Hi to all,
Hi Alex KL-1,

Your question is interesting !
As a person used to coping with another weird color TV system (SECAM), i sympathise with you being constrained by the Brazilian PAL-M.

HDMI to component converter, (Y/Pr/Pb or RGB)
Don't know where you buy from, but saw these on Amazon USA:

or this one:
https://www.amazon.com/EASYCEL-Compo...%2C218&sr=8-15

Apparently, none of these resize 16:9 to 4:3, so a scaler will also be required.
The Hall VHD-180 quoted by User181 (Thanks!) :

Component to PAL-M:
i understand you will build an encoder yourself.
BTW, what encoder IC are you planning on using; a Philips TDAxxx?

A second hand Broadcast encoder (RGB/YUV) would probably have PAL-M & N encoding, but is bulky (19" rack size, 1 or 2 Units height) + difficult to repair if it stops working. Look at brands like Snell & Wilcox (UK).
