VGA to SCART Premium Video Cable
Best premium cable for connecting modern sources to classic displays.
This premium video cable from MiSTer Addons offers a straightforward solution for connecting your MiSTer IO board to vintage displays like PVMs, BVMs, or CRTs with SCART inputs. It features integrated stereo audio and double-shielded lines for both audio and video to minimize interference. The sync is attenuated with a 470-ohm resistor to ensure 75-ohm compliance, and it provides 5V on SCART Pin 8. The cable is 5 feet long and has been tested with various professional video equipment.

Know before you buy
Yes, as long as your consumer CRT is equipped with a SCART input. This cable is designed to bridge the gap between the MiSTer IO board and standard SCART-compatible displays.
The resistor ensures the cable meets 75-ohm compliance standards. This prevents signal issues and potential damage to your display equipment by ensuring the sync voltage is at the correct level.
It handles both video and audio. The cable features integrated stereo audio passthrough, meaning you do not need to run a separate cable from your MiSTer to your speakers.
The 5V signal on Pin 8 is used to trigger the automatic aspect ratio switching on many SCART-equipped televisions. It tells the TV to switch to the correct display mode, such as 16:9 or 4:3, without manual intervention.
The double shielding on both audio and video lines significantly reduces electromagnetic interference. This results in a cleaner, more stable image and clearer sound, which is essential when working with sensitive vintage video equipment.
Yes, this cable has been tested and verified to work with both the OSSC and the RetroTink 5X, making it a reliable choice for routing your MiSTer signal through modern upscaling hardware.
