Remember RGB is not the same as component video. You CANNOT connect RGB to component directly sinice they use different color spaces. You need a transcoder such as the Audio Authority 9A60. You can find detailed instructions at http://www.jwardell.com/info/minihtpc.html This transcoder is expensive ($115) and that is why I am sitting on the fence about buying a Mac mini. I have a Toshiba RPTV that has only component video input. Some ATI cards have the circuitry to output component video through their pins but require windows specific drivers. Unfortunately, they never support Macs well. |
