Default RCA to HDMI - this simple?

The kitchen TV has been showing signs of increasing illness and

to take a look, replaced the fuse and found the screen driver sub board
had over heated - so its scrap.

The good part of that TV was that it had both SCART for the DVB input
and RCA for the camera which watches the front of the house and it was
easy to switch between them. Looking for a replacement, I wasn't able to
match its inputs, but settled on a 1xSCART, 2xHDMI TV. So I now need to
find some means to use an HDMI input via which to feed an RCA from the
camera.

Is it as simple as buying this item on ebay
eBay item number: 360760234853 - please?

I thought it was much more complex than that..

I'm sure you are correct. How is a passive lead going to to A to D
conversion?


Pass?

Why not split the scart input with a scart switch box and a RCA
composite video to scart adaptor


Idea was to make it quick/easy to switch between watching TV and
watching the camera input via the remote. I have a SCART switch box
somewhere around, but intended to work as a temporary solution.



Something like this claims to do what you want..

I would have bought a different TV, can you take it back?
