VAG Breakout Cable to Component (1 Viewer)

[Ben Ven]

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have read alot of interesting ideas and posts. I think its great! An area where knowledgeable people can share their thoughts and ideas. Keep up the good work!

Anyway, on to my question. Excuse my ignorance!!

I am thinking of purchasing a HTPC for my next generation theater. Now, if one has a RPTV with only component video inputs, how can you extract a VGA signal from the PC and input this signal to the component inputs? I have yet to see h or v sync inputs on a RPTV. I have seen VGA to component breakout cables, but they always have the h and v sync signals and BNC connectors.

Or are you reserved to using the S-video output commonly found on most video cards. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Ben!
VGA and component video are to different formats of video you will need a VGA to component transcoder.
Here is exactly what you need:
