Question:
I have done a lot of searching but have not found any reasonable answers. I am assuming the cheapest way would be to get a scart to composite lead but I have yet to find one. Do they exist?
The only other option is to go the RGB conversion route but this is not something I want to do unless it is the only alternative.
Can anybody please help?
yep - I used one of these and a composie lead to go with it

Thanks Andrew, :thumbs: thats exactly what I need. Just needed confirmation that it has worked for somebody before I took the plunge.
I managed to get an RGB signal from my ON Digital box into the VGA port on the back of the Panasonic AE100 as follows:
Connect SCART Red to VGA Red, Blue to Blue and Composite Video to Green. Then adjust the colour balance in the picture menu on the projector ( r, g and b are individually adjustable for PC signals ). The composite signal provides a sync. for the 625 line interlaced signal which the projector responds to. The green is a bit high because the green element of a composite signal is stronger than the red and blue ( from memory ).
I was getting some diagnonal lines appearing in areas of solid colour but this could be due to the fact I was just poking around with some unshielded wire - I'm going to try and make up a proper lead over the next week or so and see what that's like.
