RGBS to Component/YUV?

Post by Thjodbjorn »

Is there an affordable and easy-ish (I have limited electronics experience) way to convert an RGBS signal to the YUV component inputs on my television?

thanks for any help!

I have a transcoder I purchased off ebay for about $50 that works great. can't find one on there right now though.

To use something like that, I'd have to build some sort of RGBS (it's four bnc connctors) to SCART, right?

correct, and that particular one has no problem accepting C-sync in place of C-vid

what are you connecting?

I will be connecting (eventually, I hope) the RGBS out from an extron Emotia to my CRT which has a YUV input.

I receive the Emotia on thursday, so I will be using S-Video for a while.

I haven't tried the Emotia but an Extron composite to RGBS decoder worked fine.

I think the JROK v4 can do what you want. You just need to make a cable that goes from your Emotia to the RGBS header on the JROK, as well as a +5V DC power supply.

I have one which can run entirely off the A/V port of my NeoGeo home system, it will be about the same to build one with a separate DC power input.

they're back:

and now they include a 110V power supply. :D

I HIGHLY recommend this device. Genny, PS1/2, Dreamcast, Saturn, etc in beautiful 240p on your component CRT.

If your HDTV accepts 240p it is also very nice. Perfectly clear huge pixels, like an emulator but on real hardware.

If only there were a setup which could convert to 480p and add scanlines/RGB effect just like the SLG3000 that's being worked on. :|

There is, it's called XRGB.

I think this'll work; RGB SCART > YUV converter > iScan Pro > SLG3000.

plus counting how rare and difficult it's become to obtain over the years. :cry:
