Where can I find a schematic for a DIY component to VGA adapter?

In summary, the conversation discusses the search for a schematic for a component to VGA adapter in order to use a PS3 on a monitor. The possibility of creating one is considered, but the monitor's compatibility with YPbPr or RGB and the adapter's high cost are mentioned as potential roadblocks.

Component to VGA schematic??

Anyone know where i can find a schematic for a component to VGA adapter? A friend is looking to make one so he can use his ps3 on his monitor but says most of the store bought ones are quite expensive and have lots of extra features. We are both engineering majors so making one seems logical. He has done a bit of research but wasnt able to find a simple component to vga diagram.

Does the monitor support YPbPr? Or can the PS3 be set to output RGB and does the monitor support synch-on-green and HDTV resolutions? If so, then it's a simple matter of connecting Y to green, Pr to red, Pb to blue, and ground to ground.

Otherwise, you're out of luck. RGB and YPbPr are different color spaces. There is a reason those adapters are expensive.
 

1. What is a component to VGA schematic?

A component to VGA schematic is a diagram or plan that shows the connections and interactions between the component video signal and the VGA (Video Graphics Array) signal. It outlines the electrical connections and components needed to convert a component video signal to a VGA signal.

2. How does a component to VGA schematic work?

A component to VGA schematic works by converting the analog component video signal to a digital VGA signal. This is achieved through the use of various electronic components such as amplifiers, resistors, and capacitors. The schematic provides a step-by-step guide for the conversion process.

3. What components are needed for a component to VGA conversion?

The specific components needed for a component to VGA conversion may vary depending on the specific schematic being used. However, some common components that may be required include resistors, capacitors, amplifiers, transistors, and a video encoder chip.

4. Can a component to VGA schematic be used to convert other video signals?

Yes, a component to VGA schematic can be modified or adapted to convert other video signals such as composite video, S-video, or HDMI. However, the specific components and connections may need to be adjusted accordingly.

5. Is a component to VGA conversion reversible?

Yes, a component to VGA conversion is reversible. The original component video signal can be restored by removing the components and connections added for the conversion process. However, it is important to carefully follow the schematic and make proper connections to ensure the reversal is successful.
