HDMI RF Modulator.com is a practical resource for people trying to make old-school video equipment work with modern TVs, displays, and home entertainment systems.
The site is edited by Gary Albert, aka the HDMI Guy, whose interest in solving connection problems goes back to his time working as an A/V tech. Long before HDMI became the standard, Gary was dealing with coaxial cable, RCA connections, component video, RF signals, and the assorted adapters and hardware required to get audio and video from one piece of equipment to another. The connectors have changed, but the basic problem hasn’t: you have two devices, and somehow they need to talk to each other.
HDMI RF Modulator.com puts that hands-on perspective to work. We publish straightforward guides covering HDMI and RF modulators, converters, splitters, coaxial connections, composite and component video, and other useful A/V hardware. We also tackle the odd compatibility problems that crop up when DVD players, VCRs, cable boxes, game consoles, security equipment, and other older devices meet newer televisions.
Our approach is simple: explain what you need, why you need it, and how to hook it up without burying the answer under unnecessary technical jargon. Whenever practical, we’d rather help you keep good equipment working than tell you to replace it.
