An HDMI to AAn HDMI to AV converter is a device that allows you to convert a digital HDMI signal to an analog AV (composite) signal. This can be useful if you need to connect modern devices with HDMI output (like a laptop, game console, or streaming box) to older TVs or projectors that only have analog AV (composite) inputs (the red, white, and yellow RCA connectors).

Key Features of HDMI to AV Converters:

1. Input: HDMI (Digital Signal)
2. Output: RCA (Composite - Red, White, Yellow)
   • Red: Right audio channel
   • White: Left audio channel
   • Yellow: Video signal
3. Resolution Support: Most converters support resolutions like 720p or 1080p input, converting them to standard-definition output (usually 480i or 576i).
4. Power Source: These converters often require a 5V USB power supply, which can come from a USB port or a dedicated adapter.
5. Plug-and-play: No special drivers are required; the converter works as a simple, direct signal conversion.

How to Use:

1. Connect HDMI Source: Plug your HDMI cable from the source device (laptop, game console, etc.) into the converter's HDMI input port.
2. Connect AV Cables: Use the red, white, and yellow RCA cables to connect to your TV or other display device.
3. Power the Converter: Plug in the USB power cable to power the converter. This can be connected to a USB charger or any available USB port on your TV or other devices.
4. Set TV to AV Input: Switch your TV or monitor to the correct input channel (usually labeled "AV" or "Composite").
