HDMI-to-RCA converter for legacy displays
The BENFEI 000245black-N converts an HDMI source into CVBS composite output at 480i or 576i so it can be shown on older CRT televisions or monitors. It accepts input resolutions from 480i up to 1080p and works with streaming sticks, consoles, PCs and Blu-ray players. The conversion is one-way only and cannot pass a signal from RCA back to HDMI.
NTSC/PAL selector and USB power cable
A physical switch on the unit toggles between NTSC and PAL output formats, correcting the black-and-white picture that appears when the wrong standard is chosen. The package includes a USB power cable; a 5 V, 1 A adapter must be connected before the HDMI source is attached. No driver installation is required on any supported device.
Handles 1080p input, outputs standard-definition
The adapter comfortably processes 1080p HDMI signals and down-converts them to composite video for legacy screens. It runs out of headroom with mobile phones, tablets or iPads, which are explicitly not supported. Buyers who need upscaling to HDMI or pass-through of higher resolutions will not be served by this one-way converter.

Questions about this item
Will the USB power cable or the NTSC/PAL selector switch need replacing after a year of daily use?
The converter has no moving parts other than the slide switch; the USB cable is a standard 5 V lead that can be swapped with any spare micro-USB cable if it frays.
What output resolution limit appears first when the converter runs continuously from a 1080p source?
The device down-scales every input to 480i or 576i composite, so the 480i/576i ceiling is the hard limit regardless of how long it runs.
How warm does the 000245black-N get and does it draw more than 5 V 1 A after hours of streaming?
It is powered from a 5 V 1 A USB supply and stays cool to the touch; the adapter only passes the 5 W the supply provides, with no fan or heatsink needed.
