We are going into the BVMs inputs via scart-to-bnc right? Why the fixation with making scart come back out the output? I'm over in the States (not sure where you are from) and scart isn't exactly native to us, we just snag it for best 240p signal. But once we have that as a source we can just use one of these guys right? Seems cost effective at 8 bucks, and I already had one for using my Dreamcast with my BVM. I suppose like you were saying if you want to use an upscaler as last piece before the capture device it might be easier for you that way.
As for needing a sync strike, if you are already using CSYNC scart cables from your consoles the strike would be a redundancy no? I was under the impression that a sync strike is to change another sync like composite video + sync to csync? I still haven't completed my capture setup yet, but once I do I will be sure to get back to the previous threads where I've asked questions (including this one) with pictures / updates. But as for what is in my head for a setup it will be:
game console with scart csync > scart-to-bnc into BVM input > BVM output with that vga cable I linked above > capture card such as PEXHDCAP with vga to dvi adapter
Dude I'm honestly so useless with these things I get confused instantly. Well out of my depth tbh. I'm in the UK though so RGB is/was pretty much standard. I can't see why your $8 cable wouldn't work but then again, I know very little!
