A fairly common (after including generic clones) manual, passive, and fully mechanical SCART switch.
It is specific for this use and not compatible with JP-21 signals or as a generic 20P3C electrical switch.
Compatibility
- Composite video and stereo audio are supported.
- RGBα (and derivatives sharing the same pins like S-Video and YPbPr) are supported.
- Pin 8 source active/aspect ratio indication is supported.
- Consumer electronics control (pin 10 and 12) is unimplemented.
- Return path is partially supported.
Connectors
- A is intended for a VTR but is compatible with generic source.
- B and C are generic inputs.
- TV/MONITOR is self explanatory.
- TV OUTPUT is the output from TV/MONITOR (most commonly where implemented, last selected RF channel).
- OUTPUT offers the same signal sent to TV/MONITOR, ie this device can be used as a SCART to RCA converter.
Controls
- RGB enables or disables pin 16 passthrough. The actual RGB signals are always connected.
- B-A or C-A connect the selected input to A's return path.
- A, B, or C connect the selected input to TV/MONITOR and OUTPUT.
