The Automatic Scart Switch

Published by

Here's a new guide that was posted @ Tvtool:

If you have connected the TV-out of your graphics card to the scart connector of your TV this little electronic circuit might be interesting. It enables TVTool to automatically switch your TV to the appropriate AV channel when TV mode is turned on. When it is turned off again the TV switches back to normal tuner mode. This is possible because there is special pin on the scart connector which is made for this purpose. Especially when the TV has several scart connectors this is a comfortable way, because you don't have to use your remote control and go through a number of AV channels until the right one is enabled. This is also nice in conjunction with the multiple soundcard support of TVTool. All you have to do is to turn on TV mode, everything else is done automatically.
