I’ve been looking around for a while for a device to record footage off the ps3, and found this, http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html ,which I realise has already been discussed in this forum. The PVR has to be placed between the ps3 and monitor and has component in and out, for up to 1080i recording.
Would it be possible to output the HD signal from PVR by using component to VGA cable into a monitor? Rather than simply component to component connection to a TV.

Any advice would be great as it is quite and expensive purchase:)
 
I can't say for sure that it'll do what you want it to, but in regards to the component to VGA cable, they make one so I'd assume it'd do the job:

This is the exact recording device I use and you won't regret buying it 👍

As for the question you ask, I don't see any problems with using the Component to VGA cable, after all that's what the cable is designed for.

I know it's a daft question but have you searched the internet for answers? or have you even thought of contacting Hauppauge via email Here to ask them the question directly?
 
Um, if one actually reads the page for the cable:

web page describing component-to-VGA cable
IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPONENT VIDEO SOURCES TO A REGULAR COMPUTER MONITOR OR HDTV unless you monitor specifically has this capability. Most do not. (Please check the documentation for your computer monitor)

THIS CABLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER'S VGA PORT TO THE COMPONENET INPUT ON YOUR HDTV unless your video card supports component out function through it's VGA port (please confirm with your video cards documentation before purchasing)
Click to expand...

This cable doesn't magically convert component to regular VGA. Your monitor has to be able to receive component signals on its VGA port. Apparently a very few monitors are capable of this, but it's by no means a given. Same for the other direction. It's not going to send a computer's VGA into a TV's componoent inputs; the PC would actually have to be able to send component signals out of its VGA port.
