Is there HDMI audio and video in one cable?

Do most amplifiers also convert video sources? example composite to hdmi?

  • I have a ONKYO AV Receiver TX-SR 702 amplifier I have two acer AL1715 monitors I have a Dell ST2210 monitor I have 5 sony speakers I have a laptop with hdmi and vga out I have a dell dimension C521 desktop with an upgraded gpu that has dual dvi output I have a zune hd dock that I would like to use both with my zune 120 and zune hd with I'm just wondering how to wire all of that up? I'll help with my basic plan, please correct it if you see any mistakes. I'll start with my desktop, it will be connect to all three of the monitors, one of the acers will be connected permanently with my home screen being on that, the other dvi output will be connected to a dvi switcher that will be connected to the other two monitors. The amp will be connected through hdmi to the dell monitor as that being the amps only video output source. The video input sources to the amp through hdmi will be the hd zune dock and the laptop. The zune dock video input will be connected to the amp through hdmi, but also a composite video, this is an issue because I'm not sure if my amp will convert composite video in to an hdmi signal out. If not I am thinking of buying a composite video to vga converter to plug directly into the dell display. For the audio, the desktop will not be connected to the amp, it's connected to the to acer montiors, the acer monitors have speakers built-in. For the amp, the zune hd dock will use the optical cable for audio while using the zune hd, the zune hd dock will use stereo audio cables for audio while using the zune 120. For the laptop I'm assuming that the hdmi cable will suffice as the audio for the amp, not requiring an optical like the zune hd dock. Lastly hooking up the speakers to the amp, I already have a 5.1 system, but the amp can accommodate up to 7.1, so I might add 2 speakers more some time, I was wondering if it will support 7.1 through hdmi or optical?

  • Answer:

    No, only high end receivers do. Most receivers convert component to HDMI, not composite.
