Hey everyone, I’m new here so my apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I got an old black and white tv and I’m working on converting it to accept HDMI so I can run a streaming device.
with the TV, the HDMI to Coaxial adapter, and the streaming device, there would be 3 power cords. The TV runs off ac, the other two have a power cord that convert to DC. I don’t want to dive in to making a single cord for all three, so I’ll focus on trying to combine the two DC components.
the two components are
-5v 500ma
-5v 1a
from all the reading I have gathered that I need to combine the two Amps, so a cord that is 1.5A
my question is, do I combine the 2 volts required(10v) or just keep it 5v?
or am I going at this all wrong?
thank you
