SCART splitter

Post by Obiwanshinobi »

I saw a cheap 3-in-1-out SCART splitter the other day, but it doesn't seem to have any switch alternating between its three sockets. What might happen when 2 or three signal sources get switched ON at once? Will the TV be fed multiple signals?

Forget them, they're junk. I had one and you could turn on the Megadrive and the SNES would power up too, due to the voltage that leaked across from the SCART signal pins.
