You've got a DVD player, an old set-top box, or a game console with those three coloured RCA cables and a stereo pair, and your modern TV only has HDMI. Stop hunting for adapters that half-work.
The Simplecom CM505V2 plugs straight into your component output, converts the YPbPr video and R/L stereo audio to a clean digital HDMI signal, and you're watching in Full HD 1080p. No drivers, no software. USB-powered from a wall adapter or any spare USB port on the TV or PC.
It's one-way only – component in, HDMI out – and it converts the format, not the resolution. Your display still needs to support the source signal (480i through 1080p, 50/60Hz).
Comes with the converter, an HDMI lead, a USB power cable, and a USB wall adapter. Plug in, power up, done
