HDMI Digital to VGA Analog Connection.

[deba]

Dear All,

How do I connect Blu Ray Players HDMI Output to a DLP Projector having VGA 15 Pin Input Connection only ?

Are there any cables with D/A Convertor available in the market which can convert HDMI Digital Signal to VGA Analog Signal?

Any reference would be valued.

Thanks.

Doesn't the blu-ray player have a RCA video output (yellow)? Your projector might have that input in which case you would just need a simple RCA cable to connect the blu-ray player to the projector. You will anyway, not get HD video with the VGA input on the projector. So there's no need to use the HDMI output from the blu-ray player.

You didn't mention the projector inputs so these are all the generic options
Bluray player(Composite OUT)--->(Composite IN)Projector
or
Bluray player(Component OUT)--->(Component IN)Projector

That's the only way without investing in additional components.
Any HDMI to VGA cable won't work.

With additional components you can connect
Bluray player(Component OUT)--->Transcoder--->(VGA IN)Projector
or
Bluray player(Composite OUT)--->Converter--->(VGA IN)Projector

No, the reverse won't work too.

It's basically a matter of different color spaces in this case. Color space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generally, VGA uses RGB whereas component uses YPbPr.
So if its a passive cable, it won't convert between color spaces (both ways of signal transmission). What you will need is a transcoder in between that will convert from one color space to other. You may be able to receive picture but the colors will all be screwed up.

Similarly is the case with pure digital to analog and vice-versa passive converters and cables. Example is a HDMI to component/composite/VGA and vice-versa cables. A passive cable cannot convert digital signals to analog and vice-versa.

People manufacture such fake cables and sell them to unsuspecting consumers. You will find them all over the internet.

Reviving an old thread.

I need to connect HDMI (at source/AVR) to VGA (at display).

Anyone has positive experience in using product similar to the one here
