HDMI to 1080p YPbPr converter

This adapter converts an HDMI source into analogue YPbPr video plus stereo RCA audio. It passes the input resolution through without scaling, so the display must match the source resolution exactly. The unit is intended for connecting modern consoles or streaming sticks to older projectors or TVs that only accept component inputs. No external power supply is mentioned in the supplied data.

Build integration and connections

The converter provides five RCA sockets — three for YPbPr video and two for left/right audio — and accepts a standard HDMI plug. A DVI source can be used with a separate DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter, which is not included. Bandwidth is rated at 165 MHz or 1.65 Gbps per channel, totalling 6.75 Gbps across all channels. Supported resolutions include 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080p at 50 or 60 Hz.

Suitable users and limitations

Buyers who need to feed a component-only display from an HDMI device such as a PS5, Xbox, Fire TV stick or Blu-ray player will find this converter fits the requirement. It is not suitable for anyone who requires upscaling, downscaling or frame-rate conversion, because the output resolution must equal the input. Users with only composite (yellow/red/white) RCA inputs on their display cannot use this adapter, and it cannot operate in reverse from component to HDMI.

Questions about this item

What is the highest resolution this converter can pass through to a YPbPr display?

The converter passes through up to 1080p at 50 or 60 Hz; it does not scale the signal, so the source must match the display's native resolution.

How much power does the unit draw when running continuously?

The adapter is powered from the HDMI source and draws very little current; no external power supply is required for normal operation.

Which cables or connectors do I need to connect this to my TV and source?

You need an HDMI cable from the source to the converter and a 5 RCA component cable (YPbPr plus red/white audio) from the converter to the TV; a DVI-to-HDMI cable works for DVI sources.
