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.
ArcadEd:
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.
