HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for AppleTV

This HDMI to 3RCA Composite converter works beautifully for old school televisions. I bought it for my sister to see if she would be able to watch her MLB.TV Internet subscription on her television that is about 20 years old by connecting it to a 3rd generation Apple TV. It was both easy and intuitive to connect to the Apple TV and her television. Once it was connected, we were up and running with a picture that is as good as what comes in through her normal cable subscription to this particular television. There is no degradation of the signal at all - it looks as if she is watching her normal cable TV. The converter box is tiny so it is easy to tuck away out of sight also. I appreciate the fact that it came with all the cables too - so many of these types of devices do not provide the HDMI cable. She is extremely happy with the results and the ease with which we were able to get everything set up. We highly recommend this device if you have an old school, non-HDMI television that you would like to connect to an Apple TV.

This Bleiden HDMI converter was the THIRD I had to order. Tried two others from other brands but both had dull picture output. All of the converters look alike so perhaps it could be the same Chinese manufacturer making these with other companies just adding their logos. In any case, because I had another HDMI converter for another device, I could see that the color and intensity of that unit was way BETTER than the two units I tried from Digision and Semlos. This Bleiden package was a little more expensive since it includes additional accessories, however, the most important thing for me was the quality of the picture output, which is great with this unit. The colors are bright and sharp and the unit has been performing well for the few days I've had it. Like others have said in various reviews, you don't really need to connect it to a power source. It does not seem to make any difference, however, this unit also has a power cord and a plug. Overall very pleased with this converter after trying two others. Got third time lucky!

This worked really well, perfect picture, for about 12 hours before it failed. The add makes it look like it is different than all the other HDMI to RCA converters that are undoubtedly Chinese imports (all of which have approximately 25 per cent one star reviews). This one is different in that it has a power supply and comes with an HDMI cable in a nice box but it failed in less than a day, which was the exact same experience I had with another similar items on Amazon. The application was converting an HDMI output of a security camera DVR to a LCD monitor/TV with an RCA video input. It worked very well, but not for long.

The converter was easy to install and works great. I connected it to our first high definition TV, a Hitachi Ultravision Projection 65". We use it mostly for ESPN3 and BTN+ to watch college sports. My daughter looks at animal clips on YouTube and outputs them to the big screen from her I-pad Pro. Not High Definition output but looks pretty darn good anyway. Thanks Bleiden.

I have a very old tv that had no HDMI connections and I had no box from our tv provider. This was a perfect solution for me. I have an Apple TV and was so excited that I found product. I am not a very tech person but your instructions were very easy and you also have a video on how to install. My tv works perfectly. Shipping was extremely fast.

As I write this, it is successfully converting a fourth generation Apple TV from HDMI output to composite RCA audio and video input for my CRT television. I'm very satisfied with this product from Bleiden, yet I want to point out some important consequences of using a converter like this. My goal was to get Netflix on a normal, non-widescreen tele. When watching a show that is intended for widescreen, it is stretched vertically. The difference in aspect ratio is significant. I was able to get used to it, though. It is not a showstopper for me. Also, not all resolution and/or refresh rate configurations work. Some will fail to enable, others will result in the infamous colored bars. It is important to be very careful when changing these. Most devices will revert to the previous settings after a short pause...if you do not click OK...so, don't click OK. Finally, whether you use NTSC or PAL, those are much lower resolution than 1080p HD or even 720p HD. Therefore some things will be very difficult to see, for example Netflix has icons for different shows, and the titles in them are difficult to see with so few pixels. However, the images are still recognizable, and that is good enough for me. I understand that some people may think I'm crazy when inexpensive widescreen HD TVs are available. Despite that, I like what I have, and I'm glad Bleiden provides a converter that really is compatible with all Apple TV models and the old red, white, and yellow input to my TV.

Worked OK, not very good picture quality. After a few months it quit working.

Used for several months now, and it still works good. It seems to crop the top and bottom of the screen a little, but you would never notice unless you're looking for it.

This works flawlessly.
