RE: scart b&w problems

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

I have spokent to Amar.

The reason his portable TV gave colour with the RGB signal is that most
devices actually output Composite Video as the sync rather than pure
CompositeSync.

He is using KAT5 for distribution as S-video and I am sending him a
couple
of components to fit into  a SCART plug to convert the S-Video to
Composite
for the TV. Mark McCall has had this setup running for about a year.

Amar,

Your portable TV doesn't support S-Video but does appear to support
RGB.
To have both the TV and projector working properly, you could try one
of
two options...

1) (The cheap option) Use a S-Video<-->Composite adapter available
from
Keene Electronics or Maplin to convert the S-Video output from the DVD
to composite video. Quality will be far from optimal, but it's cheap
and
you might not notice on the portable.

2) (The better, more expensive option) Get and RGB-to-S-Video convertor
(from http://www.rgbtosvideo.com), set
the output from your DVD to RGB
and use the convertor to drive the projector. A number of us use these
to good result.

Regards,
Steve

I am having great problems hooking up the following

I have pioneer dvd 737 with two scart outs one for tv and one call av2
in/out

I have a project which only takes svideo and a tv with scart.
I using KAT 5 to distribute the dvd around the flat.
KAT5 only takes scart. I have a setting on the dvd
Which says video out(RGB), (s-Video),(video),(component)

And you can set which one you want.

Only when it is set to s-video will it be color on the probjector
But it comes out b&w on my Panasonic portable tele.
If I set it to (RGB) it comes out color on the portable tele
And b&w on the projector ARGH !

How can I get around this, what is going on ?
