Connection question / Display and video
Can I connect RCA (component video) to VGA?
Exact equipment requirements apply.
FromRCA (component video)
ConditionalDocumented use: component-video source → ADP-CV1 → NEC VT37 COMPUTER input.
ToVGA
The answer
Short answer Only into a display whose VGA-style input is documented as accepting component video, using a matching adapter. An ordinary VGA input is not enough.
What you need
The cable or adapter class
- Documented use: component-video source → ADP-CV1 → NEC VT37 COMPUTER input.
Before you buy
What must be true
- Requires the component-capable VT37 input described by the source; another VGA-shaped port is unresolved.
Watch out
Direction and exact products matter
Connectors that fit do not prove a connection works. Check that the exact cable or adapter is documented for RCA (component video) → VGA, and that both devices support what you need.
