RGB to NTSC converter, will this work?

Anyone tried this?

I love my Neobitz but would this do the same thing? Is the quality any good.

It would make for some dirt cheap CMVS projects.

hmm, or do you think its just pulling composite video from the SCART cable and adapting that to S-video, thus ignoring an RGB signal.

I have one of those and was wondering the same thing. I was just going to solder straight to the SCART pins?

Since it's only $3 I would assume it does so you might expect a checker board pattern on the s-video. But there is the chance that it has an internal encoder.

It most likely doesn't perform any sort of conversion. SCART is just a general purpose connector that can carry various types of signal like RGB, s-video, and component. It looks like it just changes the connector type from SCART to more standard issue cable types.

yeah, too cheap to have a chroma encoder inside. I'm sure it just changes the cable types. If you like circuit building at all I recommend trying to make your own, it's a cheap/fairly simple circuit and the best way to do CMVS mods. Use the AD724/5 or CXA1645.

Ive boughten one of these before, I used it for the female scart part. Theres no encoder of any type inside it. It take euro scart chroma and luma and turns it into a svideo connector. On an American or even most tv it turns it into a grey and white picture with huge dot crawl. I have a multisync that accepts pal/secam/dk through the rf/composite/scart but the svideo input is ntsc only.
So unless your tv accepts pal video through the svideo, the scart cable you have has all its pins and the output source uses the chroma and luma output of the scart cable, this is useless bit of kit.
