no, only VGA or component input and only hdmi output to 720p fixed video signal.

I have not yet tried to use this with a DVI/HDMI converter. Sorry I cannot answer your question at this time. I am considering a different layout to our system, I might be trying this in the future, but I don't know how quickly we'll get around to doing it.

It doesn't work with the computer. You put in the A/V cables from the TV to the converter, then hook up the Output A/V cables from your video game/VCR/DVD whatever to the VuPoint. Hit record, and what ever is on screen of the TV is recorded onto a SD card in the converter. You can then take the SD card out of the converter and plug it into your computer and BAM. You have your video. So, it doesn't so much CONVERT anything, just records what's on the TV. I suppose that was more of an answer than you wanted.

This receiver won't cross-convert your HDMI input into the analog outputs; the receiver will only pass analog inputs to the analog outputs on the receiver, likewise with the HDMI input/output stage. Refer to p.100 of the manual for a graphic depicting the stages.

Short answer - no.The converter takes a VGA input and gives you the RCA output. For video cards that output RCA over VGA you don't need a converter - you just need a special cable that has the VGA connector on one end and RCA connectors on the other end.

Hi Matt, unfortunately I have not been able to use the converter because it is not compatible with my system.

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

This only works with a display port output. Typical on MacBooks and some Dell, Lenovo, and He laptops. From my reading their is no converter that works with VGA or Hdmi.

I have a Blue Ray with digital audio output, the video is with HDMI, but I want to connect the audio to an amplifier. It works fine with DVD and Blue Ray disks, but when I want to play a home made CD of music, it distorts with noise. The device will convert your TV output to rca, sure, but I can't tell you if you will hear noise. Is cheap, so you can try.

My boys had me buy this one for their electronics. They have TV, DVD player, xbox and playstation 3 and needed this piece to connect all of them. We don't have a digital converter so I don't know if this one specifically works for what you have. I am sorry I can't answer this question better for you.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

As far as I know this will only covert component(RGB-RCA) to HDMI and not the other way around. If you have HDMI coming out already then I don't see the need for this box unless you were trying to down grade the signal to simple video or something. For that you would need an HDMI to video converter.

I haven't tested this specifically, but I'd be very surprised if it did. This isn't a scan converter/scaler/etc; it's just a HDMI-SDI converter. Dave G, who has answered this question is mistaken; the BMD TVS accepts both 60fps and 59.94fps inputs on the same setting (for instance 1080i60 will accept 1080i59.94 inputs) without any conversion, so the behavior he is experiencing is not evidence that conversion is going on. (I own 3 BMD ATEM 1 M/Es.) If you need that sort of 59.94-&gt;60fps conversion (which you don't need if you are using a Blackmagic switcher, fwiw), I would recommend a BMD UpDownCross mini converter, Grass Valley G1, or Decimator UpDownCross converter. Or any sort of scaler (TV One, Atlona, BMD Teranex, Kramer, etc etc etc). If you also need the HDMI-&gt;SDI conversion Decimator is the way to go; their little MD-Cross box is a miracle. Simultaneous SDI-&gt;HDMI and HDMI-&gt;SDI, with scaling on all inputs. The little guy does everything you'd ever want.

I've heard it can work in reverse, only one way to find out if it works for blueray players

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

No it didn't work for me at all. Looks like it just changes the physical connection but not the actual signal, since real converter boxes run $50+ http://sewelldirect.com/articles/HDMI-Converter.aspx

No, this does not convert HDMI signal to analog component output. you need to buy a converter like KonexPro that is also available with Amazon.com
