Can an Amiga display HDTV resolutions and out put to component video?

[aardvark]

This is a 2 parter.
1.  I have one of those 16x9 ntsc crt televisions that ,although it doesn't have a(n?) HDTV tuner built into it, is capable of showing scan-doubled progressive scan type DVDs in what I presume is HDTV type resolution.  Can the Amiga output this kind of a resolution?

2.  Can the signal coming off the 23 pin video output be easily split into the RGB component video that these tvs require and are produced by almost every stand alone dvd player around (although not all of the out put progressive scan)?   :-?

Okay 3 then.  What would the pin-outs be on both ends?

   Yep, other end of Canada just north of Montana.
I had an RGB cable made up locally for an older XBR 25 inch Sony that had RGB inputs.  Works, but I would have had a better deal buying a 6 foot (2m) cable from Redmond Cable.  Mine is 12 foot (4m) though.
My DVD player manual says its component output is YPrPb and you can pick between 525P(480P) and 525I(480I).
The TV manual says either 480p or 1080i formats are automatically selected according to the input signal.  So my guess is that I'm seeing the 525P(480P) signal.  (wonder what a 1080i signal would look like.  I am so impressed with the quality of my picture as it is) Component input is also YPrPb.

NTSC standard is525 lines interlaced @ 60 Hz
PAL standard is 625 lines interlaced @ 50 HZ
Which means PAL = sharper picture+more flicker

refer to this website and they will back me up that it is HDTV. Damn pdf files, can't cut and paste the definition of HDTV, but it _specifically_ refers to 16:9 ratio and doble the resolution vertically and horizontally.  If I wanted a tuner for HDTV, I could buy one from the cable company for ~800$Canadian, around 600$US still too expensive for me just yet.  And yes it inputs via component video.

  Scart is non-existant in North America, never saw an input for it or a cable either.

I think that governments in Europe mandated that the companies making TV/video monitors had to have Scart connectors, but in the US companies hate to be told to do anything by the government  :-)

Might have something to do with the lower resolutions of NTSC monitors. RGB connectors on expensive TVs disappeared after S-video conectors came out. My XBR Sony has RGB but no S-video :-(  

The transcoder solution looks like it would work with 4000, 3000, and maybe 1200s, but not a CDTV,600 or 500.  You can get VGA boards for the 2000, so that would work.
