  • RCA to HDMI Cable Question

    I just bought a 4th monitor for my office pc. It is an HP 2509m. On my desk is a standard TV with a Hughes SD-DVR40 sitting on top of it. What I want to do is get rid of the TV and connect the Hughes SD-DVR40 to the HP 2509m.

    1. Is there a cable available that will allow me to go from the Hughes SD-DVR40 RCA out (Red, White, Yellow) to the HDMI input on my monitor?

    Is the PS3 cable a standard HDMI connection or is it proprietary?

    2. Is there a cable available that will allow me to go from the Hughes SD-DVR40 RCA out (Digital Audio and Yellow [video]) to the HDMI input on my monitor?

    I found this gadget on NewEgg:

    Link -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-027-_-Product Premium HDTV Kit (NewEgg)

    Link -> Premium HDTV Kit (cables unlimited)

    The last two links are to the same item but one has better pictures and one has better information.

    Question: Is using the Digital Audio even worth the bother in this case?

    Question: Can I jost go buy the PS3 cable and connect the RCA cables (Red/White/Yellow) and go straight to my HDMI input?

    Sorry if this is confusing - I tried to include as much information as possible.

    Thank you!

    1 - That's proprietary. That's the way Sony works. So, no go there.

    2 - The only adapter I see in that package is HDMI to DVI, which is pretty standard - we have them too. You just lose audio.

    I really doubt there's any way to go RCA to HDMI. RCA is analog and HDMI is digital and they're really worlds apart. A converter would likely cost a small fortune.
    Been here a long time . . .
