Yeno Super Cassette Vision

Hi.

I have a Yeno Super Cassette Vision (thats the PAL version) with its original scart cable. Since over here in Mexico, we dont use scart, i bought one of those scart to s-video adapters. The thing is that i do get sound from the system, but no video at all. After playing a bit with the tv settings and upping the brightness, now i get a very dark image, and can barely see the game. Has anyone had success using a Yeno SCV with one of this scart to s-video things, do they work at all?

Here is a pic of the adapter i am using:

Thanks in advance.

Could you open it up and post image of the inside PCB back and front to help better diagnose possible problems.

Sure Helder, i hope these are good enough:

Hmm don't work, could you upload them to a site like http://postimg.org/

Sorry, here they go:

If i connect it to the tv through the composite plug from the adapter, i get zero image. If i do so by the s-video port, i get a very dark image.

That converter does not "convert" RGB to SVideo/Composite
What it does is map the pins as in/out to the Scart as needed assuming the original signal uses Scart for Svideo signaling:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCART
Scart Pin7/15 and Pin19/20 could be used for Svideo up/down link instead of their usual meaning.

Oh, i get it. I gues the Super Cassette Vision doesnt have the signals for s-video, then, since its scart cable conects to it by and 8 pin DIN plug. I guess i will have to get a real scart to s-video converter box, or better yet, scart to component.

Thanks phoenix!

Check out the converter linked to in my signature, very high quality and not had any issues with it - no pots inside that need to be adjusted, it "just works".

Thanks, i will check it out. I had just modded a few consoles for s-video, and bought a bunch of s-video cables. But since i have to buy a RGB converter for the Super Cassette Vision, i might as well mod my other consoles for RGB and use it with them to. Maybe better get a RGB to component converter, instead of RGB to s-video.

It may, I don't know. 8 pin DIN has enough to handle Y/C (Svideo) as well as audio (maybe mono? for the Yeno) and Composite and maybe also RGB, you only need 6 video signal (RGB + Y/C + Composite) + 1 mono audio + 1 GND = 8.
But I doubt that is the case, maybe only RGB or only Y/C is available, or maybe none of them and they used the Scart just to convey composite .... you'll have to check inside to see what's connected.

I am about to order a RGB to component converter, since finding something like a Sony PVM locally is almost imposible. But yesterday someone offered me an ULTRAK 21 inch CCTV monitor (used for surveillance?). The guy says it takes RGB and S-Video. Are this things good at all, or a piece of crap?. I think i already know the answer, but would like to know from people with more knowledge. Hes alking 30 dollars for it.

Problem is, its not in my city, so i cant try it first. I am waiting for pics o the video conections.

A quick lookup turned up this listing of the TV of 3 different models and all take composite and S-Video and no mention of RGB:

Look at the pictures of the manuals for what it has technically.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, no mention of RGB and from the only pic he sent me, its the exact same model on the link you gave me. Given that they are used for surveillance, i wonder if these monitors have decent pic quality. For 30 dollars, might be worth checking out...
Thanks Helder.
