No, they aren't

View the first post in the thread to see. There is one there which will convert component to RGB and goes straight into the scart input, as well as carrying audio...

Luigi:
RGB + Audio stereo to Scart

Gracias Luis, pero yo no entendo español.

If I understand correctly. The cable from the link you provided will input Audio and RGB to a SCART equipped TV for just under 9 euro's.

Is not the Apple TV equipped with Component Video rather the RGB out? If this is the case one would first need a Component to RGB converter and I am sure those don't come cheap.

I have ordered the cable from svideo mentioned in an earlier post. It is supposed to ship the end of this month. Once I have tried it with an AppleTV and Beovision Avant, I will post my comments.

It's an NVIDIA (GeForce Go 7300).

Are you sure it has an ATI chip? I could have sworn it had something from NVidea or something, you could be right though.

The whole HDMI > DVI > Video conversion thing seems a little clumsy, and I fail to see how it would work if the signal coming out the DVI converter was digital, which it must be if connecting through HDMI...

The Apple TV has a ATI X1900 XT video card. So maybe this will work (the $49 solution :

HDMI to DVI adapter

And attach to this:

Apple DVI to video adapter (works with the ATI X1900 XT card):

Too bad it is not shipping yet (the US one... scarts are not usually found here). I'd been holding off buying an appleTV because I didn't want to buy a new TV. Problem solved (eventually).

S-Video is another option, but RGB will give a better picture. Plus the one at the top of the thread allows you to channel the audio down the scart as well.

Just came across this item to convert Component to Composite (s-video).

OK, complete control of AppleTV with Beo4 and Lintronic. No true fast scrolling. Still waiting on that! Not completely intuitive, but all functions work perfectly. For fast scrolling I simply programmed the up and down commands to repeat 10 times. That's about one page at a time.

Next is Beo1 + Lintronic for AppleTV control. I know it'll work, just ran out of time.

On the US Avant you can also use a Zektor HDS4 which is a component video switcher that the BeoSystem 1 has the ability to control. You can select High Def sources for other inputs (ie. Toshiba HD-A1 in DVD, High Def STB in STB, Apple TV in V.Aux maybe?) and BeoSystem 1 will control which input the Zektor box will select as well as the component itself. Of course, you plug all the other connections into the input you are trying to control.

It's a pretty sweet way of using multiple component sources with BeoSystem 1, which is limited to just one.

If Apple TV gets added to the Avant/BeoSystem 1/2 STB-C/CCDB then thats probably how it will have to work.
