Can i convert s video to component

Does anyone have any experience in this? Well what are you trying to convert anyway? Most video game systems have an option for S-Video output or can be modified for it.

Since they are just a tad different I think you need a transcoder which I don't understand why they cost so much. It's a long story, but basically I want to keep certain systems plugged into the TV via component, but before the signals reach the TV I want to split them and have half of everything going to a Dazzle, where I can record it. You can't record in component on a Dazzle. Another way of saying it is that I want to play in component, but record in s-video.

Splitting a component signal is easy, but converting one of the splits to s-video, as you said, requires a box of some type. Like you, I don't understand why such a device is so expensive. Maybe it's because it's because there's not that many of them out there, since they are not hi-demand devices. Try converting that instead. It sucks because the diagram on the buy.

But that's not what I got. Some receiver will upconvert SVideo to Component i i. Denon I don't know of any "cheap" stand-alone devices. Are you sure it's not the cables? I know you've probably tried all the cables you own, but just in case you haven't The composite signal is just run on a extra pin in the svideo port.

The adapter just brings that pin out to the right socket. That would explain the extra 3 pins 7 instead of 4 , since component uses 3 sockets. What Does S-Video Do? S-Video connectors transmit a medium quality analog video signal between devices. It can only transmit standard-definition images and it does not send audio. HDMI cables are available in runs of up to 40 feet while still maintaining optimum data transfer.

Cabling made for component video is color-coded green, red and blue for this reason. It is also usually of higher quality and might have better shielding coverage and lower impedance levels. The red, yellow, and white cables are called the RCA or composite cables. Many people call them the red, yellow, white cable for easier understanding. You can use the following names to refer to the cable: Audio video AV cable.

RGB is an analog Video Component. RGB usually comes with 15 pin connections. YPbPr uses only three separate cables. They are often color-coded, yellow for composite video , red for the right audio channel, and white or black for the left channel of stereo audio.

Bottom line is it's a conversion process - not something that can be "cabled". Clint DeBoer said:. You actually need a product called a transcoder. Composite yellow uses 1 ohm cable and they make cheap s-video to composite transcoders. You do not get a benefit out of using component video unless your original source material originates as component video. If it originates as s-video, then use s-video, you won't be unhappy with the results.
