			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>was just on ebay looking for some cheap alternatives to buy HDMI cables&#8230; found some, quality was questionable&#8230; then I stumbled upon some people selling &#8220;HDMI to VGA/RCA&#8221; cables.</p>
<p>I was surprised for a moment. How&#8217;s that possible??</p>
<p>I should state that, it sure is possible to fabricate such a cable. It&#8217;s easy to just take any wire and put any sort of connectors at both ends. But watch out!! They are likely not to work.</p>
<p>The engineer in me knows that HDMI and VGA/RCA connections carry completely different type of signals. HDMI is pure digital and VGA/RCA are pure analog. There&#8217;s no way you can just take a cable, hook up the components and they will work.</p>
<p>For a start, if your equipment doesn&#8217;t get fried, you should already be lucky!</p>
<p>In reality, what you really need is a coverter box. A dedicated piece of equipment that converts HDMI signals to RCA or VGA.</p>
<p>So, be warned, don&#8217;t get suckered by simple cables that appear to do the trick. No such thing!!</p>
