HDMI to Scart - how does it work?

The conversion from HDMI to Scart is not that easy, as HDMI provides a digital and Scart an analog image signal. In this respect, there are no simple adapter cables such as from HDMI to DVI or from Scart to VGA. The only option is a converter - usually in the form of a small box with appropriate cable connections - but it is not entirely inexpensive.

One of the few manufacturers of this type of converter is "Ligawo". This also has a converter from HDMI to Scart on offer, which is quite simply equipped with a small black plastic housing and the two interfaces. You also need to connect an external power supply. At around 40 euros on Amazon, the device is not exactly cheap, but it does the intended job.

In any case, you should ask yourself whether the purchase really makes sense for you. In the meantime, televisions with digital picture input can be obtained very cheaply, whereas the analog signal is dying out. The 40 euros for the adapter are therefore not always well spent.
