thru adapter so there is no conversion within the adapter itself. It's hard to find those adapters these days, though. Especially ones with audio jacks.
This one seems to be available from Amazon.de but some of the comments indicate it's wired incorrectly (or maybe some people have misunderstood its purpose).
Thanks for responding so quickly! Yes, I misquoted the wiki, saying "passive" rather than "passthru" (as was written), so I'm sorry about that. And if I had read it properly, yes passthru does imply no conversion needs to be done, so thank you for correcting me!
I'd rather build my own adapter to know it is wired properly and includes audio, but thanks for that link. It would be nice if there is a known-good source to purchase from, but as it is, I have cables I can splice to build it (probably not color-coded for the RCA cables, but I can tape Y, Pb, & Pr labels to them). On second thought, maybe I should just buy the adapter you suggested, and add the audio, since a review mentions that all the SCART pins are populated and can be rewired.
Sorry for this further question, but would a passthru adapter need any of the SCART Sync pins (SYNC_in, HS_in, & VS_in) connected, or being passthru, does it mean that the "Y" can be connected to the SCART's "G-In" while leaving all the Sync pins disconnected? For example, is it possible to have a functioning adapter by just connecting all GND pins in addition to R-In, G-In, B-In, AUD_L, and AUD_R? I wouldn't want to stop you from answering this to satisfy my curiosity, but it should now be a moot point since I decided to just buy the passthru adapter you suggested (with my intention to add two ports to it for audio).
Thanks again!

It’s quite cumbersome, but you can successfully chain those with one of these:
I doubt this would work because marqs already stated that S-Video is not supported, but I would be wrong if that adapter does the passthru (and transcodes to RGB of any sort). It seems most likely that this adapter uses SCART pin 18 for its purposes. I know that's quite an assumption, but just seems likely without further evidence. Composite Video is supported on SCART connectors using pin 18, but pin 18 is connected to GND on the DExx-vd_isl schematic. Due to that, I don't think it would work with the DExx-vd_isl, or even with the original OSSC, but feel free to correct me. On the other hand, the Koryuu transcoder I already have, converts Composite Video and S-Video to Component Video (YPbPr) for the original OSSC, and since YPbPr is supported on the DExx-vd_isl with a passthru adapter, it's my understanding that the transoder makes adapting it possible (with a further passthru adapter, which is what I am asking about).
