You cannot convert a digital signal from an HDMI cable to RCA.  Well I should say without a device that will down-convert the signal from digital to analog.

The device that I posted should do well, I use a similar device (Discontinued) in my truck to allow me to see my GPS on my Kenwood video screen.

I am sure there still is a few around but I don't have much info on them, I am using a model that has been discontinues for years...  Maybe a cable like this may work with a female coupler,,, http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-RCA-VGA-Cable-1-8ft/dp/B002ZUI68G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=12...

Honestly I wouldn't touch that with a 10ft pole, there doesn't appear to be any converting device to switch the HDMI's Digital signal to Analog for RCA.  Sure the Signal might make it to the RCA jacks, but it's going to be a Digital signal and a TV or other RCA device will not display it.

 

Maybe the OP does have RGB, but it sounded like he was looking for the red/yellow/white A/V RCA cables.

I know that finding a converter that converts hdmi to analog rca signal but I can verify that it is possible and devices exist but it seems to take a bit of searching to locate one that can do it correctly...

 

Good Luck
