Why not Amiga RGB to Component?

[everblue]

Today I was wondering why no one makes and sells component cables for old computers and consoles that output RGB. Wouldn't these be ideal to use in an age when CRT are a dead breed and LCD TVs are more common? An extra bonus would be that US TVs do not have RGB Scart cables but they DO have component.

Does this make sense, or am I missing something really, really obvious?

I am assuming that RGB on component* is the same RGB found on SCART. Same with the audio.

*I am aware that component connection can handle progressive resolutions.

Component is not RGB but YPbPr which is (Luminance, Red-Luminance, Blue-Luminance), so some active analog electronics are needed to convert the image. You can buy devices to do the conversion, but they are not that cheap, and the quality is not always that good if you go for the cheaper solutions.

Today it makes more sense to buy Scart to HDMI converters, which are in the same price range but have better quality.

Oh I thought something was not that straight forward. I was fooled by th fact that component cables are red green and blue in colour.
