I have a Sky+ connected to a Sony 100 Mhz 32" tv
via a
Denon AV amp.
The
Denon can output video signal on 1)component video (best quality),
2)S-Video,
3)Composite
I have the S-Video output from the Denon feeding
the
Sony via a S-Video-to-Scart cable.
This works fine and gives me pretty good picture
quality.
I also have an Avermedia TV-PC
capture
card.
This card has RF,
Composite,
and S-Video inputs.
Here
I
have a cable which has S-Video & phono stereo at one end and scart at
the
other. The scart is connected to the scart out from Sky+ (as the S-video
out of
the Sky+ box is feeding the Denon with sound output via the optical
out).
I
only
get a B&W picture on my pc card (the RF on the same card shows full
colour). I think this is to do with
RGB/scart to S-Video matching issues. Not really
sure!
I would like to
be
able to display output from the Sky+ to my pc not only to watch, but
to
also allow me to to move (record) stuff already recorded on Sky+ to my pc
for
archive
etc.
Do I need to buy a proper active RGB
to
S-Video converter - like the one on the rgbtosvideo.com for £65 ?
If I buy a scart to composite cable, will I have
the
same problem? - I know the picture quality is likely to be not as
good with composite. But how much worse ?
While on the
subject:
So what is a
"S-Video capable" scart input? I presume the one on the Sony TV as the
output
>from
colour.
Thanks in
advance.
