is there a way to convert component video into 5 RGB BNC's? i have a monitor with 5 BNC inputs (RGB + H + V). it would be nice to use this rather than s-video. from what i understand, component is exactly what i have, but the H and V signal is combined in the green. anyone know of even a box that can convert this?
From my understanding component video consists of YPbPr, Y being luminence, Pb being red minus luminence, and Pr being blue minus luminence. Your monitor is expecting straight RGB values, so I'm sure at a minimum you're going to need some sort of electronics. I'm not sure how sync information is recorded in YPbPr, but never the less you're going to need probably an external box to convert the signal.
you are talking about s-video (split video, splits out the luminance). component is actually just RGB with the vertical and horizontal signals fed into the greed. pB (blue), pR (red), and the other gets labeled all sorts of wierd things, but its green. that cable seems like it COULD work. dont know if it goes the right way though 🙂

there is some good info. Component output is available for Xboxes, and someone on that site figured out a cheap way to convert it to VGA.
