Hi!
I am searching for possibility to organize analog input for a DSP with HDMI input only.
I am using miniDSP HDA (2x HDMI inputs, 1x HDMI output, 8x analog outputs) for my multi-way DSP based speaker system. Normally I am streaming simply from my computer. HDMI output is connected to a beamer, but is not always used, I can simply listen to music without a video.
Now I need an analog input for this system. Sound quality is not a real concern in my case, and I need only stereo. I have seen of course simple AV2HDMI or VGA2HDMI converters, but will they work without video input, maybe someone has expirience?
Or maybe you can help me with a way to do it?
Thanks!
Andriy.

Welcome to the forum!
If you only want to convert stereo analogue, you need only connect the red and white RCA inputs to the RCA to HDMI adaptor.
You can then connect the adaptor to a suitable soundbar etc.

If the DSP processes only the audio, then it may be better to opt for one with an audio interface like S/PDIF, as HDMI may not operate without video.
That's doubtful since HDMI is a proprietary technology whose details cost money (licences).
Do you need an audio input and HDMI output device?
If so, I have one here that can provide 4 sets of AES/EBU inputs or 8 balanced analog inputs. HDMI output box.
It does not require video signal input. Video-related information is generated by the internal CPLD controller.
