red, green and blue
RGB (which stands for red, green and blue) is a colour model in which the colours red, green and blue are combined in various ways to reproduce a wide array of colours. The model is used to display images in electronic systems such as TVs and computers.
Q. Can you convert VGA to SCART?
If your system has a VGA output and you can configure it to use an horizontal frequency of 15.7Khz then you can use this adapter to connect it to the SCART input of a TV. The adapter is easy to make, unexpensive and powerfull.

Q. Can you convert RGB to VGA?
The reverse translation (RGB to VGA) is also possible. You can purchase adapters to convert an RGB cable into a VGA cable from the same retailers that sold you the VGA to RGB adapter.
Q. Do SCART cables carry sound?
The scart lead has a 21 pin connector each end and is capable of carrying audio, video and data signals. There are two main types of scart lead, fully wired and RGB only. RGB only scart leads only carry the RGB picture and no sound and may be directional.
Q. Is VGA better than RGB?
While VGA is primarily used to bridge displays to their source, RGB has a much wider spectrum of applications. This is even more apparent as the display interface has moved to digital with HDMI. The only remaining part of VGA that is in use today is the resolution (640×480).
Q. How does a VGA to SCART adapter work?
It automatically detects the polarity of the input VGA sync signals and configures the configurable logic cells (CLC) of the PIC dynamically to generate the SCART composite sync signal correctly.
Q. Why does my Pic disable the VGA sync signal?
If the frequency of the VGA horizontal sync signal is wrong or if the VGA vertical sync signal does not change then the PIC disables the SCART composite sync signal, the SCART RGB selection signal and the SCART status signal. Most VGA devices can provide enough power to the PIC so no external power source is required.
Q. Do you need DC converter for VGA to Pic?
Most VGA devices can provide enough power to the PIC so no external power source is required. No external power source nor DC-DC converter is required to generate the 12V of the SCART status signal. It can be generated by the PIC itself as noted by Visenri. Optional aspect ratio selection. Optional LEDs to test the power and input sync signals.
Q. Is the Behar Bros Garo a VGA or SCART box?
The Behar Bros have recently released the Garo, a component to SCART / VGA box. It offers both a SCART RGBs output and a VGA outputs that’s switched between RGBs / RGBHV. It offers scanlines as well, however they aren’t very dark and aren’t very accurate to a standard “scanline look”. Here’s a screenshot for reference.
