Hi.

I'm guessing someone here might have some ideas on how to go about this.

My TV does not seem to be able to split the Y and C signals from the
composite input pin on the SCART connector. I get a black&white picture.
However, my VCR does output a proper, colour picture to the set. I'm
guessing that the VCR outputs RGB signals, and the TV is using those.

So, I've been wondering about the feasibility of making a converter from
composite video to RGB. I have not found such a circuit online, but I have
found an IC that should be perfect - the MC44011. The problem, of course,
is that it's been discontinued for a long time and I haven't found a
supplier with a stock willing to sell me only 2-3 of them. I'd like it if
someone could either help me get in touch with a supplier that can do
this, or point me to other ICs that would be suitable. Being controllable
from a micro is a big plus, as well as minimal external component count.

Thanks,
David
