TV Q?: COMPONENT TO HDMI converter

[77thor]

Can anybody recommend a good "COMPONENT TO HDMI converter"?

I'm trying to connect an old VCR to a newer 4K UHDTV and the TV doesn't have a component input(AV IN) or S-video, so I need to convert to HDMI.

(the wife has too many VHS tapes)

Thanks.

Do you mean component, or composite? I'm not aware of any VCRs that had component video output.

Yeah he must be referring to composite(yellow RCA jack).

Component is 3 rca jacks- red, green, blue.

Since you are converting from an analog signal to a digital signal, no cable alone will do it. You need a convertor like the one above to adapt the different signals. Went through this myself when I added multiple monitors for my security camera system and my whole house A/V system.

Instead of trying to convert the signal, maybe consider paying a service to convert your VHS to DVD or buy a VHS to DVD burner.

Those DVD's will take up a lot less space.....and you don't have to rewind a DVD

I bought one and it still in the shipping bag
ended up buying a newer receiver with digital.
$10 plus postage and its yours

As others have said - going analogue to digital requires a powered adapter.

So your TV only has HDMI inputs? VHS is really low resolution (480i) and adapting to regular video/RCA won't reduce the picture quality as a result.
