S video on scart - how it works

You can easily connect a device with an output for S-Video to a television with Scart input. This practical tip shows you how S-Video is possible on Scart.

S-Video to Scart: adapter makes it possible

• A simple adapter is sufficient for the project. Depending on the quality, the devices cost between 2 and 6 euros.
• The following S-Video to Scart adapter only costs 1.90 euros. The probably more reliable adapter from Hama costs 6 euros.
• Due to the different standards, problems with the adapter can sometimes occur. Some TVs cannot process the S-Video signal via the Scart connection.
• If your TV has two Scart connections, chances are very good that S-Video will be accepted on one connection. Devices with only one connection are more likely to cause problems in this regard. Ultimately, just a look at the operating instructions will help or you can simply try it out.
