Scart to HDMI lead

[hifi_dave]

Is there such a thing as a 20 pin Scart to HDMI lead ?

I have just bought a Samsung TV and plugged everything in except the video recorder which has a 20 pin Scart connection. The TV has no Scart inputs.

I have looked on on E-Bay and couldn't see anything suitable.

Think scart is analogue, HDMI digital, suspect this may be the problem. HDMI to DVI or DVI to HDMI does work as both are digital.

Something like this?

Thanks lads. I knew you would come up with the goods.

I did see similar on E-Bay but didn't understand the "upscaling" bit.

I've just been wresting with this problem. Yes SCART to HDMI converters are available, but their performance is dubious. You will get a picture but the colour fidelity is just awful - almost unwatchable.

Caveat emptor
