StarTech HD2VID2 — HDMI to composite with audio

A powered HDMI-to-composite example with separate RCA stereo audio; a listed 1080p input is not a 1080p composite output.

Also called HD2VID2

Signal role, documented direction and evidence scope matter independently of connector appearance.

The useful distinction

Identify the named product or series in its documentation; connector shape alone does not identify this reference.

Claim inspection dates: 2026-10-07 · Independent review pending

Cable / adapter note · not an individual product specification

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

A powered HDMI-to-composite example with separate RCA stereo audio; a listed 1080p input is not a 1080p composite output. [C326A]

The HD2VID2 guide identifies a DC/5V power port and use of its universal power adapter independently of the HDMI input. [C326B]

The HD2VID2 resolution table lists 1080p among HDMI input modes, while the composite outputs are listed as 480i NTSC and 576i PAL. [C326C]
