Component video is carried on three wires, normally referred to as YUV or Y, Pb, Pr. The Y component carries the luminance information - the brightness. The other two carry color information.

Connecting a component signal to a composite input will be difficult as composite uses a single connector that carries brightness and color signals on the same wire. If you connect the Y of the component signal to the composite input, you will see a monochrome image.

With a very, very few exceptions, analog component video is limited to standard resolution, so the highest will be 480 line (North American) or 576 line (European). Composite connections handle only standard definition and there is no composite standard for HD video.

How would you connect a PlayStation to a 3D projector which only has VGA and composite input?

Playstations all have a composite output, whether it is a PS1, PS2 or PS3. You will only get a standard definition display with this interface but unfortunately, there is no direct way to use other outputs. The PS3 has an optional component video cable which is capable of 1080p resolution. Most projectors are supplied with a component/VGA adapter that uses the VGA input port but accepts composite signals. Depending on the resolution of the LCD panel, you may only be able to use a 720p resolution with this projector. By obtaining an HDMI to VGA converter or an analog HD component to VGA converter you will be able to obtain a higher resolution up to 1080 line if your projector supports that resolution. You will not be able to use the 3D Blu-Ray features of the PS3 with this projector, as the PS3 requires an HDMI connection for this.
