Title: Progressive Scan SCART to VGA?
Post by: fastson on October 24, 2003, 03:27:47 PM: Is it possible to make a cable that you connect from a SCART to a regular VGA cable? Would it work?

Take 7 (Blue), 11 (Green), 15 (Red), 18 (Ground) and 20 (V-Sync) from the SCART and plug them into 1 (Red), 2 (Green), 3 (Blue), 5 (Ground) and 14 (V-Sync) on the VGA...

..and get Progressive Scan on the monitor? Or do you need something more "in-between" the SCART and VGA?

Will do kapten.

##RaCeR##: You connected it directly to the monitor or via the computer?
Maybe your monitor has ports for a RGB cable?

Yeah I saw one.. Price 1200 + 800 for a component cable (Monster Cable was the only one I could find), that adds upp to 2000+ ($260) :(

If I could get the blueprint for that converter maybe I could see how its made.. I want to know if I need to "upscan" the signal or not. Anyone know if Progressive Scan is 15kHz or 30kHz?
