How to link tablet with hdmi connector to older crt tv

[anubis]

Need to do the above, TV has the 3 connectors on the front for video/audio and a scart connection on the back.

What would be the best method to do this?

Thanks

Use something like this :- www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-HDMI-to-SCART-Video-Audio-Converter-Scaler-Smartphone-CRT-TV-DVD-SKY-Box-/361464447505?hash=item5428f5c211:g:b1wAAOSwT5tWJhb4

I've not done this before, but I think there's some scaling involved and the adapters are powered as they have conversion circuitry in them.

You may also need to get a suitable HDMI cable, I assume the tablet is a mini or micro HDMI and the input on the coverter boxes looks to be a standard size HDMI.

when using a bargain basement hdmi to vga agaptor

like www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Laptop-Power-Free-Raspberry-support-black/dp/B0088K7QUQ

you may need to unplug to turn on devices as the hdmi/vga interface may not 'handshake' as expected at start, up once running however it should work ok..

Looks like it should work giving a composite video and 2 sound channels out via the phono connectors, just follow the colours from the converter to the phono sockets on the TV.

Note that it also needs power, the cable USB to Mini USB for power is included but you'll need a USB power supply.

yes you may experience freeze up with the HDMI on the device as well as they dont always know that its linked. I think something like this maybe easier
