RCA to HDMI Converter

About This Tool

This tool evaluates whether an analog RCA signal can be converted to HDMI using common consumer adapters. It accepts inputs for source format, source resolution, desired HDMI resolution, and optional HDMI version and audio passthrough. Conceptually, it applies domain rules to determine the maximum practical HDMI resolution a given analog signal can support and returns a viability result along with a recommended adapter and concise settings. The output helps users plan AV configurations for home theaters, retro gaming setups, or small studios without trial-and-error hardware testing. The tool emphasizes feasibility over guaranteed performance, since real-world results depend on adapter quality, source content, and cable quality. It can guide users toward more reliable paths, such as using a scaler or a purpose-built bridge when required. Unique value lies in structured guidance that maps signal type to expected HDMI targets and provides concrete adapter suggestions and settings based on standardized inputs. Use cases include evaluating retro consoles, set-top devices, or educational demonstrations where analog inputs must be integrated into modern HDMI displays. Core features include input validation, a simple capability model (composite/s-video max 480p; component up to 1080p), a clear viability decision, and practical output recommendations. The tool is designed for technicians, hobbyists, and installers seeking a fast, data-driven assessment before purchasing adapters or cables.
