New Genny! Need some 'RGB Scart to Component' advice/recommendations

[BARBEERIAN]

I scored a sweet pair of Genny's yesterday, a Model 1 HDG! and another Model 1 that isn't the crappy sound one. I want to play them with proper video since composite sucks ass. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure RGB Scart to a Component converter would be the ideal choice for video quality and requires no modding as well. Assuming that's correct, anyone know of any good ones? I checked ebay and found a few but I'm unsure how good their output quality is compared to eachother. I mostly just want to avoid buying one that maybe is known to look like ass compared to others.

Great, thanks!

It's pretty nice. Most essential is checking your TV's component input accepts raw Genesis graphics mode. This flavor of encoder box converter RGB directly into component. For better or worse.

240p in will remain 240p out. 60hz stays 60hz. Etc. It will not upscale, adjust aspect ratio, let old American CRTs use PAL consoles... Good thing is having little to no controls/settings to mess with either.

This. It works great with SD CRT TVs.

Also, this box is easy to add an audio pass thru since SCART carries it in, but RGB does not carry it back out. . I just punched a hole next to the SCART connector and used a headphone DIN connection there. You can also remove the power light and put it there, but I wanted my light. :-)

Yup, that's the same one I use. It works fine on my Samsung LCD. I highly recommend it.

The right selector box is also VERY helpful. Numerous things from Super Gameboy to Neo Geo can use it.

Alternatively you can get a SCART to HDMI converter which makes the audio issue a lot easier since both SCART and HDMI carry audio you won't need to mess around with an additional audio cable.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I have a few related question now (trying to figure out if my TV will do 240p). Does the Genny RF cable output as 240p or does it get modified (scaled or w/e) before it's sent out? Reason I ask is that I can't find any info on whether or not my TV supports 240p via component, but I do know that my new Genny works fine via RF. I'm pretty sure both RF and component get handled by my TV's analog tuner as opposed to the digital tuner. I figure if the RF from Genny is 240p then I should be ok with the straight up converter a few people have recommended. If it's not I guess that means I should find something that scales up to my TV's native res.
