HDMI to M1-A Result: - Incompatible Formats, Try a Converter

Here we have a situation where one device is analog and the other digital.  These two formats are completely imcompatible with one another, although connecting the two is not completely impossible.  You have two options when you run into a situation like this.  You can replace the M1-A (P&D Analog, EVC) device with another that supports a digital format such as HDMI, DVI-D, DVI-I, DFP, or EVC (Preferably HDMI for audio compatibility); or you can use a signal converter.  The latter usually ending up being more expensive and with a lesser quality result.  If you choose to use a conversion box you must select the right one out of a choice of two.  If your source device is M1-A (P&D Analog) and your display device is HDMI you will need a VGA to DVI Converter.  Should your source device be HDMI and the display M1-A you will need instead a DVI to VGA Converter. For both of these routes you will also need a VGA to EVC cable and a DVI-D to HDMI Cable.  Be aware, however, that EVC does not carry the Audio signals that HDMI would between HDMI devices so you will need to find another way to send the audio signals depending on the types of audio interfaces your devices are using.  We will not get into that here.  If you need help with connecting the audio, or the video, please click on the Live Chat on the bottom left of the page.  Below you'll find the hardware and the cables you may need and some adapters you may find useful for your application.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to click the Live Chat link on the bottom left hand side of this page.
