RGB-to-Component-Transcoder.

A simple DIY schematic for creating your own RGB video to Component / YUV video.

This schematic does not do any upscaling and was designed to support old CRT TVs that only have component video inputs (not RGB scart like in many european countries) and primarily as way to open up more output options for retro consoles using an external method (rather needing to directly modify the internal hardware).

Acknowledgements to Ace, Zebidee and all variations available on the web that were used as an input to this. Also to retroRGB for most useful resources/info on LM1881 and THS7374 IC.

New versions (including readme, schematic, exported pcb gerber manufacturing files etc) can be found here: https://github.com/dekkit/RGB-to-Component-Transcoder?files=1

Alternatively, if you want to print a PCB directly from authoring tool EasyEDA (or custom it further see: https://easyeda.com/dekkit/rgb-to-component-transcoder)
