The SCART Interface
The Scart (Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiore cepteurs et Te le viseurs) connector
is used for combined audio and video connections.
The connector is also known as Pertitel connector or Euroconnector.

The Scart is a twenty one pin connector plug developed by the European community and
found on the back of most European televisions and video players. It is used in most of the
consumer video equipments like VCRs, TVs and DVD players to hand the audio and video
connections all using some connector. SCART connector supports stereo audio, composite
video, S-video, RGB and some control signals. SCART connector can use to carry many
signal formats, but it can't carry all of them at the same time. Note that not all SCART
connections in all equipment are equivalent, connectors on other equipments might support
more signal format than others. Composite video and audio are practically always supported,
but there are lots of equipments that do not support RGB or S-video. For example some TVs
support RGB on one SCART and S-video on other SCART (in addition to standard composite
video format). The supported RGB signal format is RGBS (R, G, B and composite sync).
Arrangement 1 was the original and allows for composite video input/output, RGB inputs and
stereo audio.
Arrangement 2 was added to take S-Video (S-VHS and Hi-8) inputs. This made pin 15
chrominance and pin 20 luminance.
A recent addition is a ternary level on pin 8 to signal a VCR in wide-screen mode.
Most new TV sets have 2 SCART sockets on their rear. One is usually to arrangement 1 and
the other to arrangement 2, but with pin 20 switchable from composite to S-Video luminance.
The first can switch from a composite input to RGB input. The second can switch from a
composite input to an S-Video input, pin 20 being either composite in or luminance in. Usually
the second socket outputs a selectable composite signal on pin 19. That is selectable from
off-air, SCART 1, and if they exist front mounted input sockets for a camcorder.
