Hdmi to vga

[jormar6]

I just bought a Sony Vaio laptop with vga and hdmi hook ups, and want to do power point presentations in my church using a projector only slated for vga, I would like to use hdmi somehow since my vaio is also a blueray player. What should i do?

theres no point if u send a signal though the HDMI to the VGA the signal will no longer be high definition. why else would they make a ntotally new video output

high def can go though HDMI and DVI not VGA or S video. plus if u are doing a powerpoint presentation ur blue ray player has nothing to do with it, unless u are planning to play a blue ray movie.

just use a VGA cable and use the VGA socket. or get a projector with HDMI

VGA is analog, so HDMI can't send a signal through it. Even if it did it'll be bad quality. Plus the projector is probably only a 720p at the most, and a VGA can do that. Blu-ray has nothing to do with the powerpoint.

Technically, you can do HDMI to DVI, then DVI to VGA, through two adaptors. The problem is you lose quality and VGA might not have enough bandwith for such a large resolution.

I'm a bit confused on the question: you have both a VGA and HDMI connection, and want to use both a VGA and HDMI connection?

I think he has both but also thinks the powerpoint uses blu-ray/

just use VGA, to play the blue ray properly, you would reqire the projector to support HDCP, which if it doesn't have HDMI or DVI it doesn't support it.

By the way. VGA does have enough bandwidth for Hidef, as it can esaily go to 1920*1200, how ever as it is purely analog, it is unable to support the conent protection.
