All you need is a "type A HDMI female to female cable"...
Get one a foot or two long... Cut it in half and separate the wires into two bundles... If they are color coded,keep track of the colors... Strip the wires and connect to a RCA connector,half to the Hot and the rest to the Ground...
Do the same to the other cable,keeping track of the wire colors...
If the HDMI cable has arrows for direction,align the cable on the Cable Cooker...
Connect to the two top RCA connections on the Audiodharma Cable Cooker and condition for a few days... Take a spare RCA cable and connect it to the lower RCA connections on the Cable Cooker...

RW....there is no need to add a second cable to the second set of RCA's. The top pair of RCA's work independently from the others, and will show continuity with a properly soldered set of adaptors. :--}
Good call with the HDMI cable shown above....however, the "trick" is sorting out all 19 (!!) conductors, and bundling them properly. One must make certain the positive leads and negative leads are neatly separated, combined, and soldered to their appropriate destinations to achieve good continuity. 19 is a heck of a lot of conductors to deal with.
Yes,Alan,I understand 19 is a big bundle,but I will be dealing with about half that number into each Hot And Ground on the RCA connector...
I have solved this problem before by inserting a short larger gauge insulated stranded wire into each bundle so it sticks out the front. The larger stranded insulated wire should be the maximum gauge the the RCA connector can handle,this way it is not the weakest link to the adapter...
After each bundle is soldered I slip a piece of Heat Shrink over each bundle and then connect the single stranded insulated wire to each of the Hot and Ground connections on the RCA connector...
Then I will take a larger diameter piece of Heat Shrink and cover both Hot and Ground bundles. Then do the same to the other HDMI Adapter...

I still don't get how you're going to attach/solder this larger gauge conductor to the various leads of the HDMI cable....
All wires are stripped and Pre-tinned with Cardas Quad Eutectic Silver Solder...
I use a Soldering Jig to hold the wires steady...
Then add a little more heat from my Hakko 936 Soldering Station to the bundle...
Very interesting Radio Wonder & Alan.
Great pics- Radio Wonder.
I did the same thing when I made my DIY USB Adapters from spare iFi Audio parts... My out of pocket cost was zero dollars,except for the Cardas solder...
Here I am conditioning two iFi Audio USB cables on the Audiodharma Cable Cooker...
