Been looking around for some kind of decent HDMI to SCART (RGB output) and while there several cheap ones available for around 15-26 Euro range from the same manufacturers which produce the SCART to HDMI converters which only makes use of the SCART CVBS instead SCART RGB - I would like to reach out if anyone here has a suggestion for a decent converter/scaler?

Suggestion for HDMI to RGB SCART (not CVBS SCART)?

Well, it might be
Out of curiosity, what do you need it for, perhaps there is another way?
Hey Kim, I explored this exact scenario a couple of years ago as a way of extending the life of my SCART only B&O gear. The generic HDMI to composite/svideo adapters are universally average due to the limitations of the low res signal.
I highly recommend one of these
I'll try that out as well to connect the Beosystem 3 to my old avant. Sounds like a good solution! Thanks!
Do you know if on the B&O TV it automatically adjusts the screen to 16:9? - I've been using one of the cheaper ones for my BV6 in the bedroom - resolution is not good with Apple TV for text, but okish on a small screen for movies. Problem is that everytime I switch it on I have to then select Format 3 - tried all settings in the setup on both the TV and Apple TV but still end up having to manually switching to Format 3.

May I ask how exactly you generate the 15khz signal from a video processing engine? Kai

A solution to that may be a Beo5/6 which can adjust the format automatically based on source selection on top of controlling the Apple TV and the Beovision.

You'll need something that sets pin 8 of the SCART to 6V (actually 4.5 - 7V) - this should automatically set the TV to 16:9.
(EDIT: It may already be trying to do this, but will only work if your SCART lead is fully wired, i.e all pins connected - have you checked?)
