Hi everyone!
I am new to this community and hope to be able to pull on some of your experience as I try to develop an idea out into something which functions!
I want to build a project which will be able to accept the following inputs:
And the output will be HDMI & RCA / Optical audio.
Please see this very rough block flow diagram of what I want to build.
At this stage my idea is very high level - and I am trying to source the appropriate main components to help me fit this block diagram together!
Block 2 - This needs to be something which can accept all the various inputs - the NJY2025 accepts all but scart....would be ideal if I can find something which can accept scart -- can anyone help me here? Any other ideas?
Block 3 - Many LCD controller boards don't do a great job at handling the older inputs - if anybody knows of some kind of 'tidy all in one chip' which can take in a stream of video / or audio, and upscale / tidy / do various types of processing on the image to improve it, I would love to hear about it!
Block 4 - What comes out of the LCD controller board is LVDS, this needs to be turned back into an HDMI or DVI signal before being sent onto the display over a normal HDMI cable -- I cannot seem to find a source to purchase the CH7036 anywhere, and have written to chrontel with no response. I hope there are potentially more or better options here but I am struggling to find them - please help!
Block 5 - This needs to be ideally an IC which can accept the stereo / mono audio from the various inputs above and then 'tidy' and 'digitize' it for output over a toslink, and also just hand it straight over back to RCA for normal stereo audio.
I appreciate there is more than a single simple question here - but I have broken it down into the 5 main areas where I am looking for a bit of support. I may also be looking at this problem the wrong way around - if there is something obvious which I am missing, please also highlight it! I may have overlooked something which may make my life a lot easier (giving up is never an option!)
Anyone than comes across this post - I would love if you could simply weigh in with whatever advice, and knowledge you have in the areas of concern. If you are wondering what I am actually trying to do, I don't want to give the game away - but I essentially want to pull in old signals, tidy them, and output them in a standard format. Sure it has been done before - but I want to learn and do it my way
Please leave any and all advice I could really do with it!
Many thanks in advance.

I want to build a project which will be able to accept the following inputs:
- Composite video
- RCA audio
- Scart Composite & RGB video + stereo audio
- S-Video
- RF video & Audio
And the output will be HDMI & RCA / Optical audio.
