Can SCART pass thru to component at 1080p - note NOT COMPOSITE
Hi there
question for Video GURUS
can a SCART system (full) pass 1080p Component to a device which has Component IN facilities (note NOT COMPOSITE).
I've googled but nobody seems to have any idea on this. - Note --NOT COMPOSITE which is the three wire system - LH,RH,and Video - but the full 5 wire system.
I'm trying to get full 1080p into a video capture device which has this input. I'm currently using a full HDMI to SCART converter (fully pinned) as the SCART converter strips off the DRM into a DVD video recorder --which works fine but I can only get max resolution of 576p (DVD recording).
The video capture card handles full 1080p so I can skip the record to DVD --> then transfer to computer with MAKEMKV but if I use HDMI directly I run up against DRM issues. SCART removes those but I'm not sure what max resolution is -- . My SCART device that I'm thinking of gettingt has COMPONENT OUT from HDMI in to SCART out but will it work at 1080p. Analog or digital doesn't matter --I just want the video on the computer at the best resolution.
(My Video capture device can capture up to UHD 4K so no problems as far as that piece of hardware is concerned).
For old movies etc 576p isn't too horrible (Old standard DVD system) but I'd like to copy stuff at higher resolution and avoid the whole Copy to DVD recorders' hard disc, then copy to DVD (although that can be performed at high speed so not too long), then use MAKEMKV on computer to create mkv / mp4 file losslessly to keep the video on my computer.
So (it looks complex but isn't)
UHD 4K / HD / 1080p source ---> HDMI splitter ---HDMI-->SCART SCART-->COMPONENT (1080p) -->1080p capture device -->computer
