RGB to Component Video Conversion

[maikeldepotter]

Any ideas on RGB to component video conversion?

Trying to get the best picture quality on my Panasonic pt-ae2000 LCD projector, coming from a televison reciever that only has SCART output. I think the best way to go is converting the RGB signal to component and feed that into my projector. There are several converters on the market but I am not sure if this is the best way to go.

Thanks for replying.

They don't look too cheap... that is for sure.

I don't understand though... why are you feeding your nice projector with a signal from your television. Do you not have satellite or cable in The Netherlands?

Here's a Scart to component adaptor that also has the additional RCA Input/Output to support sync for projectors.

Thanks Sonny,

You got me thinking again.

The problem is that with the standard mediabox from by cable company I only have SCART output.

I now have to decide to upgrade the standard box to a HD version with HDMI output, which will cost me an additional 13.5$ per month. In a few months they will add recording capabilities to this machine, a combination that I probably will not be able to resist.

Will make my converting issue disappear....

PS Sattelite is on my list for 2009.

Thanks Mike, but I don't think this device will do the trick as I need to go from RGB to Component, instead of Composite to Component.

And as my previous post says: I am rethinking my options and may not need this conversion after all....

My mistake, I understood your televison reciever only had SCART output. Anyway, you won't regret the HDMI upgrade!
