Question about RGB

Hi, I live in America and Im not familiar with RGB or SCART connectors. Is there a converter I can get that will let me plug a Uberia mini gun into my TV that just has A/V input jacks? Im sure this is a dumb question that gets asked all the time but I would apreciate any help that could be offered.
Thanks

If you are sure this was asked, just use the search. I replied this some days ago.

No, there's no such adaptor, if you want a supergun with A/V or s-video output you need to have a special device (like the JROK RGB to NTSC encoder) installed in your supergun.

Too bad, oh well. Thanks for the help.

Uberia also sells a small RGB to NTSC encoder that they can supply for a cost with their SuperGuns.

I would check with them on this as I know they have sold them like this in the past.



This is an example of the RGB encoder they were selling with their SGs for people that needed it. Its connected to one of their UberGuns in this pic and provides both Composite and S-video.

You are wrong, Uberia does sell a RGB to NTSC converter for an additional price. It is an external unit, please see:

Edit: d'oh broken beat me to it and he has a better picture too.

Hey thats cool, Ill check it out, thanks!

Don't US TV's have scart sockets on the back of them?If not that is a pity as the best signal that you can use to play games/watch dvd's through is RGB.Is it true that most US TV's only have s-vhs sockets and thats why the conversion to have the s-vhs socket on the back of the AES is such a big deal over there?Is that why you have to buy such an expensive item as the 'encoder' to enable a supergun to be played on an ordianry US TV with only s-vhs and composite connections ?

Also its not strictly true about it being an RGB to NTSC converter? RGB isnt bound by the strictures of PAL or NTSC signals.A PAL 50hz TV will show a signal from an NTSC AES( or snes when going back to the days when importing them to the UK was big business) in full colour as long as it is using an RGB lead and vice versa.Put the same NTSC machine machine straight into an PAL set using either RF,composite av or s-vhs and you will get a black and white signal.The same goes for PAL consoles into an NTSC set

Don't you mean that the box converts the RGB signal into 60hz NTSC 4.4 to allow the use of the supergun through a s-vhs or composite cables for use on an ordinary US TV?

Just enquiring thats all.

Duh, looks like I got owned by two people at the same time, I didn't know such a thing existed... Anyway it's been built by a particular person (unless you think Uberia as a big company) on request, I meant "there's none wide-commercially made"

Still, I don't see the point in using such a thing, I think it would just be easier to have a supergun with the encoder built-in, it saves room and it should be cheaper. If I lived in US I would order a supergun made there.

I'm pretty sure that's a commercial converter and not built by the Uberia guys. There are several "wide-commercially made".

Nope, no USA TV has a scart socket nor they accept true RGB on any form. So this is the reason for all you said in the first paragraph.

God, now I got OWNED 3 times in the same thread! Bravo for ME!

I guess I better quit posting about all this video things as frankly, I have no idea...

Still, how much does that encoder sell for? I STILL think a JROK would be cheaper and take less room...

*Now waits for somebody else to OWN Amano Jacu on this*

Yeah, definitely. I don't know about that converter but this one for instance is very expensive (but perhaps also more sophisticated?):

I've seen this on ebay in the last weeks...nobody buys it , it started at $99, then $79 and now $74... It's probably based on either the Sony CXA1145 (same as the AES) or the CXA1645:

However, an external converter has the advantage that it can be used also with other consoles, etc.

I am using an RGB -> component convertor so I can then put componet into an upscaler for use on a projector.

It is available from HERE and it really is an awesome peice of kit.
I get identical results coming out of this using a Pioneer 737 dvd player as I do from teh pioneers own component outputs.

You can also have a scart switcher that will take 4 inputs from various consoles and one out into the component transcoder so switching consoles is seemless.

They do an excellent RGB -> S convertor too, although not quite as good as the YUV one , it gives a better S-video than I get from the dedicated S-video out on my sat box, which is quite impressive.

Hi,

that external convetor box only outputs a PAL signal (huzzah!) so its useless for U.S customers, so basically we don't sell them any more.

The best bet is JROK inside.

*makes a sticker like the intel one*

That is why the component box is a good choice, no pal/ntsc issues to worry about.

Kernow, maybe worth you asking JS what sort of price they could do you the pcb for out of their RGB->YUV convertor, as I am sure a mingun or ubergun with component out would do quite well.

(pees pants)
Uh, maybe ill just get a NGPC

D'oh looks like i was wrong too.

JROK it is then!
