Tossing a longshot y'alls way...
Have a video piece I'm working on for a local music event and I'm trying to find a converter for HDMI to Analog Coax. Will be running a coax splitter to get a 1X8 signal to a group of old CRT tvs. The one hangup on this video piece so far is finding a Digital -> Analog converter for under a couple hundred bucks.
I would have thought amazon would have solved this hardware concern in a simple search. I am running into a wall on this one.

Is this what you mean?

I think they are a rarity and SUPER expensive like you've found.
I'd looked a couple of years ago and found similar pricing.Fuck paying that kind of money for a cable - you'd probably be cheaper switching your hardware to suit.
- I would love to switch the hardware but i will be using Resolume Arena from my MB and only have miniDisplay/tbolt and HDMI out....freakpelican
- The tv's are all donated to the DJ/Event space peeps. So COAX is key. I really wish i could just projection map onto the TV's.freakpelican
- Projection mapping in this space is horrific b/c the amount of bass they push always trashes any alignment i have done in the past.freakpelican

http://www.amazon.com/New-Wayzon…not sure what coax you are looking for. but this boxes convert hdmi to analog.
overall the problem is the DRM inside the hdmi, I think that's the main reason this adapters are pretty rare
- Top one was already in my amazon cart, good looking out ;)freakpelican

Analog Coax, do you mean SDI or RCA?
- < thismonospaced
- The image below is RCA to COAX... i am most likely going to have to use one of these AFTER the HDMI-RCA conversion.freakpelican

I would love to see your final set up if you can indulge.
- FOR SURE! I'd love to post some completed project/process shots. This is my fav kind of gig. I just dont focus on it b/c there is never a budget for it usually.freakpelican

Thanks for the feedback! I have found all the listed stuff here. It was coming down to doing an amalgamate of similar products. The straight 'Cable w/o converter box' versions freak me out that they might not do a proper conversion and some listed as being used for proprietary systems only.
The TV's are all coax(the screw in kind) so the initial idea i had of just using a 'vga-hdmi-dvi --> RCA' box i already have was not a plan of confidence b/c i would then need a RCA>Coax still and I'm trying to keep the amount of hardware that could fail at a minimum.
Trying to keep this cheap for my client(close friend) on the hardware purchasing side b/c they can barely afford to pay for the work I'm doing, much less the appropriate equipment.
I keep seeing coax output like in this picture and its kind of confusing b/c i always thought of coax male ports as a threaded piece. Anyone know if the threaded female can copulate with this properly?

is this for a live gig? or a place with lots of other stuff happening? if so, try to make sure that these adapters and coax video cables don't get too close to a power cable, which may cause lots of distortion in the video signal.... I've seen this happen at trade shows till the tech shows up and fixes it.... more expensive, shielded coax cables may help too

The set-up was a success.
Ended up running thru three cheap amazon solutions before i had to make a run to a local FRYS to get a HDMI->RCA converter box.
All in all it was a fun project and the whole vibe was much better than i was expecting.
- Seriously, a downvote. Wow.freakpelican
- it went from a -1 downvote to now a +1... its amazing/scary that i care about such a thing.freakpelican
