Studying the schematic for educational purposes

I've been studying the schematic for the A520HD to better understand the process of converting RGB to YPbPr. I believe that I've come to understand how it works, but my new question is how the designer found appropriate values for the resistors.

From Wikipedia: Y = 0.2126 R + 0.7152 G + 0.0722 B
or as a ratio,
0.2126
0.7152
0.0722

A520 HD works with some displays not others

Hi, I have an A520HD that I'm using with an Amiga 500. When I have it connected to an older Mitsubishi Projection TV it works fine but when I connect it to newer devices the displays never detect the signal.

I'm using an NTSC Amiga and every display and receiver that I've tried supports 60Hz as a refresh rate. I've tried an RCA TV, a Yamaha receiver, and a component to HDMI converter, all with no luck. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to make it work with the newer devices?

Thank you!
