MCE PC, connecting to my setup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I will be getting a MCE PC in the very near future.

I currently have a CRT TV and a projector in my front room.

They are both connected to a Denon A/V Amp.

The TV is connected to the amp via via S-Video

The Projector is connected by Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr)

I have a DVD player connected to the amp with component video (progressive scan)

What I am puzzled about is, how will I connect my new MCE PC up to this setup, retaining the best quality?

Would I need to purchase a RGB -> Component video (Y/Pb/Pr) converter box like this?

Or is there a better way, maybe a video card that will output Y/Pb/Pr and S-Video?

My projector is a Sony VPL-VW12HT
This supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i and has a 1366x768 native resolution, if that makes any difference.

I really need the setup to display on the TV AND the projector without having to mess about with changing resolutions on the MCE PC.

Thanks for any pointers!

Sparks...
