SCART connector information
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 VCR only has a SCART connector, you need a SCART cable adapter to connect to
Rainbow Runner G-Series. If you don’t already have a SCART adapter, you should be able to
purchase one from your local electronics store.
 To connect your VCR to both Matrox
input and output
*
, 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 VCR supports, see its
manual. If your TV or VCR uses S-video,
the video connectors on your SCART
adapter should be for S-video cables
instead of composite (RCA) video cables.
To use a SCART adapter, connect your audio
and video cables to the SCART adapter, then
connect the adapter to your TV or VCR.
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 VCR, see “Quick connection setup”,
steps 1–4.
