Hey there,
I'm trying to find a way to convert a composite source to a component input. Mainly because I have the Sony Playstation 3D Display as a computer monitor / extra gaming TV upstairs in my home, and it only has 2xHDMI 1xComponent.
This works fine for PS2, Xbox, etc as component cables are available for them but I play a lot of older consoles as well (Saturn, Dreamcast, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc). I've tried to find adapters, but have only managed to find a couple of pricier component -> composite solutions, while I want the other way around.
Things I'm aware of:
I don't expect component to magically improve the video quality over composite or make it magicks-HD. I just want a SD, composite quality signal on my Playstation TV.
On some television models, you can plug a composite video cable into the green component slot and it will work it out. This results in a monochrome picture on the Playstation TV.
I realize a receiver or an upscaler could probably handle this: But I would really prefer something cheaper (an adapter if possible) and smaller: Mostly because the display is largely a computer monitor, and a sometimes retro gaming monitor.
Would something like a splitter work? Split the composite cable into three RCA cables, each one going into a component input? I'm fairly ignorant about the variations in signals between the formats.
Does anyone know of an adapter, or another solution?
Thanks!
