Title: What's the A4000's RGB SCART cable pinout?
Post by: awe4k on December 27, 2004, 02:25:05 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the correct pinout to build an RGB SCART cable for an A4000? I have one cable, but it does not work due to sync problems: it is supposed to be plugged into composite video phono plug to give the sync, but the 4000 does not have this plug (the cable works well with A500/A1200).

Help appreciated.

Thanks!

Comp Sync=pin 10 of the Amiga video port

and if you have problem with the monitor automatic RGB detection

Hello,

Well, I have already tried this cable without success. I have read that sometimes the grounds for RGB and sync must be separate.

I'll keep you informed when I get it right.

Well, got it. See:

It is really necessary to apply some tension to some pins of the SCART in order for the TV to realise that it has to get the picture from the separate RGB/sync pins.

Thanks all!
