I have an Sony HDTV with DVI on the back and the red/white audio below...I am trying to connect my new chromecast. Will your converter work?

Hi Michelle,I'm not sure I understand your question but the way this device works is that it takes a DVI and audio signals as inputs and outputs a HDMI signal. The chromecast has to plug into your TV's HDMI input and USB input. If you don't have those inputs on your TV the Chromecast won't work.

The TV needs to input DVI and red/white audio I assume. This item inputs DVI/red/white and outputs HDMI so it is the opposite of what I think you need. Tell me, what are you trying to connect to the TV and what model is the TV?

No. Most older TV's have a standard AV input (red, white and sometimes yellow), so this DVI to HDMI converter will not work. You are looking for an HDMI to AVI connector. Also, look out for converters that are AVI to HDMI... not necessarily the same thing. You are looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Composite-S-Video-Converter-DA-HDRC/dp/B009TC9T7K/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_1

Yes, it will work. Plug the HDMI plug from DirecTV on one side, and the Chromecast into the other. You will need an additional HDMI cable to go from the StarTech to the TV. While this will do exactly what you want, I do suggest you use a Roku cube rather than Chromecast. I've tried both and find the Roku so much better!

I bought a DVI to HDMI converter to run from my laptop to my new 46" sony bravia. worked fine at first but now it will only display a thin strip of the image at the top of the lcd tv screen. I can see the web address bar or anything at the top of the computer screen but the rest of the tv screen is blank. The laptop computer screen is also flickering while this takes place. Have any suggestions? any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks

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

I don't know about chromcast but it must have two sources of input both on(powered up) to work at all. If this is done it seems to work fine with Direct TV or cable.

Yes. Set the player to output at 1080i. As you stated, your tv will dowconvert the signal to its native resolution of 720p.This is the setup I use and it works perfectly.

I have my PC hooked up via HDMI, but have to run a seperate audio cable (stupid dvi outs on my ancient graphics card) and there is no delay. I also have my chromecast hooked directly to the receiver and no issues. I'm very happy with it.

I connect chrome cast to my mixer ATEM. But I must go through a converter first HD 720 P. The ATEM only accepts 720 p. You can connect anything to the ATEM as long as it is 720 P. If not you must purchase an upconverter before plugging into any of the HDMI ports. I purchased an canon HF G 30 which is a 1080 P. The only way it works is going through my converter, downconverts to 720 P then it works. If you have a 1080 P camera you will need the ATEM 4 K before it accepts 1080 P

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 will not work. I purchased this and this item EnjoyGadgets HDMI to VGA & Component YPbPr Video Converter Adapter, Support Audio, S/PDIF, 5 RCA. And the C&E; did not work I returned it but the EnjoyGadgets item will work for what you need. I am using it to connect my directv box to my Tv that no longer has functioning hdmi ports and I am using this item to hook up component cables to my tv and my ps3 has hdmi ports. Hope this helps.

I'm not really sure but it could happens because Chromecast do not powered yours adapter. Try to power it from any available 5-Volt wall mount adapter (even you can use outlet charger from your cell phone) with mini USB cable connector. Check that it set-up NTSC output on converter. Regards.

I am not sure how you intend to use it with Chromecast. Are you intending to split the signal received by the Chromecast dongle? I would assume that it would work fine but I could be wrong. The Sanoxy unit worked well the HDMI output of my receiver to take it to two TV's.

I can't answer your question directly, all I can do is tell you how I used the converter. Basically the converter extracts the audio (only) from a HDMI device. What I built was an awesome Wi-Fi music streamer. Chromecast to Audio Converter to 1.5 FT RCA Cable to SMSL T-Amp and out to a pair of Bose 151 Outdoor Speakers. Here is the parts list except for the speakers. Anyone can now use their smart phone to stream high quality music outside through this device and it works great. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DR0PDNE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMZOUVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003L1717K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2QLGEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My Chromecast has an HDMI connector. There are at least 3 HDMI connectors on the TV. A couple in back, and one on the side. Check the manual. If you do not have one, you can find it on the Internet.

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

I don't believe that will work. I don't have the device anymore but if I remember correctly the HDMI outlet was only for output. Believe this will work better for you:Etekcity® AV CVBS, RCA, Composite Video to HDMI Converter Adapter with Digital Coaxial audio output and 3.5mm audio output supports 720p, 1080p, DVD, Game Console, PS3, Xbox, HD, Blue Ray, PAL, NTSC Analog Stereo
