Although this probably belongs in Hardware, or even on a whole different forum (which I may cross-post soon), I figured I was going looney travelling the never-ending rabbit hole, so this seemed more appropriate for the initial post.
Many years ago, I built a MAME cab. Every so often, I build a new machine for my primary needs, and the old machine gets moved into the MAME cab. The video output in the cabinet is a Sharp 27SC26B CRT TV that accepts component, s-video, and composite.
Here is my current configuration for the cabinet PC: 12+ year old machine running Vista. The video card is a Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850, which has an s-video out that I am using to connect to the TV. The current configuration is outputting 800x600 PC resolution to 480i via drivers.
Every 5 to 8 years, I build a new machine for my current office/gaming needs, and move the older machine down to the arcade. I figure I still have at least a couple more years before I begin a new build, but have been looking into options on how to get my current machine to output to the TV.
My current machine has the following configuration:
OS: Windows 10
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H – expansion slots are PCI Express x16
Video: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 Windforce (PCI Express 3.0) – output HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-I, and DVI-D.
I’m looking for a way to convert HDMI or DVI (800x600 resolution if possible) to either S-Video or Component to a TV that accepts 480i (4:3 ratio).
One solution would be to find a video card that has those outputs, but it would need to fit into a PCI Express slot and have driver support for Windows 10. Another option is to find a converter to down convert from a 4:3 ratio (800x600 or 1024x768) to 480i.
Any ideas or suggestions?
