Is it Possible to Connect my ColecoVision to my iMAC?

I had my ColecoVision system refitted with RCA connectors to connect with a more modern TV, but no idea how to (if possible) connect it to my iMAC 2019.

Ideas?

Thanks for any/all help!

iMac 27″, macOS 14.4

Using a HDMI cable to view computer content on my TV Hello community, I have a question of connecting my iMac to my non smart TV. It seems I can connect a HDMI cable from my iMac to the TV and see what my Apple computer sees. Great. But, my Apple computer doesn't have a HDMI port so I can connect the HDMI cable. I see there are connectors that transition from HDMI to USB. But, do I have to connect that transition cable to a USB port or one of the thunderbolt connector ports? I'm using all the USB ports right now. Not sure what thunderbolt is all about? Can someone explain? Nonetheless, which port do I can to? USB or the thunderbolt port? What should be the specification of the connector and the HDMI cable itself. It seems there are various specifications for the HDMI cable and connector. Sure would appreciate help so I can view my Apple computer content on my TV. Again, I don't have a smart TV. Not sure if that complicates things or not? Thank you, Apple community. Rick

An iMac 2019 is not capable of being an external display for anything expecting an RCA video connection.

There are RCA-to-HDMI converters around, which might get your output onto a modern TV.

But not onto that iMac.
