Title: vga/s-video/rca TO coax?
Post by: acvieluf on June 21, 2019, 09:24:46 pm
Is there such thing as an adapter that can do FROM vga/s-video/rca to coaxial?

I've tried with google, but the only things that i seem to find are the other way around, in the form of various rf adapters.

Does it exist?

Pretty sure the search terms you're looking for are "vhf modulator", "uhf modulator", "NTSC modulator" or "rf modulator".

Didn't see any models with VGA inputs.

There are tons of them with one or more RCA composite (not RCA component) inputs.

Here are some with RCA composite and S-video inputs.

Scott, I am so embarrassed. I've seen a million of these when I was searching. It's been so many years since I used one, I was thinking they did the opposite (coax -> RCA), so I kept passing them over.

Thank you

Those little converter boxes also make nice resistor boxes (with some mods) for the workbench being 75oms is a common load and play well with scopes and such...There is a military version that in days gone by that was quite desirable to sink everything in your shop to one standard but kinda hard to find anymore...Any...wayyyy, food for thought.
