Question about Jamma RGB to TV

[ArcadEd]

I know there are encoders out there to go from RGB to Composite and S-Video.  Neither offer the same quality of having a true RGB monitor.

My question is, since Component uses Red, Green Blue, has there been any research done on getting a jamma board working on a TV with Component?

Thanks, I know it's a long shot as I have googled, but there are some bright people around here .

Component doesn't use red, green, and blue.  It's just the connectors that are color-coded with those colors.  The actual signals are red, blue, and brightness, so it's basically S-video with better color.

Thanks Samstag.

I had a feeling it wasn't that easy or it would have been done already.  Appreciate the reply

There are SCART (RGB) to Component convertors, such as:

http://www.converters.tv/products/converters/other_products/46.html
(same product)

The other option is a component-out AV kit for a console.
They take the RGB from the console & convert it to component.
PS1/PS2
XBox
GameCube


Either way, you'd need to check the pinout of the connector & work out how to connect it to your JAMMA output.

I emailed jrok about this (http://www.jrok.com/hardware/RGB.html) and he told me by the end of the month he has a component version coming out .

He even showed pictures, look nice. Still has s-video and composite, but now include component.

What about TVs that take SCART? are those possible to find in the states?  Anybody got a model they can recommend?

My projector has a SCART connection, but I'm a little weary about plugging in something into it LOL.  Plus the cables seem a little more difficult to come by in the states.

Be interesting to know if a SCART TV is available in the states though, the wiring from RGB to scart is pretty straight forward.

  what does the scart connection look like?
