AV signal converter Cabletech KOM0982 — 2× RCA (Cinch) to HDMI, white

Cabletech KOM0982 is an AV signal converter that converts two RCA (Cinch) analog inputs into a single HDMI digital output. Presented in white, this compact adapter allows legacy devices with composite video and stereo RCA audio outputs to be connected to modern HDMI displays, projectors or capture devices. It is intended for simple signal conversion where analog sources must be displayed or recorded by HDMI-only equipment.

Advantages

The converter provides straightforward analog-to-digital conversion of composite video and stereo audio into an HDMI stream without requiring complex setup. Its compact, lightweight housing makes it easy to place near source devices, and the white finish blends with many home AV setups. The device enables digitizing analog content for recording or viewing on current displays and is suitable for plug-and-play use with minimal configuration.

Suitable for

• Connecting VCRs, older camcorders or game consoles with composite and stereo RCA outputs to HDMI TVs or monitors
• Digitizing analog video and audio for capture with HDMI capture cards or recorders
• Integrating legacy AV equipment into HDMI-only home theater or presentation systems

When it may not be suitable

This converter is designed for composite video and stereo RCA audio; it will not accept component video inputs or digital audio formats. It also does not upscale beyond its built-in conversion capability, so users expecting advanced image enhancement or professional-grade processing should consider more advanced converters or scalers. For sources that require deinterlacing, color correction or format conversions beyond standard composite-to-HDMI mapping, a device with explicit support for those features is recommended.

Key specifications

• Input: 2× RCA (composite video + stereo audio)
• Output: HDMI (single digital output)
• Color: white
• Power: external power supply required (check included accessories)
• Use case: analog-to-digital signal conversion for display or capture

How to use

Connect the composite video cable (yellow RCA) and the stereo audio cables (white and red RCA) from the source device into the corresponding inputs on the converter. Attach an HDMI cable from the converter's HDMI output to the HDMI input on the display, projector or capture device. Plug in the required external power supply and switch on both source and target devices. Select the HDMI input on the display; the converter will present the analog signal as an HDMI video/audio stream. Adjust playback settings on the source device if necessary to obtain the correct output format.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your source device provides composite (yellow) video and stereo (red/white) audio outputs.
• Check that your display or capture device accepts HDMI input and is compatible with the converter's output resolution and format.
• Confirm whether an external power adapter is included or must be purchased separately.
• Consider whether you need deinterlacing, upscaling or advanced image processing — this converter provides basic conversion only.

Usage recommendations

For best results use good-quality RCA cables to minimize signal degradation, connect all cables securely before powering the units, and verify the display’s input selection. When digitizing old tapes or recordings, test a short sample first to confirm audio/video sync and correct color reproduction.
