- This is a revised version of a video I posted on April 8, 2015. I try to describe Scart a little more accurately and I also added some Genesis comparison footage:) Original description and links below:
Watch this in full screen HD if possible! I wanted to find a cost-effective solution to hook up some of my old consoles to my HDTVs. I cover a pretty inexpensive SCART to HDMI converter that I purchased (link to buy down below) to test how much better direct RGB looks compared to Composite & S-Video. I compare game footage from Sega Master System, Super Nintendo and Sega Saturn so you can evaluate yourselves.
Another thing I forgot to mention, and test for this video, is the headphone audio-out on this converter. It may resolve the audio differences I note in the video, but I'm not sure.
This article goes WAY more in depth and provides some actual technical knowledge on a vast array of these converters. Mine ranked quite low, so the other options may even turn out better results! Read this before you buy:

Here is the link to purchase to converter I use in this video:

thanks for the video - I'm obsessed with snes and ps1 music so I'm glad someone finally mentioned something about the audio issues with scart. I'm using S-cable atm but will go for HD retrovisions component cables once they are finally re-released.
thanks for this mate been looking for a video like this so thanks dude. really helpful.
SCART to BNC on a PVM is drop dead gorgeous. I haven't tried any converters on a newer LCD/Plasma as I still have a CRT and PVM. Great video and glad to have you back Dave!
what makes no since to me is the xbox scart it only dose 480i
Now I am starting to gather information about RGB Adapters and cables. So, the video is very helpful to me right.. Good timing.. Also, the article is very helpful.. Nice Review..!
Hey Dave, I was at TooManyGames and we chatted at the Game Sack panel. I ended up getting SCART for my Saturn and got a decent little upscaler, and it worked miracles. SCART is a fantastic method to get these older consoles to look great on modern TVs.
***** I'll be there next year for sure, as for RGB, this 50 dollar box works miracles. Can't imagine how good a framemeister would be.
if the s-video has better sound than the scart I'll just stick with that
Dude I miss you and your Dad jokes on Classic Game Room.
Nice copy of Snatcher in the background, been looking for one forever
One thing that I like about S-Video too over Scart is that S-Video has a more secure connection where Scart cables are known to be loose and break easier than S-Video. When buying heavy duty Hi Quality Gold Plated S-Video cables they have no signal loss at all. I used to play most of my consoles via Scart and then convert to HDMI but im no longer a fan of Scart but im a big fan of S-Video. I talked to a lot of Europeans and believe me they have had more problems with those cables than problems here for us with S-Video cables and most people dont know how good the picture can get with good quality S-Video cables being that you have more room for tuning on the TV compared with tuning with RGB Scart. A good Scart is known to have more chances of some type of signal loss compared to a good S-Video cable.
In Europe we used rgb scart cable so we could play NTSC games in color. Via composite non-PAL games were in black and white. RGB cable fixed that
saturn svideo is possibly the best svideo of any platform.
SCART isn't a video standard, it's just a variety of connector. RGB is the commonly desired video standard used with SCART, but it also supports composite video, s-video, and sometimes even component (Y/Pb/Pr) connections.
A very much-hated connector type, with bulky and heavy cables, sensitive to movement etc. In countries where SCART was/is not commonplace, opinions can differ. I'm fond of the standard, New Zealand is very much a PAL region, but we barely even got composite video on many TV sets back in the day due to consumer demands here being much different.
Thankfully I do own an RGB SCART equipped TV (Bang and Olufsen ME 6000) so until it dies, I'm a happy man.
Tell me about it... not to mention that it tends to get loose very fast and you can consider yourself lucky of the connector is decent made.. i once used cheap ones and they desintegrate very easily..
@@KayoMichiels And let's not forget that you had to perfectly align your cable with the plug else it would jam. Just like USB, you'd try it one way for 5 minutes, then the other way for 5 minutes, then the first way again for like 2 minutes and then you had it in, all behind your large ass CRT TV and the jungle of AV cables at the back!
Meh, yall had poor quality SCART then. Here in France it was mandatory to sell tvs with it and they had to be good quality. The design of the connector was, meh. Well its a 70's design. Big and bulky. Never had issues plugging it tho, even as a child. Stereo is good, its the hdmi adaptors that sucks.
Here it was mandatory until 2014. So you could get brand new HDTV with built in SCART. You got best sound AND picture. Too bad it's PAL and US made games tended to be badly ported for 25fps.. japanese got the best of both world tho
ok question about the signal path:
console>Box (SCART IN/HDMI OUT)>HD TV.
I'm guessing I need a composite to SCART (RGB) cable to connect my composite consoles to the converter box, right?
Your SCART to HDMI supports S-video? Mine only does Composite or RGB. If I use S-video, I get a weird rainbow artifacts or B&W.
Sweet Lonerism shirt, man.
Thx for the video man. I had a Saturn when it came out and i'm looking to buy one here soon so i'm doing my research. Is there anything else i need to look out for, i know about the Action Replay 4M card and the 3 Volt battery........
80's and 90's... Still use it now. Every tv comes with it or an adapter for it. its our version of composite. All SD devices connect through it. Decoders, cable, video player, etc. We dont even have rca composite on our tv's. -Italy
Oh didn't know that. Here in germany you have both on pretty much all TVs: RCA(component) and euro scart.
Thing is a RCA to HDMI converter with upscaler costs 10€, the ones for scart 30-50€.
Also personally I never ever noticed a difference between component and scart video output.
Great information! I have a bunch of old consuls I would like to start playing again and recently got a CERT but it’s a 2000 Sony Trinitron and it’s white screen I’m curious if it’s better to use that or trying to hook up these older consoles to my HDTV what do you recommend? And is that converter that you’re using the best thing I should be using to play older consuls on a modern TV?
Do you get a buzzing distortion on certain screens of Sega Saturn using this 1080 scaler and the scart cable? some scene of the game are louder than others. This happens on both my tv sound and my stereo sound. Any help you could offer would be great!
I got a question, If I use a s-vídeo output to plug it on a crt tv for retrogaming, do I need to use soft15hz and quick-res, or it does everything automatically? Thanks in advance.
only real comparison video for saturn rgb vs composite. Thank you!. I wish you could do component vs rgb vs composite... but you probably wont see this comment on a 5yr old video =p
Good work thanks
Thanks for the comparison. From what I've seen, in some games scart looks better, in others it's s-video that looks better. I'm in the US so I don't think it's worth bothering with RGB scart. But I don't know what I'm going to do with the Genesis yet. I either have to mod it for s-video, or buy all the stuff for RGB scart.
Most of us who used a modded ps1 in the 90s used the rgb cable so we could play asian and american NTSC games in color. Via composite all we got was a black and white screen.
I've never seen this game albertoddysey, looks really cool.
I want to buy a similar SCART to HDMI Converter along with the scart cable and use them with my japanese Mega Drive 1. I'm a newbie on this, but from what I have read the cable I have to buy depends on the converter, right?, so if I buy the a converter like the one you show in the video SCART cable should work, but if I buy Framemeister XRGB-Mini I should buy a JP21 cable, right?
I have my Saturn, PS1, PC Engine Duo-R, Jaguar and N64(RGB deblur modded) connected to an OSSC with a GSCARTSW switch. Then for my 3DO, I have the Japanese variant with the native 240p connected through a Retrotink with S-Video. I swear the 3DO's S-Video is almost as good looking as my other console's with Scart. Good enough that I decided the diminishing returns are too great to have it RGB modded.
How do you remove the "darkness" when capturing retro footage
I have heard that that particular HDMI Scaler has poor audio - so its not the Scart Cable.
So, overall S-Video wins, thanks to the fact that it usually uses composite audio?
when fine tuning TVs comparing RGB and S-Video. S- Video has one every time.
does the scart go to 720p or 1080p if it doesn't do you know how to I have a HD tv
I personally didn't really like SCART early on, that wire is super thick and trying to plug one end in sometimes twisted the other end out, it's somewhat sensitive to movement so it felt like it never really "clicked in", the connector is bulky and needed some force to put in, the metal edges of the connector sometimes got stuck in the socket edges when trying to plug it and you needed to retry it a few times behind a bulky TV...
It was the standard cable to connect anything to your TV in the 90s and early 2000s in Finland. Then I later discovered Video and S-Video inputs and saw that I didn't really miss out much after all. Later I discovered it was never a thing within north america. I'm a bit conflicted as in one hand I feel like you missed out, but on the other hand you didn't have to deal with trying to connect a 1cm thick spring between your VCR and TV, hoping the thick cable wouldn't move your devices around too much ( yes it did happen with more modern and lighter VCRs ).
But that's just how I remember it, I'm rather happy with the HDMI nowadays.
How did you capture the S video footage? Was it with an upscaler?
Hello,thx for the test.Svidéo is better on saturn,but i hesitate to buy svideo low price for my new saturn ntsc,or i do pay much in original svideo cable to best quality picture?(see rgb cable ntsc is different of pal rgb cable,and quality of made make difference too).
+leo197777 Cheap svideo cables for Saturn at 5$ are good?
I was curious about Scart. I've heard about it several times and how good it is, but after looking at some screen shots, I didn't see any real improvement over S-video, which I already have for most of my older consoles. I didn't know about giving up some audio quality, so that makes it a no-brainer. Thanks for the info.
You have to keep in mind that these converters don't always deliver a perfect conversion from RGB to HDMI though :)
Speaking as someone who was using rgb scart in the 90s theres a huge difference between S Video RGB Scart is far superior on a real tv, giving up audio quality isn't accurate too bear in mind as said convertors are used here.
I could tell easily the difference over the years even now, S Video is better than composite but far worse than RGB but it depends on cable, tv (and convertor is using one)
@@gentarofourze I used to think that RGB Scart or RGB through component was the best way to play retro consoles until I started getting good at fine tuning old crts and lcds (flatscreens) to look the best and compared RGB (fine tuning) to S-Video (fine tuning) and so far S-Video has won every time. I'm not sure if its because S-Video has less saturated colors (and gives more room to fine tune) but I play all my consoles with S-Video if possible now and RGB scart or component second if S-Video is not available on a console. In my opinion S-Video at its best can look better than RGB. I know supposedly S-Video is taking the picture from RGB but S-Video looks better when both images are fine tuned. The colors look better in S-Video and S-Video has a cleaner image in motion.
S-Video with a good hi quality gold plated cable gives the same sharpness and brightness as hi quality gold plated scart and gold plated component cables but the difference is the color which might look better at a first glance in RGB with the TV's standard or reset options but when fine tuning for RGB Scart or RGB Component and S-Video. S-Video looks better and even the color looks better and in motion S-Video looks better.
Now for the ones who dont have access to S-Video or RGB Scart or RGB Component.
Remember if you are using Composite. A hi quality gold plated composite cable will look a lot better than the original cable and the same with RF.
I have a hi quality gold plated rf cable that looks better than what the original consoles rf cable does image and sound wise.
But to keep it simple Hi Quality Gold Plated cables are the best.
@@Atariatari-ky9te Years ago I tried S Video on many tvs, even with expensive cables, never liked it but my take off is that it was down to the tv as well, I owned some that had a horrible rgb picture and even worse the rgb settings outside of contrast/brightness were locked so you couldn't change the saturation
Yes S-Video gives me more room to make adjustments on my TVs then RGB and after the adjustments S-Video looks better IMO then RGB adjusting. Looking at both with the standard settings RGB looks a little more colorful but when I fine tune both the color actually looks better in S-Video and also when looking at both in motion S -Video looks slightly cleaner IMO. The only thing I can say to be in RGBs favor is that I dont have a TV that has a Scart Input so getting RBG im using converters. Where S-Video im going straight into the TV into a S-Video input. Regardless of how expensive upscalers or converters used I have found that less conversion is best for a cleaner image and some LCD Flatscreens have no noticeable lag and put out a better image in S-Video then RGB with conversion upscaler boxes like the Framemeister and RetroTink. I have a Emerson 40" flatscreen w/ a S-Video port that not only produces a better picture using that S-Video port than using S-Video with the Framemister but also produces a better image when using the Framemeister using RGB Scart. Also there is no noticeable lag when just going straight to the S-Video input from S-Video out from the systems I have tested Saturn, Super Nintendo (1 chip and original) and a modded Sega Genesis. Maybe its the S-Video cord im using but no RGB conversion I have tried has looked better than S-Video with Hi Quality gold plated cable going straight into my Emerson 40" Flatscreen model LCD401EM2F. RGB looks good on it as well but not better than S-video especially after fine tuning them both with the TV (making the RGB conversion look the best) and (making S Video look the best) which S-Video always wins after comparing. This has happened with other TVs I own as well its just that the Emerson beats out all my TV's including my CRT's.
I saw some video that scart its better over s-video. Is it there a capture video device with scart input?
When you use RGB on the SNES, the video signal makes a lot of signal noise on the audio wires if you don't have them on separate wires. SCART is also commonly called just "euro" here in the EU.
though in english wiki they also mention it's called euro ;)
In portugal, normally we call it SCART, but some people call it "21 pin cable".
Some devices use the term "Euroconnector" on scart sockets.
Ik these are old comments BUT SCART is the company that made it - actually z syndicat..its french. The retail name was Péritélévision
what were you using to capture the s-video? it look like some of the best s-video capture i seen.
I used to think that RGB Scart or RGB through component was the best way to play retro consoles until I started getting good at fine tuning old crts and lcds (flatscreens) to look the best and compared RGB (fine tuning) to S-Video (fine tuning) and so far S-Video has won every time.

You know, on that Quake video I hate to say it, but the S-Video looks a little better than the SCART. It's almost like the SCART stripped a couple of colors out.
I agree!
Is this the guy from the old classic game room episodes??? How come he stopped doing those?
Haven't dug through the comments, but have you tried a SCART Audio breakout adapter? It sits in between the SCART device and the SCART cable connector and basically intercepts the audio. My general understanding of how most of these video games systems works leads me to believe the audio should be 100% the same over the SCART pins, but due to interference, or conversion, you experienced degraded audio. Let me know how it goes if you get a chance.
Good video mate. No people in America that want RGB, I would be careful when buying SCART Cables from here in Europe as not all are RGB.
A lot of SCART Cables are actually just composite. They will look identical but they are different inside the plug so you need to be extra sure the seller knows what you need
To* people in America I meant :-)
To All,
I have been going nuts in the past couple of months
trying to find the ideal RGB SCART cable for the Sega Saturn NA Version.
Each cable claimed to be the best, yet a loud annoying buzz feedback
has been coming through on my audio feed. I discovered this feedback
noise is caused from poor quality cables that do no shield wires. Hence,
90% of the cables out there. "retro_console_accessories" of EBAY
sells a RGB SCART cable 10 times thicker than the normal cable for a
little more cost. Get the shield upgrade charge with this cable. I am
running Bowers & Wilkins 7.2 Channel Stereo system with a very good
receiver. I put the volume to max and still zero noise feedback!! The
picture quality is amazing, colors that are normally deficient are now
complete, bright and vibrant. If you are serious about retro gaming in
high quality use a good SCART cable with a HD Upscaler Box.
i think S-Video the best.
I have a S-video switch that i run all my consoles into which seems to be the way to go IF you hate wires and prefer using CRT. As the the sub topic of Saturn, the fella is right, Saturn doesn't improve much. The only benefit for going scart with Saturn is if you want to use a HD tv.
I have my Genesis/Sega Cd hooked up through Scart to RGB and honestly, my CRT does a better job. My LCDs cant keep up. The image is slightly sharper, but i get lag. I like scanlines coupled with the richness of RGB Scart, so in my opinion, the best option available is S-Video for NES, Snes, N64, Saturn, Ps1 and Dreamcast through a CRT.
Gamecube $$component$$ (or GC games on Wii using component for 75% less cost)
Dreamcast VGA through LCD.
D-no P You must have not read the entire comment.
hi, there
if i use an rgb adapter on my composite wires for my gamecube will that produce exactly the same picture quality as if I had an rgb scart cable for my gamecube?
No. On a proper RGB scart cable the red green and blue signals are sent separately rather than down the single yellow composite wire. Colour depth and sharpness are vastly improved on a proper fully wired RGB scart.
***** thankyou, yes, what you're saying makes sense...it bugged me for ages because i had an xbox 360 rgb adapter model and didn't want to buy the actual official gamecube rgb cable lead but from what you're saying, it would be superior to get the actual lead (preferably officially nintendo) because it produces a better picture?
Glover dragon It does not have to be official nintendo, Just look for a RGB scart lead on ebay, Heres the one i use: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NINTENDO-SNES-GAMECUBE-RGB-SCART-CABLE-FOR-PAL-EUROPEAN-MODELS-/391407538472?hash=item5b21b51128:g:PBgAAOSwZ8ZW6Efr Hope this helps. As long as it says fully wired your good :)
***** it does have to be official nintendo if you want the best quality picture.
i've done this with my dreamcast, I got a vga cable for it and the advice that I got from most people was that i should invest in a trusted company that makes really good cables because buying any cheap one will result in a less dynamic picture.
Just a suggestion. You seemed to talk down the Saturn a little bit in the graphical department. In fact, the Saturn is a 2D power house, while being a 3D power house as well. The console was difficult to code for, otherwise there are games that rival the PS1. Just saying, otherwise great stuff, and thank you.
-biggestsaturnfan
Just a heads up, you can get a scart RCA stereo breaker box on the end on your scart cable. I use this with my scart to component on a CRT set up.
Picture of the box, you can find these on ebay for around 10$ or less.

Eric Heil alternatively it's pretty easy to solder up left and right audio from the SNES multi-out and make your own RCA jacks on the back or side to get stereo out. They mount pretty well on the back left side.
the best way to explain RGB vs Composite is like the difference back in the day of playing games at home on a console vs playing them at the arcade. Even older worse looking arcade games look better because of the better video setup and monitors.
+PotbellyPunch This is exactly how I started down the path to better connections than composite. I had always wondered why Tekken and Soul Edge looked so much better in the arcade than on my Playstation despite the fact that the arcade versions basically used Playstation hardware. I was blown away when I finally got a s-video cable in 1997. There was the arcade crispness that I was looking for.
I use RGB now, but going from composite to s-video was the most dramatic leap in quality.
component is good for 8 and 16 bit consoles. From 32 bit onward at least s-video...
What RPG is that on the Saturn, wow it was pretty. I never had a Saturn.
***** Thanks I will check that one out
+James Pyle (NewYears1978) Man, that's too bad! It was an amazing console. My brother got one when I was a little kid and I picked one up and have been collecting for it for a few years now. GREAT CONSOLE! GREAT GAMES! GREAT CONTROLLER!
actually I tested 480i component vs S-video on few systems & I liked S-video on CRT S-video stops the color bleed the same & without 3 way comb filter it just dose not matter I just hope more arcade support hits the mister I was so said to hear it dose not support the whole mame 2003 set
s video looks a bit better because colors are more subdued giving it a more natural look. but i know ppl tend to like very bright kinda fake colors (like samsung amoled and tv) so to each their own
The SCART is awesome and all but, if you're like me, you don't really want to play retro games on an HDTV for the same reason that people hated the jump from VHS to DVD at first. Difference in these two comparisons is that the jump from VHS to DVD had a purpose, specifically that I'm trying to reference. With DVD, you had those "black bars" which the purpose was Widescreen format. You saw more picture as was originally intended by the director. With this SCART solution, it still works like you're saying but, if we want the real gaming experience, we're screwed until Samsung, Sony, Vizio, and Panasonic, and NEC all go back to manufacturing 4:3 aspect ratio TVs. I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate those fat chunky black lines on my screen. It just doesn't feel right and I can't find a solution to that so I'm better off using my CRT TV with S-Video and hoping that soon someone manufactures Component cables for the Genesis and such.
+NeoMahi There are CRT's with Scart inputs on them out there
Check for a Sony BVM/PVM CRT if you can find one for cheap
Also check out Phonedork's videos he does a lot of videos on these sorts of topics and they're very informative
There's also already Component and RGB Calbes for the Genesis out there
+bardhi09 Ah. Alright. Thanks.
You dont need an SONY BVM or PVM for scart connector. They are amazing monitors, no questions here, but if you want a very good picture (NOT a suberb one like these professional monitors) just get a cheap sony triniton TV from mid to end of 90's with 4:3 screen format. All these TVs have SCART Socket and are great tvs for gaming.
Just be sure to connect to a SCART port that supports RGB! My TV is SCART port 2. On sony TVs generally have an icon of AV Logo above the scart connector, if the AV Logo have 3 dots above, that port supports RGB.
Luis Marques BVM/PVM's are the best though and there's many people out there who are dumping them for cheap now
Yes. In portugal i don't see much. And when they appear, majority of times are 14", very small screen.
Is this Dave from The Game Room??!!
You are correct sir.
Ok, I´ll be politically incorrect...when it comes to 8bit & 16bit (mainly 8bit) consoles I prefer the "bluriness" and softness of the composite signal. Dithering and edges look easier on the eye and overall It gives a more "authentic" and "retro" feel to it.
I would have to agree with you there really. The games weren't designed really to give a pixel-perfect and lossless picture. The dithering (checkerboard effect) makes extra colors blend and is used to make a transparency, so composite usually looks better on 8 and 16-bit systems.
CRTs (PVM monitors are not a chance around here) are also the preferred option (if available and if the room conditions are given), when it comes to actual retro consoles. I guess you might agree with that too.
Hey I know it is a Scart Svideo video but for the Saturn!
The Saturn can beat the psx in 3D games but it was so hard to program that no game developer tried it rly. On some Later games you see better 3D as on the PSX but it was way more work and yeah in 3D gameing was the PSX not stronger but better to program! Just saying!
Go with Scart.
S-Video cables have died out and none of the EBay sellers bother to make them.
So you get these outrageous cable prices for SVideo and Component
composite looks so bad, but it's also nostalgic. =)
Scart was good, but ended up being phased out in the 2000's in favor of composite. Scart was complicated to make, and God forbid you had a dirty connector. I remember as a kid fiddling with the damn thing while my friends or parents were in front giving me feedback until; we got a clear image.
The PS2 for example had a 3 pin to scart adapter instead of actual scart. Early Xbox 360's also had this setup.
And while our picture quality was better, any PAL gamer will gladly trade it for the faster (proper) framerate of NTSC games.
PAL was way superior when it came to TV, the better resolution ect...
As for games and the framerate... PAL had NO CHOICE but to run 25 frames as its based on the 50hz of the AC current. NTSC was 30 fps bc of the 60hz AC. If Europe had been 60hz, PAL would've been superior in every aspects
@@victorpelini5995 In that regard, the Dreamcast in PAL regions was superior in every way since it had a. PAL60 support, b. Higher colour clarity/resolution than NTSC.
The other consoles, especially the PS2, really gave PAL the shaft forcing fans to choose either higher NTSC framerates or better PAL colours.
Save money and buy S-video if you live in America.
SCART IS BETTER
eu kid here first thing you did when you buy or get your brand ew ps1 in 1995 mod chip to run ntsc games
second thing get a fucking scart cabel!!
ps1 logo on composite blurry flickering
ps1 logo on scart like a painting wonderfull
Why anyone would want to use those cheap piece of crap converters is beyond me.
