Scart > HDMI
Hi,
Hope someone can help as Google hasn't! I'm looking for a scart to hdmi cable. I can see Wii ones but have presumed they won't work? Can anyone point me to a fully connected scart to hdmi cable please? thanks, Jeff |

SCART is an analogue system and HDMI is a digital system. They cannot be connected directly together.
You need a converter, like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scart-HDMI-1...301322&sr=8-12 |

you need a convertor like that. what exactly is it you want to do? play scart on an hdmi device, or play hdmi on a scart device, in which case the below is what you need http://www.amazon.co.uk/Engiveaway%C...dp/B008CUESPI/ |

Thanks for the replies very much appreciated.
However, I'm sorry but to say you cannot buy a scart to HDMI connector isn't true. To say it isn't possible .... is suprising ... because I'm already doing it with the cable supplied with the TV. My panasonic TX-L32E5B TV came with a scart cable with a "socket" at one end ie you plug the scart cable into it - and an HDMI plug at the other end. So my my traveling Sky digibox box (nonHD) plugs into it. I simply want to connect my aging Hummy into another HDMI socket without buying an expensive box. It isn't digital quality but it does the job. The instruction manual on page 7 and page 12 shows the cable Anyway ..... I've found it --- £12.99 plus delivery. To be honest I'm suprised that all of the responses have said "no can do" but pleased to add to the knowledge base ..... ![]() Thanks anyway .... appreciate the trouble. |

But that is not a HDMI to SCART adapter. The socket on the back of the TV is NOT HDMI but some form of small form factor AV socket. Looking at the images in the manual it does not even look like HDMI. Mind you the image on the Partmaster site does look very HDMI like admitedly.
And we are not lying to you. You cannot connect analogue SCART video and audio signals to a digital HDMI socket using just a bit of wire. If you do find an actual SCART to HDMI lead then try it and you will see. |

Presumably, as you ignore advice, you will try and plug it in - if you insist, do it gently and carefully, because it won't fit. |

But I as I said I already have one and it currently connects my Sky box to my Panny TV.
I don't understand why you are saying it can't be done when it is being done! |

It's not a hdmi connector. It's the compact connector that Samsung and others use to allow connection of scart, composite or component to a single socket (all analogue). You can only use one of these at a time. If that's what you need that's fine, your description of the item is incorrect. If you try and plug that into a normal hdmi socket if it fit's it will be staggering, if it works it will be a miracle

I don't understand why you are saying it can't be done when it is being done! According to that manual the true HDMI sockets appear to be down the edge of the TV. You cannot connect the SCART adapter to any of those and expect it to work. Even if it physically connects OK it will not be in any way electrically compatible. |

If you look ..... it has the same Panasonic part number. I know the Samsung part doesn't work.
The only plug you can put on the other end of a cable with a hdmi plug on it is a dvi plug. (other than another hdmi plug of which there is a mini variant, used on some Hd camcorders) http://www.cables2u.co.uk/hdmi-dvid-...FeTKtAodFiMAjA . Go ahead and waste your money if you wish, no skin of any of the posters here who have tried to help

the user review on this site
http://www.buyspares.co.uk/scart-ada...pl?pid=3245908 Thought this would enable me to connect a scart to an HDMI socket but it does not. |

It is quite normal for me to be incorrect ... and I am on this one.
When I was connecting the cable I convinced myself it was a back HDMI socket ... which it isn't .... because I have to take my glasses off to see it ... if you get my drift. My solution is to buy a cheapo 2 way scart swtich to connect the Hummy alongside the digibox and get off the couch as and when required to effect the switching. My apologies for casting nasturtions about people's advice and eternal affection and appreciation for ensuring I haven't bought yet again another wrong cable. All I'll say in mitigation is that at least I am consistant.

I doubt the Humax will do Component video over SCART. It will likely do RGB which is not the same even though it uses the same number of video connectors. I have only scanned the manual and didn't see if AV2 can be switched to RGB instead of component but it can certainly be used in Composite video mode.
This isn't as good as RGB or component but may be an option if the Humax does not do Component over SCART or on separate sockets or the TV cannot be switched to RGB via AV2. |

Only the Foxsat-HD had component out (and that has hdmi anyway). In any case you can only use 1 adaptor cable at any one time, New TV's are seriously lacking in the number of analogue inputs. Topfield pvrs had component out (via scart) but none of the Humax pvrs have

the AV2 socket is component video. and has a different adapter for rca component to something truly bizarre. it can be used in conjunction with the av1 scart.

It's a double mini jack plug thing. Looks like it has a 3.5mm four pole jack for video and a 2.5mm three pole jack for audio.

They aren't that cheap though, mine was imported from the US. It cost about £40.00 some years ago. These days you seem to be looking at £100.00ish. eg http://www.js-technology.com/store/p...?id_product=14 |
