 ===== The SCART Connector =====
-The SCART connector, also known as a Péritel or Euroconnector or, is a multi-function connector that is identical in shape, but not function, to the [[Japanese RGB-21]] connector.  It carries RGB, s-video, composite video in and out, and stereo audio in and out.  It can also carry component video and digital MPG2 video, however these uses appear to be non-standard and the pinout is not known.
