HDMI to RCA converter for legacy displays

This Boxwave adapter converts an HDMI source into composite video and stereo RCA audio so modern streaming sticks, consoles or disc players can connect to older televisions, monitors or projectors. A built-in switch selects PAL or NTSC output to match the display region. The unit draws power from an external 5 V USB source which is not included.

Check your source device and power before ordering

The converter does not work with mobile phones, tablets or 3D video sources. Verify that your HDMI source can output a standard definition signal compatible with composite encoding. Ensure a 5 V USB power supply or port is available at the installation point because the adapter will not operate without it.

Suits owners of older TVs needing HDMI input

Ideal for connecting a Fire Stick, Chromecast, games console or DVD player to a legacy display that only accepts RCA composite inputs. Not suitable for users wanting to connect phones or tablets, anyone requiring 3D video pass-through, or setups where no USB power outlet is accessible.
