Shinybow SCART-RGB to HDTV Component Video 5-RCA with Audio Converter Transcoder

Description

Shinybow SCART-RGB to HDTV Component Video with Audio Converter SB-2840
The SB-2840 is one of the most innovative converters for switching SCART (RGB/Stereo Audio) to YUV Component Video (YPBPR/ YCBCR)/Stereo Audio Signals. This product provides high resolution HDTV quality output which is able to detect the source and output for the corresponding video signal. It is ideal for distributing signals from SCART-RGB DVD or High resolution SCART-RGB Video sources to HDTV displays at high resolutions.
Features:
SCART to SDTV Component Video/ Audio Converter
Supports Component Y/Pb/Pr, Y/CbCr, 1Vpp/75?, Stereo Audio (AR/AL)
YUV output for SDTV 480i (13.5MHz), 480p (27MHz)
Application:
For retro gamers outside of Europe, getting a great RGB setup takes quite a bit more effort.
American CRT TVs unfortunately lack SCART RGB inputs that enable the highest possible quality output from retro gaming systems such as the Super Nintendo to the Playstation 1.
It's now possible to convert an RGB signal to Component with a handy device called an RGB to Component transcoder (or sometimes SCART to Component converter, or RGB to YUV converter). The transcoders are entirely analog devices, and can convert an RGB signal in real-time to Component with zero latency and minimal quality loss.
If you know of Shinybow, you know their name means quality. They produce professional-level video products. Unlike the cheap Chinese knockoffs, Shinybow is made of high-grade components. Build quality wise, the Shinybow converter puts the knockoffs to shame. The Shinybow unit is solidly built, and feels durable and strong. All ports are tight and sturdy with no give, consistent with pro-grade gear. In addition to the build quality, it also features built-in mounting brackets on the frame to help easily manage your setup.
The most convenient feature of the Shinybow SB-2840 is that no color calibration is required. With the CSY clones you will have to open the device and twist some knobs with a screwdriver in an attempt to balance the picture. When hooking up the Shinybow converter, you get a brighter and vivid the picture with bold colors and pure whites. It also features a built-in audio port with high quality jacks, preventing distortion.
Compatibility-wise, the SB-2840 should work with any sync and resolution you throw at it. It supports 240p, 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080p resolutions. One thing to keep in mind is that the analog transcoding is only converting the colorspace, not changing the input resolution. If you input 240p resolution, 240p resolution is what will come out.
NOTE: Make sure to use a proper Component video cable. Regular Composite A/V cables (the one with yellow, red, and white leads) are not meant for Component signal. The audio leads on composite cables are only rated at 35 ohm, not the standard 75 ohm required for video. Having the wrong resistance cables can lead to interference and other artifacts, so make sure you are using a quality set of shielded Component cables with the transcoder.
