HDMI to VGA (Phono)

[TechSupp]

Just had some tablets set up in school and noticed that had a HDMI output connection. Do I have to have anything special to output the HDMI to Phono so it could be plugged in to a wall connection and display it on the Smartboard via a projector (non HDMI)? Seen cables that go from HDMI to phono but have a sneaky feeling its not that simple and more costly equipment is required?

HDMI is digital VGA is not. Therefore you need additional equipment between them.
