I got this converter that will convert a HDMI signal to a DVI signal but the box requires a source of power and i think the plug that came with the converter is a European plug and i live in the United States. Is there any way i can use an American plug with the converter? OR if i do will that short circuit the converter and render it useless? The converter is called XCM-HDMI,DVI crossover selector here is a pic of the converter http://www.xcm.cc/HDMI-DVI-Select-2.jpg On the plug its self it says this; XCM AC Adapter 5v Input: 100v ~ 240v 50/60HZ OUTPUT: 5v--1A -Thanks for any and all help
Looks like it's compatible with either power source (which is good). Unfortunately from that picture I can't tell what type of plug it uses for power. It's probably an IEC kettle lead or figure-8 lead, both of which you can easily get hold of in the US.
Here are pics of the power adapter http://i10.tinypic.com/6yxs7ye.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/6k6zknp.jpg http://i6.tinypic.com/8e03lsk.jpg http://i7.tinypic.com/7ygdu01.jpg could you link me to where i can buy those plugs?
That's a UK plug, not a european one, hehe. Best I can suggest is get a multi-connector adapter that lets you select the voltage and connector type.
Darn, its out of stock, if you dont mind could you find another link that sells that product or something Equivalent to that. Thanks alot!
Ok i bought that item. Thanks soo much for all your help man, cause im getting a ps3 this Christmas and i really wanted to play it on my LCD monitor, and now i can. Thank you.
Do your monitor and your adapter box support HDCP? You may have some problems if they don't, I forget whether the PS3 demands HDCP when you use HDMI or not.
