SCART CONNECTOR PINOUT Table 1

Table 1 was the original and allows for composite video input/output, RGB inputs and stereo audio. Table 2 was added to take S-video (S-VHS and Hi-8) inputs. This made pin 15 chrominance and pin 20 luminance.



Many TV sets have 2 SCART sockets. One is usually loke table 1 and the other like table 2, and 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.
