SCART information
To use a SCART adapter, connect your audio/video cables to the SCART adapter, then connect the
adapter to your TV or video recorder. Depending on the type of SCART adapter you’re using, you
may need
male-to-male adapters to attach your audio/video cables to it. For more information on
connecting to a TV or video recorder, see “Quick connection setup”, steps 2–4.
Some video devices in Europe only have
SCART connectors. This type of
connector includes video
and audio,
whereas composite or S-video connectors
include only video.
If your TV or video recorder
only has a
SCART connector, you need a SCART
cable adapter to connect to Matrox
Marvel. If you don’t already have a
SCART adapter, you should be able to
purchase one from your local electronics
store.
„ To connect your TV or video recorder
to Matrox
output or input , you need a
SCART adapter with
3 connectors –
2 audio and 1 video.
„ To connect your video recorder to
both Matrox
input and output ,
instead you need a SCART adapter
with
6 connectors – 2 audio inputs,
1 video input, 2 audio outputs,
1 video output.
„ There are different SCART adapters
for composite and S-video. If you’re
not sure which your TV or video
recorder supports, see its manual. If
your TV or video recorder uses
S-video, the video connectors on your
SCART adapter should be for S-video
cables instead of composite (RCA)
video cables.
