HDMI to composite and or S-video adapter recommendations
I've had HDMI wiring for my HD CRT Sony for a while now, and I'm beginning to think having a converter to drive my older (1940's-70's) standard definition sets from that system would be a good thing.
I'd like to get a unit that can accept HDMI input resolution up to and including 1080i. That puts out NTSC on composite and preferably S-VIDEO too. When given 16:9 input I'd like to be able to choose between sides cropped and letterbox, but being stuck with either is okay as long as there's no stretching or squishing of the image.... what out there is good?

Looking forward to any successful responses, as I went through at least 3 as I recall HDMI to composite or S video output converters from Amazon sources. Wanted to use the HDMI outputs on a DVR to my Sony KV27V10. The DVR does have composite video out and that works fine but has some limited functions available from the HDMI output. Anyway the Sony TV could not make color with any of those converters composite or S. Might see a little color banding then it would go to B&W. After trying several, I gave up.

There are many adaptors/converters out there, the more options the more $. Just Google. They range from $15 to several hundred depending on what you want and complexity.

I think the request was for anyone to share any real-world, hands-on experience that they have with specific products. That would be the most helpful information, which you don't always get from browsing online. |

I think this unit was included with some kind of cable converter, that didn't have anything but a HDMI out. The unit was never used and didn't include any cables or instructions or brand name. Just the small box and AC adaptor. |

I have an HDMI2AV cheapie I bought on ebay. It does only composite. The aspect ratio is not adjustable, nor is zoom, etc. It must be done at the source. It works well enough, it's Definitly capable of better resolution than any of my vintage TVs.
