Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does this work with an old Sky box in New Zealand?
Yes. This converter is ideal for older New Zealand Sky and MySky boxes that use a SCART output. It allows you to connect these older receivers to a modern television that only has HDMI inputs.
2. Can I use this for retro gaming consoles?
Yes. It is commonly used to connect older consoles like the PlayStation, PS1, PS2, Sega Mega Drive, and Nintendo Wii to modern TVs. Please note that it will not improve the native resolution of the games, but it will make them playable on modern digital displays.
3. Does it upscale to High Definition (HD)?
Yes. The converter takes the analog SCART signal and upscales it to a digital HDMI output. You can use the physical toggle switch on the side of the device to select between 720p or 1080p resolution, depending on what your TV supports.
4. Does it work both ways (HDMI to SCART)?
No. This is a one-way, directional converter. It only converts an older SCART source into an HDMI output. It will not work if you are trying to plug a modern HDMI device (like a Chromecast or laptop) into an old SCART television.
5. Do I need an external power supply for it to work?
Yes. To ensure a stable signal without screen flickering or signal loss, the converter requires power. A USB power cable is included. You can plug this into any standard 5V USB wall adapter or use a spare USB port on your television.
6. Does this support RGB SCART or just Composite (CVBS)?
This model supports standard Composite (CVBS) SCART only. It is a budget-friendly plug-and-play solution. If you are a retro gaming enthusiast specifically looking for pure RGB output, you may require a specialized upscaler (like an OSSC or Retrotink), as this standard unit processes the composite signal.

Questions & Answers

does this work just as well with a modern computer hooked up to an old tv or does that not work
Hi Roy, thanks for asking. This SCART to HDMI Converter is designed to convert SCART input signals (from older devices like DVD players, VCRs, retro gaming consoles, or set-top boxes) to HDMI output, which connects to modern TVs, monitors, or projectors.
However, it does not work in reverse — it will not convert a signal from a modern computer (HDMI output) to an older TV with a SCART input.
If you're looking to connect a modern computer or laptop to an older television with a SCART port, you would need an HDMI to SCART converter, which is a completely different type of adapter that handles digital-to-analog signal conversion.
While there are many ways to connect an HDMI source to a SCART TV input, one economic way to achieve this is to use a 'SCART to AV adapter' with an 'HDMI to AV adapter'.
