The adaptors are designed to convert AV and RCA signals into 1080p HD-quality signals. When connecting your two devices, you should ensure that both devices support the same version of HDMI. Some adapters come with HDMI switch-push buttons, which allows you to choose an output of either 1080p or 720p. In addition, HDMI adaptors are compatible with the following:

  • NTSC 3.58 and NTSC 4.43 TV formats.

Since all versions of HDMI are designed to be backwards compatible, you shouldn't have any compatibility issues when using them with gaming consoles that feature differing HDMI requirements.

Can AV to HDMI adapters be used with all HDMI cables?

An AV to HDMI adapter is compatible with all high-speed HDMI cables. Adapters can automatically detect and convert AV composite signals into a 60-Hz output in order to produce HD images.
