Composite / Component Woes

[Blade]

A little background on this:

I've had a PSP Slim with a Composite AV Cable for as long as I can remember and the first time I tried hooking the thing up to my monitor and everything else on the PSP displayed properly... up until I tried starting a game, after which I got this "lovely" little message:

----------
"To display this screen on a connected device, you must be connected using a Component AV cable or a D-terminal AV cable and you must output the video content in progressive format."
----------

Years later, I finally get an HD Monitor, HDMI switch and even a Composite Upscaler... and I just tested it and it works fine... I can't wait to try it on my Playstation 2 once I hook that beast up... except....

EXCEPT FOR THAT BLASTED MESSAGE!!

Hahahah... I'm back to where I friggan started!

I need Component or D-Terminal (whatever those are) in to HDMI.

I'm laughing at myself because I also own a Component AV cable for PSP, but now I need some kind of Component to HDMI adapter (since my monitor has no Component inputs and just the single HDMI ports and one VGA port to spare)... it's just one thing after another...

Assuming, for a moment, that I ever decide to own a PS4 or a PSVita, will I have related problems with them? Or are they straight up HDMI?

The PS3 has both analog and HDMI output, the PS4 *only* has HDMI output.

The PS Vita does not officially support any video output at all. Early models have a proprietary video output port (with an onboard scaler), but Sony never produced cables for it. The second-gen Vita doesn't even have that port.

The best solution for video output from a Vita is either to get the console modded, or just buy a PS TV (Sony's consolized Vita), which is way cheaper than any mods. The Playstation TV is $40 USD, and it's an entire Vita in a console form.

So, right now what I need is a Ypbpr Component to HDMI converter that does "Progressive Mode" display, if I'm going to be able to use my PSP in HDMI display.

Amazon has a lot of stuff from Portta... can I trust that it will work?

You know that you won't get fullscreen gameplay though, right ? The PSP does output an active 272p image on a 480p signal, so you'll have heavy borders on all four sides.

I am playing PSP games on a VITA TV just fine in full screen.

Problem is just that the quality is quite horrible. At least 2D games, which i'm playing right now (Corpse Party). First of all the VITA TV has no bilinear filtering (funnily enough, the normal VITA does, and afaik the PS3 as well) an also stretches the image quite roughly to fit to the screen. Obviously stretching those 272p to 720p isn't a great idea.

The PSTV upscales to full screen, and does seem to use bilinear filtering for PSX games. The PSP will play PSX games at either real 240p or upscaled 480p. It's only PSP games on PSP that will be tiny.
