HDMI to VGA cable for TH2G backup

Forum / Marketplace

||this is an edited version from another post i left on another forum||

TH2G analogue is in the post...

i have a 2way VGA switcher which i intend to use for back-up...

I want my 2nd output to come from my new ARCHOS 5 with DVR Station

I think I may be able to get away without using a scan converter if i use the HDMI output...i've found this cable online but have no idea if it's a hoax as it seems to good to be true...

I'm sure gamers or home cinema types can push me in right direction...

Also I do realize the image will not be 4:1 as coming from my MBP, but i'm only intending for back-up to be for extreme cases to avoid blue screen drama's

Let me know what you think
I suspect that magic cable is a hoax, looking at the specs on this wiki page suggests that HDMI is a purely digital connection.
