I have an old Plasma tv which came out before HD came out so there is no hdmi port. I wanted to get the new Apple tv 3rd gen that released today so I can watch netflix and do the mirroing thing with my iphone and ipad but I am wondering if I can still do all of this and hook the device into the yellow,white,red cords. I am asking because I am not a really techy guy......
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.
