Scalable Video Switch YPbPr to RGB Transcoder
The YPbPr to RGB Transcoder Module for the Scalable Video Switch (SVS) converts Component Video signals (YPbPr) directly into RGBS or RGBHV – ideal for integrating Component-output consoles into an RGB setup.
- Converts YPbPr (Component) to RGBS and RGBHV
- Only one module per SVS needed – no matter how many inputs
- Supports resolutions from 240p up to 1080p
- Automatic Rec. 601/709 colour matrix switching
- Per-input memory: remembers convert or pass-through per input
YPbPr to RGB Transcoder Module – Bridging Component Video and RGB
Got a solid RGB setup running on the Scalable Video Switch, but some of your consoles only output Component Video (YPbPr)? That's exactly what this module is for. It sits on the output side of your SVS stack and cleanly converts YPbPr signals into RGBS or RGBHV – keeping your setup consistent no matter what's plugged in at the source end.
Typical use cases: you want to run a PlayStation 2 via Component into your SCART-RGB setup, or use a Wii, Xbox, or GameCube alongside SCART consoles on an RGB monitor or scaler – no problem. The module handles the conversion transparently in the background.
How it Works in the SVS Stack
The module is placed on the output side of the SVS stack. Any output modules positioned after the transcoder in the stack benefit from the conversion. Modules placed before it pass the signal in its native format – giving you full control over which outputs get converted and which don't.
Best of all: you only need one single transcoder module per Scalable Video Switch, regardless of how many YPbPr sources you want to integrate. Saves money and keeps the stack tidy.
Features at a Glance
- Signal Conversion: YPbPr (Component Video) → RGBS and RGBHV
- Resolution Support: 240p up to 1080p
- Automatic Colour Matrix: Rec. 601 for SD resolutions, Rec. 709 for HD – switched automatically depending on input signal
- Per-Input Settings: The module individually remembers for each SVS input whether to convert or pass through the signal
- Seamless Integration: One module covers all inputs of the SVS
Who Is This Module For?
Anyone running a mixed setup of RGB and Component sources who wants to feed everything through a single switch into a unified RGB signal. Especially useful if your monitor or scaler (e.g. OSSC, RetroTink) only accepts RGB, but you're using consoles like PS2, Wii, GameCube or Xbox with Component cables.
Important: This module is exclusively designed for the Scalable Video Switch (SVS) and cannot be used standalone.
