I am not sure which brand of scan converter you
have but the Avermedia ones allready have RGB out
via HD15 conector on the scan converter.

I noticed at work some scan converters for repair that had Scart RGB
output on them and wondered if that would work with an
arcade monitor, it does!. It is the first time I have
seen the bios boot up on my arcade monitor. I used
two differnt models of the AVerkey the AVerkey3+ and
the AVerkey500. Both are the same except that the AVerkey500 has sharpness control and more inputs and
outputs. The picture on both looked the same except the 500 with the 2 levels of sharpness made the picture a bit clearer one the first level the second level made
the picture clearer but with flicker ( the same as monarc in 640x480 mode).
The only bad thing is that
the screen was cut off at the top I am using the PAL
version which has 625 lines on an arcade monitor which
is NTSC 525 lines, maybe a NTSC version of the AVerkey
would fit the whole screen in? Also one other minor
thing is that the power does not come on automatically
so if you were to put this in a cab you would have to
power this up sepatate.
The Scart RGB out on the unit is a HD15 female so it is
very easy to hook up the the Jamma harness. I have not
got any more info on these units as I just have the unit itself no manual of remote control etc. But there
is a web site, I don't know how much they cost either.
Has anyone else done this?
