JS Tech RGB Scart to Component - (to HDMI via amp?)

spaceman763 · 20-05-2008, 8:32 PM

Hi guys

Apologies for the confusing title. I've recently bought a JS Tech converter for use with my Sky+ box and projector. S video just wasn't cutting it so I am now going to convert the rgb scart output on my sky box to component and plug this into my pj.

I also need to buy an amp but I think I read somewhere that if a plugged the component cables to an amp and upconverted via HDMI it would not work. Is this true of all amps?

Regards

some amp shave video upconversion and will convert COmposite/s-video and componment to digiotal and sent ove rHDMI some will even scale to 1080i 720p but i would run component direct to PJ for sky and HDMI for HD sources.

Hello spaceman763

Horny must have been sniffing soldering flux when he was posting yesterday

There is no technical reason why a Converted to YUV (via a JS Tech RGB2YUV Converter) signal cant then be converted to Digital and possibly re-scaled via a suitable AV Receiver.

Though keep in mind two layers of conversion may result in an inferior signal vs. just one conversion.
