The Problem – New Devices Won’t Connect to Old TVs

This HDMI to SCART adapter solves that problem. Consequently, you can connect your PS3, PS4, Fire Stick, or laptop to any TV with a SCART input.

HDMI to SCART Conversion – Digital to Analogue   (Hdmi to Scart Adapter)

This adapter converts digital HDMI signals to analogue SCART. Specifically, it takes the HDMI output from your modern device and converts it to a PAL or NTSC signal that old TVs understand. Therefore, your new device works with your old TV. For instance, watch Netflix on a Fire Stick connected to a CRT TV in a campervan. Similarly, play a PS4 on an old flat screen in a holiday cottage. As a result, you get more use from both your new and old equipment.

The converter supports both PAL (UK/Europe) and NTSC (US/Japan) formats. Consequently, it works with TVs from different regions.

Supports PS3, PS2, TV, DVD – Wide Compatibility  (Hdmi to Scart Adapter)

This adapter works with a range of HDMI sources. Specifically, it is compatible with:

• PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 (with HDMI output)

• PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (will downscale to SD)

• Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series (will downscale)

• Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, Roku

• Laptops and desktop computers

• DVD and Blu-ray players

• Sky Box, Virgin Media, Freeview HD boxes

For example, connect your PS3 to an old TV in a retro gaming setup. Similarly, connect a Fire Stick to a SCART-only TV in a caravan. As a result, it is a versatile tool for many situations.

Supports NTSC/PAL TV Output – UK and International

Different regions use different TV standards. This converter supports both NTSC and PAL. Specifically, PAL is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia. NTSC is used in the US, Japan, and Canada. Therefore, you can select the output format that matches your TV. For instance, for a UK TV, choose PAL. For an imported US TV, choose NTSC. As a result, the picture displays correctly without rolling or colour issues.

The adapter has a switch or setting to change between formats. Consequently, no region locking problems.

HDMI to HDMI Cable Options – 1 Metre or 1.5 Metre   (Hdmi to Scart Adapter)

This listing includes an HDMI to HDMI cable in your choice of length. Specifically, you can choose a 1 metre cable or a 1.5 metre cable. Therefore, you have flexibility in positioning your devices. For instance, a 1 metre cable is perfect for a tight setup where the converter sits near the TV. A 1.5 metre cable allows the converter to be placed further away, such as on a shelf. As a result, you get the right length for your space.

The cables are high-quality and support standard HDMI signals. Consequently, reliable performance.

External Power Required – USB Powered

This converter needs external power. Specifically, it comes with a USB power cable (adapter not always included). Therefore, you need to plug it into a USB power source. For instance, use a standard phone charger, a USB port on your TV, or a power bank. As a result, the converter has enough power to convert the signal reliably.

The power draw is low. Consequently, a standard USB port is sufficient.

Important Note – Not for HD to HD Conversion

This converter downscales HDMI to standard definition SCART. Specifically, it converts a high-definition signal to standard definition (480i/576i). Therefore, the picture quality will not be HD. For instance, a 1080P source will be downscaled to standard definition. As a result, it is suitable for older TVs that cannot display HD, but it will not look as sharp as on a modern TV.

If you need to connect SCART devices to HDMI TVs, see our SCART to HDMI converter. Consequently, choose the right direction for your needs.

Real Use Cases for UK Users   (Hdmi to Scart Adapter)

Consider a caravan owner who has an older TV with only SCART inputs. The TV works perfectly, but they want to watch streaming services. They buy a Fire Stick. However, the Fire Stick has only HDMI output. This converter solves the problem. They connect the Fire Stick to the converter’s HDMI input. They connect the converter’s SCART output to the TV. They power the converter via USB. As a result, they watch Netflix and Prime Video on their caravan TV without buying a new set.

Similarly, a retro gamer loves playing PlayStation 2 games on a CRT TV for authentic visuals. However, their PS2 HDMI adapter stopped working. They use this converter to connect their PS3 (which plays PS2 games) to the CRT TV. For instance, the PS3 outputs HDMI. The converter changes it to SCART. The CRT TV displays the game. As a result, they enjoy classic games on original-style equipment.

Furthermore, a holiday cottage owner wants to provide entertainment for guests. The cottage has an old but reliable TV with only SCART inputs. Instead of replacing the TV, they buy this converter. They leave a Fire Stick connected via the converter. Guests can log into their own streaming accounts. As a result, the cottage offers modern entertainment without a costly TV upgrade.

Plug and Play – Simple Setup (Hdmi to Scart Adapter)

Setting up this converter is straightforward. First, connect your HDMI source to the converter using an HDMI cable (1m or 2m option). Second, connect the converter’s SCART output to your TV’s SCART input. Third, connect USB power to the converter. Fourth, select the correct PAL/NTSC setting for your TV. Fifth, turn on your source and TV. Select the SCART input on your TV. The picture should appear. As a result, you are ready to go in minutes.

If the picture is black and white or rolling, change the PAL/NTSC setting. Consequently, adjust for your TV.

Audio Support – Sound Passes Through

This converter carries both video and audio. Specifically, the HDMI audio signal is converted and sent through the SCART connection. Therefore, you get sound through your TV’s speakers. For instance, game sounds from a PS3 play correctly. Similarly, dialogue from a Fire Stick movie is audible. As a result, no separate audio cables are needed.

If you experience audio issues, check your source device’s audio settings. Consequently, set to stereo PCM output.

Compact and Lightweight – Easy to Hide

The converter is small and discreet. Specifically, it is about the size of a pack of cards. Therefore, it fits easily behind a TV or in a media cabinet. For instance, Velcro it to the back of an old TV. Similarly, tuck it next to a DVD player. As a result, it does not clutter your setup.

The included HDMI cable is available in 1m or 2m. Consequently, you can place the converter where it is most convenient.

Not for Copyright Protected Content – HDCP Issues

Some HDMI sources use HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). For example, certain streaming devices and Blu-ray players require HDCP compliance. This converter may not work with HDCP-protected content. Therefore, if your screen goes blank, HDCP may be the cause. For instance, some versions of the Fire Stick or Sky Box may have issues. As a result, test with your specific devices.

For best results, use with game consoles and computers, which typically do not use HDCP. Consequently, these work most reliably.

Great for Retro Gaming – PS2, PS3, Original Xbox  (Hdmi to Scart Adapter)

Retro gaming enthusiasts value this converter. Specifically, it allows modern HDMI consoles to connect to old CRT monitors and TVs. For instance, a PS3 connected to a CRT TV via SCART gives an authentic nostalgic feel. Similarly, an Xbox 360 can be played on an old portable TV. As a result, you get the best of both worlds: modern games on classic displays.

The downscaled image has a softer, nostalgic look. Consequently, many gamers prefer it for retro titles.

Works with Laptops – Presentations on Old Projectors

Schools, community centres, and offices sometimes have old projectors with SCART inputs. This converter allows a modern laptop to connect. For example, a teacher with a Windows laptop can output HDMI to the converter. The converter sends SCART to the old projector. As a result, presentations can still be given without upgrading the projector.

The converter supports standard resolutions. Consequently, most laptops will work.

Affordable Solution – No Need to Replace Old TVs

Replacing a perfectly good old TV costs money and creates e-waste. This converter costs a fraction of a new TV. Specifically, it allows you to continue using your existing equipment. Therefore, it is an economical and environmentally friendly choice. For instance, keep that old kitchen TV working with a Fire Stick. Keep that caravan TV useful. As a result, you save money and reduce waste.

The optional HDMI cable adds value. Consequently, you have everything you need.

Note on Power – Use a Quality USB Adapter

The converter requires a clean 5V USB power source. Specifically, a poor-quality USB adapter may cause flickering or signal loss. Therefore, use a reputable phone charger or a USB port on a TV. For instance, an Apple or Samsung charger works well. A cheap unknown brand may not. As a result, ensure stable power for reliable operation.

If you experience issues, try a different USB power source. Consequently, troubleshoot power first.
