Frequently Asked Questions - 10318 MONOPRICE

What is the Monoprice 10318 audio/video converter used for?

The Monoprice 10318 converts HDMI signals to composite video (RCA) and stereo audio, or vice versa. It allows you to connect modern HDMI devices to older TVs or projectors with composite inputs.

Does this converter require external power?

Yes, it requires 5V DC power. It can be powered via the included USB cable. Some users may need a USB power adapter (not included).

What is the maximum supported resolution?

It supports up to 1080p@60Hz for HDMI input. When converting to composite, the output is limited to 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL).

Can I connect a gaming console to an old TV using this converter?

Yes, connect the HDMI output of your console to the converter's HDMI input, then connect the composite (RCA) output to your TV. For best compatibility, set the console to output 480p or 720p.

Why is there no video output?

Check that the converter is powered (LED should be on). Ensure all cables are securely connected. Try a different HDMI source. Also verify the TV is set to the correct composite input.

Does it support audio?

Yes, when converting from HDMI to composite, audio is extracted and output via the L/R RCA jacks. For composite to HDMI, analog audio is embedded into the HDMI stream.

Can I use this converter with a Blu-ray player?

Yes, most Blu-ray players output HDMI. The converter will work, but note that copy-protected content (HDCP) may not be displayed. The converter supports HDCP pass-through for most content.

What cable types are recommended?

Use high-quality HDMI cables for input and output. For composite, use standard RCA cables (yellow for video, red/white for audio). Keep cable lengths short to avoid signal degradation.

Is this converter bidirectional?

No, it has a fixed direction: one side is HDMI input and composite output, the other side is composite input and HDMI output. Check the labels on the unit.

How do I clean and maintain the converter?

Unplug the device. Wipe the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
