Overview
- The Simplecom CM505v2 is a one-way converter that bridges legacy component video equipment with modern HDMI displays. It accepts analog component video input (YPbPr) alongside stereo audio (R/L) and outputs clean digital HDMI, enabling older devices like DVD players, set-top boxes, and retro game consoles to display on contemporary screens without signal degradation.
Powered by USB, the converter requires no dedicated power supply and works with standard USB wall adapters or PC/TV USB ports, simplifying installation. It supports the full range of component video resolutions from 480i through 1080p, with 165MHz bandwidth per channel and 24-bit deep colour ensuring faithful reproduction of video and audio signals.
The converter is one-way only (component to HDMI) and does not perform upscaling; your display must support the native resolution of the source device. It includes all necessary cables and a USB power adapter, making it immediately ready to deploy.

FAQs
Can I use this converter to connect HDMI devices back to component inputs?
No. This converter works in one direction only—component to HDMI. It cannot be reversed to convert HDMI to component video.
Does this converter upscale video resolution?
No. The converter outputs the same resolution as the input source. Your HDMI display must support the native resolution of the connected device (e.g., 480p, 720p, or 1080p).
What power supply do I need?
The CM505v2 is powered by USB. Use the included USB wall adapter, or connect the USB cable to any USB port on your TV or PC. Maximum power consumption is 5W.
Which older devices can I connect with this converter?
This converter works with any component video device that outputs YPbPr and stereo audio, including legacy set-top boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and video recorders.
Does it support surround sound or digital audio?
No. It supports uncompressed 2-channel stereo audio (LPCM) only. Multi-channel or digital audio formats are not supported.
What cables are included in the box?
The package includes an HDMI cable, USB power cable, USB wall adapter, and the converter unit. Component video and audio cables are not included; source device cables are typically supplied with the original equipment.
