Can I get standard definition input from an HDMI output?

It’s possible but you’ll need a signal converter to change the digital signal from the HDMI in to the analog signal for RCA.

@Lightlyseared is correct. Some more detail.

HDMI is (duh) a digital means of communication.

RCA plugs are analog.

You can get digital-to-analog converters, but quality is iffy.

You just need a media Converter

It is easier to dump the videos to a thumb drive and play them on a set top box like a roku 3

@ARE_you_kidding_me roku3 only has a HDMI out (as far as I know) so its not really solving the problem as @Seek ‘s TV only has composite in

You’d need a doodah like this1DG-0009–000A0-Product

the link looks weird but it does work, at least for me

Sounds like it would be easier to just get a new TV. Where’s that lottery check?

If you’re still using a crt then it’s probably time for a new tv. On the bright side Black Fridays just round the corner

Surely there are cheap set top boxes that will do analog. Roku 3 is hdmi only. I should have known that since I have one

@Seek Do you have a Radio Shack nearby, here is a converter??
