Video/audio Format Pinouts?

Post by Lorelis-san »

I need video and audio format pinouts for a project I'm planning to do.

For video, I'll need SCART, S-Video, RCA(Both 3-plug and 6-plug HDTV), DVI, and VGA, and how to convert between the formats (if possible).

For Audio, I'll need SCART(If it carries audio), RCA(3-plug red+white, and any of the HDTV plugs if they carry audio), and stereo headphone socket. If DVI carries audio, that too please.

Thank you all if you help me with these pinouts! DVI isn't a necessity, so don't worry about that if you can't help.

http://pinouts.ru and http://gamesx.com for all your pinout needs.

You'll a 'transcoder' for component to VGA and vice versa. For composite to VGA, you'll need a box that converts and upscales the signal (a converter + downscaler for VGA to composite). SCART can carry audio, composite and S-Video, though it's native video format is RGB+S at 15kHz horizontal refresh rate.
