hi all - does anyone know of a converter which can input component (RGB) video and output RCA...? loss of signal quality does not matter as this is for a small 576i PiP box on my TV screen - the TV can only use coaxial or RCA as an input for the second picture (yay).

basically like this device here:
https://sewelldirect.com/component-ypbpr-rgb-rca-to-composite-yellow-rca-and-s-video-converter-w-down-scaler?source=froogle&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=cse&cvsfa=1306&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=53572d3232333039

unfortunately they don't ship outside US :(

any help much appreciated :)

I think you mean Component to Composite. RCA is the type of plug/socket. ;-)

I think Jaycar have one or two options, or at least I'm sure they used to.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

thanks for reply - i checked there but i'm pretty sure they only have component to HDMI and then HDMI to composite via separate converters... would basically cost 300 + total, cheaper to buy a separate small monitor for the component signal lol.

Component and RGB are not the same either (generally). Component (yPbPr) from an AV device like a DVD player, RGB from a computer video card. Make sure whatever converter you get has the right input for your source.

Pretty sure they used to have kits that did the job. I guess they don't carry them anymore. Perhaps try one of the Chinese suppliers like Aliexpress etc?
