Where do you buy them?

A guy named Johnny Sierascky makes those. He told me it's his own schematic.
He's selling those at the brazilian ebay, called "Mercado Livre". There's where I bought mine. There goes the link (it's in portuguese but you can check out the pictures):

The pots are for RGB adjustment.
Johnny told me he just build a "bridge" from RGB to Component without any further processing in the image which is PERFECT for us. Right?
Mine worked perfectly just out-of-the-box. Perfect image: Good colours, no lines, no noises, no distortions what so ever.
There goes some pictures Johnny linked to the ad. Those are not from my system but mine looks just as good.

That looks like a very elegant solution, if you own one and can take and don't mind taking a look, are there any markings on that single inline dip package directly behind the power input connector? Im curious what method he's using to convert the signal. It looks like a minimal amount of signal processing, and that's a good thing! Thanks for posting!

It's surely a direct bridge between RGB and Component. Pretty much what rCadeGaming is planing to do I wonder.
I had the same curiosity and did take a look. Unfortunately all the ICs are blanked (IDs scrathed) and the actual circuit is convered with a stick. Anyway I'll send some pictures. Maybe you can spot something.

I appreciate you taking a look! Scratching off the part numbers is a pretty common practice, its suppose to help prevent people from copying/reverse engineering the circuit, but unless its a custom IC it really just adds a couple extra steps in the process.

Amra,
There you go!
