Yes, you need what is called a scan convertor.
Buy a higher quality one of you can afford it.

I used one on the video-conferencing system I set up between
Guys and St. Thomas' hospitals - what these days would be referred
to as an access grid.
The video codecs at each end took in a composite or an S-video feed.
I had a Kramer video matrix switcher, which switched between 
a camera on top of the large TV monitor, a room based camera,
a document camera (for X-rays)  and finally a scan convertor which
was used to hook up a PC for Powerpoint presentations.
