Title: HDMI out, into blue fifteen-pin video adapter
Post by: SRC on May 08, 2013, 06:17:15 pm
Techie question for you:
My daughter's got a Raspberry Pi, which only has an HDMI video out.  I want to give her an old monitor (so I get to keep the shiny new one), but the old monitor has only got the old-fashioned blue fifteen-pin plug socket on it.   :fighting2:

I've found cables like this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/1-5M-HDMI-Male-Converter-Cable/dp/B003X97FLW/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1368033166&sr=1-7&keywords=hdmi+adapter+15+pin (http://www.amazon.co.uk/1-5M-HDMI-Male-Converter-Cable/dp/B003X97FLW/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1368033166&sr=1-7&keywords=hdmi+adapter+15+pin)

The blurb talks of a converter, but I think that's if I'm using a new monitor with an old source.  Am I right, or do I need an adapter, and if so, what?  Please include a link from Amazon or Maplins - I can't work out what I need!

Thanks in advance.
