component to s-video

eggman1964 · 01-01-07, 03:53 PM

Hi all. I was wondering if anybody out there could confirm if this adapter setup will work. I want to convert component output from my projector into and older satellite receiver which only has composite and s-video inputs (4-pin). I have a component to 7-pin s-video adapter (from my Nvidia graphics card package) and then I would use a 7-pin to 4 pin s-video adapter to connect to my satellite receiver.

so this equates to the following:

component to 7 pin s-video to 4-pin-s-video.

thanks for any help!

Cheers,

Get a new satellite receiver. If your proj is HD, then please feed it an HD signal!

Thanks for your advice (or lack thereof) and I plan to do so eventually, but as I have an SD satellite for now I want to make use of it until I upgrade to an HD receiver for my satellite. So the question remains and I would appreciate any help on this.

Your projector has an input. The receiver has an output.

You cannot convert component to composite or s-video with 'a bunch of adaptors', you'd need an encoder.

AKA, it would be cheaper and A LOT easier to get an HD sat receiver. Why buy an HDTV then refuse to feed it an HD signal? Makes zero sense whatsoever. That's like buying a sportscar then refusing to drive it over 5 miles per hour.

Why do you care? Let the guy try to do what HE wants.

HD Fanaticism is no better than those that go door to door preaching the religious beliefs.

because there is simply NO point to having something and not using it for what it is made for! I have no idea why someone would spend time converting component to S-Video when they could simply buy/lease/get for free a new box with the right connections?
