Many computers have scan convertors right on the video card.
All new computers we purchased in 1998-1999 have a video card equipped with a scan convertor. The only other piece of equipment you will need is a RCA cable. RCA cables are used to connect a number of home entertainment components including VCR's, audio compact disc players, speakers, cassette tape players, and home stereos.
