An HDMI to AV converter, also known as HDMI to TV Out converter, is a device that converts an HDMI input signal to an analog AV (audio-video) output, which is typically in the form of composite or component video and analog audio.
Compatibility: An HDMI to AV converter allows you to connect HDMI devices, such as modern DVD players, gaming consoles, or media streaming devices, to older TVs or display devices that only have AV inputs.
Legacy Device Support: If you have an older TV or display device that only has AV inputs, the converter enables you to use newer HDMI devices with it.
Analog Signal Output: The HDMI to AV converter provides an analog AV output, which is useful for connecting to devices that only support analog signals.
Audio Extraction: Some HDMI to AV converters also have audio extraction capabilities. This means that in addition to converting the video signal, they can extract the audio from the HDMI input and provide analog audio outputs.
Simple Setup: HDMI to AV converters are typically straightforward to set up. You connect the HDMI source device to the input of the converter and then connect the AV cables (composite or component video and analog audio) to the output of the converter and the corresponding inputs on your TV or display device.
Portable and Compact: HDMI to AV converters are often compact and portable, allowing you to easily carry them and use them in different locations.
