Re: RGB to Component video converter (SCART)

OK, my apologies...I thought all those RCA jacks were *outputs*!
After all, it does say RGB *to* component, and SCART is RGB, right?

And it also says:

* BRAND NEW; Scart (male) to Component (female) Adapter.
* For 'RGB' scart video signal to high quality 'Y/U/V' component video
signal.
* Signal output from DVD players, Freeview, Sky or Sky+ set-top boxes
to Component Video.

That sure *sounds* like it accepts an RGB signal on the SCART side
and outputs a Component signal on the RCA side.

It could be either :-)

Most SCART equipped televisions/displays have a pair of connectors -
one is convention SCART RGB, the other accepts component or s-video.

I thought that SCART was also an *output* connector for AV equipment,
and that it would supply RGB that this box would convert to component.
(And with all those pins, not supplying a little power seems like an
oversight...)

It is - SCART outputs usually only supply RGB however. At least down
here, it's pretty common for a DVD player to have SCART, YUV, s-video,
and composite outputs.

Does anyone know what this $5 thing actually does?
(I'm pretty sure that the $60 box does what I described.)

Now I'm confused :-) It's certainly common to use such a thing to
drive RGB SCART TV's from sources that only support component video.
Potentially, it's just a simple conversion box that routes the three-
coax RGB *or* Component signal to the correct SCART pins. This lets
you use either RGB or Component outputs on source equipment that only
have the three RCA connectors.

Since it seems powerless, this would be the most logical explanation,
but then, it's equally valid to plug such a thing into a SCART source
device to export RCA, but I've not seen that done.

Of course as I mentioned the power connector may simply be
invisible...
