Chris McMahon is 100% right - there is no such 'magical trick' to adapt an RGB signal to a component YPbPr signal. Posted on Monday, 19:08 GMTBrentLSmith - it is misunderstandings like this that keeps people like TechSP confused. or you can ge a compuer and software to do all this, crop, print, edit, other stuff and more. there is no such thing as this magic cable, it would probably be a big custom made black/grey/color of choice box that would cost more than a computer. this stuff is sheilded to protect against EMI.Ĭheck this out for (mabe) a more afordable do-it-yourself converter: conversion requires analog or digital arithmitic.ģ) using cat-5e cable for video probably isn't a good idea. it should tell you how to connect to stuff.Ģ) There is no such thing as a component to RGB Cable! Component video has three signals Y (total brightness) Y-R (Y minus Red) and Y-B (Y minus Blue) green is extracted with analog math in the TV. Check the manual for your projecter to see what it can handle. However since this is a projector, it dependson what the device was designed for, computers or TV. If it's old, it will make strange noises and die.

If it's a relitively new monitor, it will turn off or display an error. If you plug rgb into a VGA monitor, one of two things will happen. Video Graphics Adapter compatible monitors run at a minimum of 31Khz. standard rgb has a horizontal refresh rate of 15Khz.

O Convert at the projector, and run a 40-foot Component cable from the source to the projector O Convert right at the video source to 15-pin RGB, and run a 40-foot, 15-pin RGB cable from the source to the projector O Buy a custom cable that is Component on one end and 15-pin RGB on the other Is there any preference to any of the following connection options? Because it's ceiling mounted, my cable run will be about 40 feet. What is the difference between getting a $100 processor-based Component-to-RGB converter, versus just buying a simple connector that makes the conversion?Ģ. I've seen boxes on the internet that sell for $100-200 to convert Component to 15-pin RGB, but I've also seen simple dongles that are only $20 that look like converters. My projector will only accept 15-pin RGB for its' HD-ready inputs. My receiver and home theater equipment is all Component video. I've been using S-Video, but now I'm ready to upgrade to Component for HD sources. Posted on Tuesday, J19:08 GMTI have a ceiling-mounted projector that I'm using for Home Theater.
