Scart to scart

Oh dear me. I bought three small black scart adaptors from CPC. They
comprised two sockets back to back. One of them worked fine. The other two
didn't. They were wired pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc. Not worth
sending them back really. They were dead cheap. Hand soldered, with little
wires. I wouln't fancy sitting in a sweat shop all day in China soldering
wires.

What did you expect?
Pray tell, what use did you intend putting them to?

To join two scart leads.

Normal fully populated SCART cables aren't wired pin to pin for the
composite video and audio. A back to back socket suggests it will be used
to extend one standard cable by using another. So it must also crossover
those inputs and outputs.

That's correct: but Bill Wright is right, the two adaptors he complains
of are incorrectly wired.

As do the various status etc lines. Hence my specific reference to
composite video and audio. However, no device I know of offers the
choice of an RGB input *and* output on the one socket so it's
irrelevant.

Would that work? SCART leads have some connections crossed over (inputs
to outputs for example) so would using a joining connector wired straight
through simply reverse the crossovers and you would have no audio or
composite video?

Discuss!

If you buy a SCART extender (a small block with two back-to-back
sockets) from a reputable source such as Maplins the necessary leads
will be crossed over so that the extended lead will work properly.
(There are apparently some cheapo 'extenders' floating about which
aren't wired with the crossovers and so are useless.)

Which it didn't of course.
