Conecting iapple tv to non hdmi tv

Does anybody out there know if there is there a HDMI to component converter out there that will enable me connect my apple tv 3 gen to a non HDMI TV with a RCA coponent video inputs?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

  • Video out from MBA to non-HDMI television?

    Hello, I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but . . . Is there anyway to get video that is streamed over Wifi to my MBA 13" late 2011 to connect to my circa 2003 Hitachi plasma TV without HDMI?
    The TV is cabable of showing 780 HD video (I have an HD cable box), but right now I use component video cables from my cable box. Options would be some sort of Thunderbolt to component cable converter (if this even exists) or some way to connected a non-Wifi enabled TV to the Web. The TV has componet and composite inputs
    Someone told me that the Wii will output to composite. True?

    Hi there.
    Glad you are enjoying the wide variety of apps available on the App Store.
    To connect your non-HDMI compatible television to your iPad, you may try using a component cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC917ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE) or a composite cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE).
    While the VGA adapter will work if your television supports VGA, I am not certain of (and would not recommend) using an adapter.
    Hope this helps, and good luck getting your problem solved. Let us know if you need any additional help.

  • Using ATV2/3 with non-HDMI Receiver and theater projector and also need iTunes downloaded movies to work.   I'm thinking to use the Toslink digital out for surround sound and an HDMI to RGB converter for video but not sure the iTunes DRM will prevent?

    I have a theater with a Runco projector but non HDMI. alas, my receiver is non HDMI. Changing electronics and projector is a non-starter.
    I would like to be able to buy HD movies on iTunes and watch them by streaming via Apple TV3. My plan is to capture surround sound from the TosLink digital out, which my preamp/receiver can handle. For the video, I need to convert the HDMI to RGB component to feed my receiver.
    This is where iTunes DRM and HDCP issues might arise. I am under the impression that I need an non-HDMI compliant converter so that ATV3 can even talk to my receiver. It is my understanding that this is possible and takes care of the HDCP issue. But what about the DRM issue? All I want to do is buy and watch HD movies, no bad intentions. I find it incredible that iit might not be possible.
    Anyways, is there a 100% certain approach even if it costs up to $300-400. Again, changing hardware is a non-starter so please avoid the obvious "buy an HDMI amp and projector".
    Thanks

  • Connecting ipad2 to non-HDMI television

    To be very specific, HBO go is fantastic.  But I want to watch on my old toshiba big butt TV.  Because HBO go is much better than just having HBO on Directv.
    Is there any way to connect?  I was thinking I could use the VGA adapter and then find a way to adapt from VGA to component.  But I have a feeling that won't be so great.
    Does a HD->SD conversion need to take place?
    Anyone?

  • Apple TV 2 to Non-HDMI TV

    Is there any type of conversion method I can use to connect my Apple TV 2 to a Non-HDMI TV. The Apple TV only had the HDMI port and I am looking to connect my non-HDMI tv to Netflix. I bought a VGA to HDMI cable on ebay, but it doesnt seem to be working. Thank you very much to anyone that can help.

    Well that blows!!! All I want to do us watch Netflix and the occasional iTunes rental on a tv that doesn't have hdmi inputs. It supports 720p. Is it a conspiracy to get people to "upgrade" to a tv that has hdmi inputs? I don't want circumvent copyright protection, I just want to be able to use this tv for something other than just watching dvd's and satellite programing, without having to buy a new tv.
    The "almighty" must have calculated that to make more money means selling more product, and that would mean accommodating those that might not have "hdmi" inputs. I have the ability to buy many more atv2's, but why? If it means I would have to "break the law" in order to use them as they were intended?
    If you were using them "as intended" your TV would have a compliant HDMI input and this thread would not exist.
    There are many choices in TV streaming devices, many of those choices have connectors other than HDMI, choose one of them instead or get a new TV.
    As Apple appear to be in the minority in only providing HDMI it's not much of a "conspiracy" is it now.

  • Apple TV on non HDMI TV, Apple TV on non HDMI TV

    Can I operate an Apple TV device with a non HDMI TV (has Composite, VGA, Scart).
    Do I need an adapter (cable) or a converter?

    I found a solution on a help-site called Macmanus.nl, it's an even more elegant solution that a regular converter :
    - a cable with an integrated DAC-converter
    - HDCP-compliant
    - tested to work for Apple TV 3

  • I can not conect to my TV using HDMI ports.

    ?i can not conect my touchsmart 600 to my TV using HDMI ports. Do anyone knows how to fix the problem?

    HP TouchSmart 600 refers to over 200 different computer models.
    When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.

    Most HP TouchSmart computers do not have HDMI inputs or outputs. Typically, the few that have an HDMI port have an HDMI input for video player or game console input. You may need to purchse and use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 (or any of the many other adapters on the market) to connect an external display to your computer. I personally use and recommend the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39.

  • APPLE TV 2 - Can I connect to non-HDMI TV via HDMI-capable AV reciever?

    I have an older Sony Trinitron TV that is not HDMI-capable. I have all of my video components (DirecTV, Blu-Ray, Wii) connected to it via component cable from a DENON AVR-2307C1 receiver. I connected my new Apple TV 2 to the receiver via the HDMI cable and set up the receiver input properly. I can hear the Apple TV (I'm getting the Welcome voice message) but only get a black screen. Is there any way to make this work? Could it be as simple as a bad HDMI cable? Or should I return the Apple TV?
    Thanks,
    Ian

    SOLVED....I had the same issue when I bought my son an apple tv and discovered he has an older tv without hdmi, but WAS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE!  You need to buy an HDMI to RCA converter. I got the HDMI to 5 RCA because he has the 5 red, green, blue video w/ red & white audio inputs, if you only have three inputs,  red,white and yellow you can get the HDMI to RCA 3 converter. I got the converter on Amazon for around $35.00. It works like a charm!  This is the one I purchased.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B002WBOQPU/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=132 4389131&sr=8-1&condition=new  Hope this helps as both my son and I are extremely happy that he can use the Apple tv with his older TV.

  • Connecting non HDMI TV

    I have a SD TV that has no HDMI ports but is happily connected to my HD digital receiver/blu-ray (which does have a HDMI port) via standard AV cables. Can I connect my Apple TV thru the HD receiver using a HDMI cable and then watch on my SD TV?  I understand that quality will not be HD but i am ok with that until the TV dies!  Thanks

    Your receiver shoud be capable of receiving HDMI in and then displaying in another format if necessary.
    Have a go and it should work. You can't break it

    Hello marie196,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:

  • AppleTV on non-HDMI TV

    I have an older model HDTV without HDMI inputs; is there any adapter that will convert HDMI to component such that I can use an Apple TV on this televsion?
    Not concerned about a loss of quality, just something that will pass both audio and video.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are hardware converters for HDMI, but if you want to play protected content such a converter would need to be HDCP compliant and if your TV is not a widescreen TV, the converter would also need to scale the video. I'm not aware of any converters that do both and discussing methods of circumventing copy protection (HDCP) or providing links to such devices are not permitted under the terms of use of this community.

  • My ipad doesn´t conect to tv with HDMI only sound.

    I try to conect my IPAD wiht a HDMI adaptor to my TV, start a video but only sound working.

    It should work for both generations.  It won't mirror with the iPad1, but it should play videos.  My iPad1 DID play videos - for a week or two.  Then it quit working with the HDMI adapter.  Still behaves as before with the Component adapter.  Nothing wrong with the cables, tv, etc.  Aftyer ruling out all else, I exchanged the Apple HDMI adaprter for a new one - same thing.  My iPad1 now has no idea there is an external tv/display connected when using the HDMI adapter.  I suspect my mistake was in updating the iPad to the newest iOS software release.  I'll bet this is what broke it.  The question is:  Will this bug be fixed, or is this new non-compliance going to be considered by Apple to be a  'feature'?

  • How to connect Apple TV without HDMI input, what are my options?

    I don't have HDMI input on my TV, but I have RCA, RGB, S-Video, Audio input, and a few others. What options exist to make the Apple TV work and still get HD quality (aside from getting a new TV)?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)

    DAC
    Most types of HDMI to non HDMI connectors or converters won’t carry audio, in such cases you may also need to convert your optical output to an analogue signal using a DAC.
