Progressive from S-Video? (1 Viewer)

[LaMarcus]

Can you get a progressive signal from S-video?

I thought this only happened with component cables. I thought you couldn't do HD resolution off of a S-video.

A friend of mine has bought a CRT FP a old sony, and it has RGB and S-Video and another connector I've never seen before. But he also has a deinterlacer. And the deinterlacer only has S-video in, but VGA out and RGB out. And it scales all of these high resolutions. But for some reason it's not working, he gets the double picture when he turns on the deinterlacer.

What's up?:frowning:

Nope.

Likely the RGB section is analog as well. RGB does not always meet proper refresh rates or progressive scan.

So how in the hell does he have a deinterlacer that has all these resolution options, and all off the in and outs on this thing is composite? This just doesn't make any sense to me.

I think I see the problem. Your friend's "old Sony" may not be capable of accepting a progressive signal, even though it has RGB and component inputs.

Ok, that's what we were thinking. Thanks for clearing that up Robert, I really appreciate it.

What is the model number of your friends CRT projector?

Chances are he will need to buy a transcoder to change the progressive signal into a RGB signal.

Ok check it out. He has a scaler it has S-video in only, but it has RGB out with two extra connects for v and h. My question is how the hell does the scaler take s-video in and puts out all these different resolutions? I mean it has every resolution possible for output. How can this be done? Does this mean they'll all be interlaced but just at a vey high resoultion like 1080i?
