I suspect that if this produced acceptable output, then cheap composite-to-component converters would be commonplace.
There's just not enough demand for it. It's easier to have a coax to rgb converter since there's a ton of electronics that used coax. A compositve adapter would be too niche.
Have you actually seen this in action?
I'm not sure about the quality, but since these are typically used in security camera installations, it can't be terrible.
Security cameras tend to have very different requirements than a console gamer with an HDTV.
