VGA->Component Video - Breakout Box or Adapter?
There is some confusion around the term "component". Technically it means that the different color components of the image are transfered using separate wires. Now for TVs this often translates to Y,Pb,Pr which is *not* supported directly on any Mac. So for this type of input you'd need a converter.
VGA->Component Video - Breakout Box or Adapter?
Unfortuantely, I got my plasma just before they started putting DVI on all of them (good deal though - $1700 for 32 in 2004).. anyway, looking at my TV, the back has inputs that are labelled R G B H V. Now, I've seen a VGA to 5 component adapter and a VGA to 3 component adapter. Any idea what the H/V signals are for? are they necessary for 1080i?

The cheap VGA->Component adapters you see ($20-40, say) are specifically for certain ATI cards which have special circuitry to do RGB->YPbPr component colorspace translation. The more expensive transcoders ($150-300+) do this translation outside of the box, but I have yet to see one that is explicitly super flexible in terms of resolutions supported. |
