USB to 3 RCA Video Cable, Yellow / White / Red

This cable ends in a USB-A plug on one side and three RCA plugs on the other — yellow for composite video, white and red for stereo audio — and it exists to play footage and stills from a camcorder or digital camera through RCA inputs. It is a viewing cable, not a data cable.

That distinction matters, so we state it plainly: the cable does not transfer files, and it cannot be used to send a picture from a computer to a TV through a USB port. It is a passive analogue lead for devices that output an AV signal over a USB-shaped connector. If you are not sure whether your camera supports this, check the manufacturer’s manual for an AV-out or USB-to-RCA accessory before ordering. We would rather answer the question than take a return.

FAQ

Can I connect my laptop to a TV with this cable?
No. A USB port does not carry an analogue video signal and the cable does not transfer data. Use HDMI or VGA for that.

Will it work with any camcorder?
Only with models that output composite video over their USB or AV port. Check the camera manual before ordering.
