, please let me know, because if it doesn't take the extra step, I might actually want to purchase this.

I think you want to go the other way. This item converts component signals to HDMI. You want to go from HDMI to RGB (which by the way is not the same as Component).

No. Its meant to go from vga to hdmi. It takes the signal from anolog to digital. There are converters out there for what you want to do.

This converts a VGA (15-pin) signal to HDMI, not the other way around. So, no - I don't think this is what you want.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

Am not sure as it takes component video to hdmi cable. i believe you would have to get the pvr2 which is hdmi to hdmi hope that helps

I am not sure what the question is but a HDMI signal is digital and component is analog so the two are not compatible.

No. This converts component video and S/PDIF Toslink to HDMI. If you have HDMI coming out of your computer, you don't need this to hook up to a TV. HDMI carries audio and video. But your computer must be HDCP-compatible.

You answered your own question actually; it is only able to use an HDMI cable. AV/Component output is not supported for that model so this product would serve you no purpose.

I guess that depends of your receiver this only transform your rca or component wii connection to hdmi with usually to 1080 but this is not true, bit works for me, because my tv didn't have rca or component only hdmi

If you have a tv with component inputs, you will need a hdmi to component ypbpr converter, this will convert the hdmi signals to a form suitable for use with the component inputs on your tv, this converter is available from amazon, hope this helps.

You must buy a converter. The capability for hdmi is available the the cables are not. Must buy converter.

No. It simply takes in HDMI output and converts it to component video. The source is irrelevant to this device - it simply needs an HDMI input. And it has no tuner to change channels - it is simply a signal converter.
