SCARTSCART (from Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs)
is a French-originated standard and associated 21-pin connector for connecting
audio and video equipment to television sets. Also called Péritel (especially
in France, where the SCART word is not normally used) and Euroconnector. SCART
makes it easy to connect VCRs, DVD players, set-top boxes (Pay TV, analog or

other equipment to television sets with optimal quality.PinoutSCART Pin-out, (*) marking an extension to the original standard:+------------------------------------------+
