HDMI to
VGA 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 VGA /
SVGA 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 VGA /
SVGA and your display device
is HDMI you will need a VGA to
DVI Converter. Should your
source device be HDMI and the
display VGA / SVGA you will need
instead a DVI to VGA Converter.
For both of these routes you
will also need a VGA cable and a
DVI-D to HDMI Cable. Be
aware, however, that DVI 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

Below you'll find the
hardware and the cables you may
need and some adapters you may
find useful for your
application.
