Answer starts by learning some basic technology.

Early video was RGB - provided by three colored RCA jacks. Or a composite video (one jack). TV stations started recording in S-video - higher resolution. Then retransmitting that to what was then obsolete technology RGB or composite video.

Eventually a better technology was promoted along with HD (also called digital) video -HDMI. Fortunately this standard was not subverted by Congress that created a HDTV standard that does not exist anywhere in the world - 8VSB.

Converting from high tech to low tech is often easy. Converting from low tech to high tech is harder to locate - because it makes no sense. Why would anyone display crappy video on a better display.

Usually an HDMI source also has some obsolete technology outputs - to output standard technology digital video video into obsolete technology RBG. Better and cheaper is to obtain a low cost video display that does HDMI and other obsolete technology video inputs such as RGB, composite, or S-video. Solution - spend less on a better (current technology) video display.
