Post by: wman on August 06, 2014, 01:22:00 am

Hi

I'm trying to connect pal crt tv thomson to vga scart would this cable do the job or i need something special http://www.alza.cz/hama-scart-d-sub-vga-d598104.htm. (http://www.alza.cz/hama-scart-d-sub-vga-d598104.htm.) Not sure if the tv can handle 640x480 60hz what are my options i dont want to damage the set. I have already instaled soft 15khz and i cant see interlaced modes. So all and all would this work.

Hard to say if the cable you linked to would be suitable without knowing how it is wired internally.

You need a cable that combines the horizontal and vertical sync signals from the VGA output. Without a composite sync signal, your TV won't sync to the computer.

Arcade Forge's UMSA will definitely do the job: UMSA - Ultimate SCART Adapter (http://arcadeforge.net/UMSA:::15.html)

Edit

Alright i might try that, thanks for the help

Well after checking the umsa i think i couldnt fit power socket of the uk adapter but i i have found ready made cable online http://www.wolfsoft.de/shop/product_info.php/products_id/12836//vga-stecker-15pol.-%3E-scart-stecker-2m.html.But (http://www.wolfsoft.de/shop/product_info.php/products_id/12836//vga-stecker-15pol.-%3E-scart-stecker-2m.html.But) they dont ship to cz so if anyone from germany would do me a favor and send it to me.That would be great.Or if anyone have the correct cable to sell just PM me.

Thanks
