HDMI to Composite Converter

The StarTech HD2VID2 converts an HDMI source signal into RCA composite video and stereo audio. It allows modern devices to connect to legacy televisions or projectors that only accept yellow, white and red inputs. The active adapter handles the signal translation without requiring software drivers.

Active Adapter with Universal Power

The unit measures 1.00 by 4.10 by 4.10 inches and weighs 7.9 oz. A 19-pin HDMI female input accepts the source while one composite RCA and two audio RCA females provide output. Two mounting brackets and four screws are included for fixed installation. A universal power adapter with NA, EU, UK and ANZ plugs supplies the required power.

1080p Maximum Output Resolution

The converter supports input resolutions up to 1080p and multiple HDTV and PC formats. Output is limited to standard definition composite video at either NTSC or PAL. Buyers needing high-definition component, VGA or digital output should select a different converter type.
