 Do all Scart cables work in both directions?

The Scart to Scart cables that Clearly AV sell are all “fully wired” unless specifically stated otherwise. These cables will work in both directions.

Scart breakout cables like the ‘scart to phono’ or ‘scart to s-video’ are generally designed with the signal direction being from the breakout connectors to the scart connector.

 Which pins are used on a scart cable.

The wiring convention for a fully wired scart cable is as follows. Please bear in mind that not all scart cables are fully connected and scart cables wired with other types of connectors on one end will only have the neccessary pins connected.

Pin 1. Audio out right
Pin 8.
Pin 15. Red / C chrominance
Pin 2. Audio in right
Pin 9. Green ground
Pin 16.
Pin 3. Audio left out
Pin 10.
Pin 17. Video ground / Y luminance ground/Sync ground
Pin 4. Audio ground
Pin 11. Green
Pin 18.
Pin 5. Blue ground
Pin 12.
Pin 19. Video out /Y luminance out/Sync out
Pin 6. Audio in left
Pin 13. Red ground / C chrominance ground
Pin 20. Video in/Y luminance in/Sync in
Pin 7. Blue

As you can see from the table above the pins have different uses depending on whether the video signal is composite video, s-video (YC) or RGB video.
