Black Box HDMI Video to Analog Video Scaler: A Fool’s Purchase?
Last year I purchased this all but perfect BD player https://www.whathifi.com/us/reviews/pioneer-udp-lx500
Though I eventually will use it with an OLED TV, like probably all CRT TV users here I’m so in love with my sadly all too small 32” Toshiba CRT TV (to view 1.33:1 content) that I wanted to use them together for a good while more. Unfortunately, the player has no analog video outputs so I purchased this box over a year ago, but which I only now have time to use. https://www.blackbox.com/en-us/store...VSC-HDMI-VIDEO However, though I paid about half the full price of that box, I only now realized that I still made a costly mistake: If I connect this box directly between the BD Player’s HDMI video output and the TV’s S-video or composite inputs won't the player’s built-in copy protection, thanks to the Blu-Ray Assn, prevent the player from outputting any digital video for the scaler to convert to analog? No way around this, I presume? |
