Is there a converter for XH-A1 from component to HDMI Cable ?
Is there a Converter that plug into the Canon A1 or H1 Terminal and has an HDMI Cable on the other end ? I know you will only get picture, but is there anything like that exist ?

There can be no such device according to HDCP law, so if you find one... call crime stoppers and collect your reward. The closest thing would probably be a switch though. But that would be like 200+ cause it is like a receiver for home theater, and prob would give u same quality anyways...
Just a link on HDCP High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Michael........
There is no such thing as a Component to HDMI converter cable, simply can't be done.
If you wish to watch a tape produced with an XH A1 on a screen fitted with a HDMI port, buy a second hand HV20 or similar which does have a HDMI output and play it on that. Works exceedingly well. CS |

Can't do it with a cable, here's an adapter box:
Component Video + Digital Audio to HDMI Converter Don't know what the quality will be like though. Richard |

I don't know for sure, but one of these might work
There are many component video to HDMI converters, but I never tested one. The specs should be good enough. Try one of these links:Component Video + Analog Audio to HDMI Converter, or: Component Video + digital audio to HDMI Converter - HDMI 1.3b and 1080p Rated - HDMI 1.3 RATED DEVICES . Copy protection should really be no issue here, because you own that material, unless you want to copy protect it. In that case I don't think you could do it with these boxes.

Pretty basic answer.
The output on the XH-A1 is an analogue component video signal with no audio. HDMI is a digital component signal that also carries audio. You can only transform this signal with an analog to digital converter and this won't happen in a simple cable. You need some electronics to do this, like a Blackmagic Intensity Pro video card in your computer or some HD TV sets. |

It will be nice to have a 2f HDMI cable then the 10f Canon DTC-1000 cable hooked up to a monitor on your camera.
All LCD TVs have HDMI connection on the side NO Component input, It is a pain to hook-up in the back of a TV especially when it is mounted on the wall.
