HDMI-to-RCA converter for legacy displays

The Boxwave adapter converts an HDMI 1.3 source signal into composite video and stereo audio for older televisions, monitors or projectors that only accept RCA inputs. It accepts input resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p and offers a switch to select NTSC or PAL output format. No driver installation is required, though the unit must be powered via the included USB-C cable.

One-way HDMI 1.3 input with no 4K or 3D support

This converter handles HDMI 1.3 signals up to 1080p only and explicitly does not support 4K resolution or 3D content. It operates strictly from HDMI to RCA; reverse operation from RCA to HDMI is not possible, so it cannot connect legacy game consoles or video players to modern displays.

Suits streamers and legacy console owners needing

Buyers connecting a PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Blu-ray player, Chromecast, Fire Stick or similar streaming box to an older RCA-equipped display will find this adapter suitable. It is not for users who require upscaling to HDMI, 4K passthrough, 3D video support or an RCA-to-HDMI conversion path.

Questions about this item

Will 1080p from my streaming stick actually appear on an old CRT through this adapter?

The adapter accepts 1080i and 1080p input and down-converts it to composite NTSC or PAL so the picture appears on the CRT, though detail is limited by the analog output.

Does the HDMI 1.3 input limit the resolutions I can send from a modern device?

HDMI 1.3 handles 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p; 4K and 3D signals are not supported, so set the source to 1080p or lower.

What do I need to connect besides the HDMI and RCA cables to make it work?

A USB-C power cable must be plugged into a USB power adapter or port; the converter draws power from that connection to operate.
