How to Convert Composite Video to HDMI

How to convert composite video to HDMI. If you want to connect a VCR, gaming console, or older DVD player which use the yellow composite video but need to plug into HDMI we show you how.

Thank you for your video, so well explained. I am getting a new TV and wanting to hook up my older Panasonic DVD combo player. I'll just say that the sales rep at the place where I bought the TV was impatient with any questions on how to do this, am looking forward to setting it up per your video, very helpful.

Can a Sony analog Camcorder work the same way as what you have just demonstrated on the DVD player? I have a Sony Camcorder from the mid 90s and would like to view those old memories through HDMI on my Samsung Screen.

Hi did you try a commercially recorded DVD, interested to see how it would appear with a better resolution recording to start with. I was going to buy a component to HDMI converter but in the composite works ok i'll buy that instead, this is for an Australian PAL system but i can change the source video to NTSC 720P if i use component cables with matching converter.

Is there a different converter for converting video & audio for SVHS equipment (VCR's, laser disc players, cameras)?

Hello I’m hoping that you can help with a question and I’m having with an older Dynex TV it does have a HDMI port area and I’m trying to hook up a Roku device to use it. However the insert area for plugging in the Roku HDMI and it’s not large enough to accept it. So I purchased an HDMI to AV connector which says that it’s used for fire stick or Roku devices. It came with a USB port and a three prong collar coated connectors to go into the component AV area and the colors I have a red white and yellow on the converter but on the television I have it as red white another red which shows as PR and then a Y which says video so I’m using the Y thinking it might mean yellow and it’s also says for video. But I’m only receiving a message saying that there’s no signal. I have the USB plugged into the service port and then into the back of the HDMI to AV converter but I still cannot seem to get a connection to Roku. Can you please advise further. Thank you

Good day I just would like to know. Can I connect it from my VCR video player direct to my laptop and not my tv.

Any idea why my colour is so poor? especially Reds the conversion seems to struggle. Works fine through an old tv

[@tcoradeschi]

Question for you - was the source video 4:3 aspect ratio? If so, did it pass thru in the same format, or was it stretched to 16:9?
Thanks.

I have a receiver that does not have HDMI which I have been using with no problem UNTIL I got a different cable co and the set top box ONLY has HDMI. can I use a converter from the set top box to the receiver? Also, I might mention I am using a set top box, TV, receiver and a DVD player

[@Allabouthomeelectronics]

The short answer, yes you can. The better answer perhaps, ask your TV company to swap your box out with a box having the outputs you need. Often they stock such.

I bought the ACR to hdmi converter and now it says connect antenna or cable and press enter on the Tv, I don’t understand 😭😭😭

[@valbishop322]

Will this work for an older camcorder?

[@sueblack3946]

How do you hook it up with no HDMI on the tv?

[@iTwist24]

Hi! Can I just use my hdmi as video output, like just plugging the yellow? And separate the red and white to an external speakers?

[@marcosramirez1645]

Does that work on my GameCube ?

[@Paradisepuppy1919]

Thank you for showing me how to use it correctly I appreciate that unlike most of the videos that other people post. They don't explain it very good like you do thank you so much it works for me I wash your video step by step you help me so much a great deal I appreciate it all I do is watch DVD I don't like real TV neither do I like the news it's just bad influence and political stuff and Democrats of stuff. And if you made it this far thank you for reading

[@jayaguilar3974]

Thank you sir. I forget power supply for my HDMI converter

[@markedpropensity1633]

Sir: did you try the 1080?
Any better picture?

[@Allabouthomeelectronics]

We forgot to note, that was the 1080

[@MistyKathrine]

That's not a composite though... That's an RCA.
