Will this send a good signal out to a video projector or will the signal be bad? Wondering if this would replace the need for a scan converter.

I thought it sends a clear signal -- at least on a regular monitor it looked nice. We did have to flip the small switch on it (as mentioned in the directions) for it to work properly.

It does a great job to the rca inputs on an older tv. I don't see why it would not work for a video projector but have not tried it on that

I used my C&E; HDMI/S-video converter to provide the input connection for two DVD recorders and old VCR through an amplifier and it works very good. I would expect it to provide a very good S-video signal to your television.

Not sure what model projector I have (not at home), but this worked perfectly with mine. Keep in mind that this is converting an analog signal into a digital one, so there will be some minor quality degradation but all in all it works in converting VGA to HDMI (no sound of course).

We are using it to switch the signal between DirecTV box and desktop PC and send it to two large TVs which act as monitors... Image is the same on on both TV-Monitors. It usually works but it is not very stable and signal often drops when sending image from PC so we normally use it only for TV box signal projection.

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!

It depends upon what you want to display via the projector. What is your video/audio out? You that port and get an appropriate adapter. I returned mind because the color was terrible. But I think there were several input ports I was using HDMI. I think it had s video and RCA also, but I'm not sure. Check the specs online to see what input ports it has.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

In theory it should work fine. It is sending the image and sound to the monitor. It should not care what is transmitting the images.

I used it to connect my computer to an LCD monitor and a projector with an hdmi port so I don't see why you would have a problem. The only thing that is annoying is i have to remember to power up the projector first thing in the morning and once it is warmed up i can power it off. I do that because the first time I use the projector the monitor blanks out for a while... this also occurs when the monitors go to sleep.

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.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

Sounds like this is more equipment than you need. If all you are doing is going out from a PC to a projector for a display you might only need a converter piece or just a cable and use the projector as an external display. Can your projector not take an HDMI cable directly? If not can it take a VGA?

This box converts a VGA signal, such as the video monitor output of a computer, to an HDMI output. As far as I know, it is not meant to go in the reverse direction; you would need to ask the Etekcity folks about that. I am presuming you have a projector with a VGA input but not an HDMI input. It would not surprise me if there are HDMI to VGA converters available, but I have not needed one, so I have not looked for any.

Sorry, I am far from an expert on this. I have been seeking the right way to do this since 3M does not support the product well. I searched a lot of options to find a cable set that would allow this unit to work like a regular projector. The cable set listed here will not work on its own but I am now waiting for a new cable that may take the RCA ends on the product you are asking about and turn that into the VGA end that will take video out of the computer and into the 3M projector. Write back in 2 wees if you want to see if I have been successful.

As long as you have an hemisphere connection it should be fine, I haven't used it with mine but it should be the same concept. Hdmi is the same so it should work. It's going from my laptop to a tv monitor and two giant projectors. Make sure you get the hdmi cable with the extra boost for the signal especially if it's more then 10feet away most cables have an in and out side so make sure to look for that too if it doesn't work that's everyone's big mistake

It handles the hdcp handshake for one of those fruity set top hd devices(!). I don't have all hdcp compliant devices through the full path to my projector. So I used this to convert the hdmi over to hd component. It works great!!

Have you tried a different via cable if that is how you are connected? Move the existing cable around, does the color improve/change? Check the pins in the ends of the cable, are any of them bent? If you connect other video sources such as a vcr or DVD player is this also green? Working with projectors for 10 years has taught me If all inputs result in a green or yellow screen you have a failing light engine, if it's just one component you most likely have a bad cable.
