I use this normal rca phono av leads plugged into this ... use rca/BNC adapters to plug rca to the emotia's BNC. Probably cheaper/neater than a pro/custom cable...

(ebay can prolly turn up the cables and adapters for a couple of £... if you don't already have these)

I found this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... Track=true

Do you think that would do the job ?

The cable you linked on eBay is VERY LIKELY the wrong direction. You can buy it, but you have resolder the Sync pin inside the Scart end of the cable.

you have to exchange Pins 19 and 20. One will be empty, the other one will be wired to the sync cable.

I have no idea what a cable of this factory wiring would accomplish. It's a A/V Scart to RCA wiring with an additional cable for video from RCA to Scart.... very weird.

You need:

7/11/15 for RGB
20 (not 19!) for Sync
17 for GND.

No need for additional ground lines, but you can wire 5, 9, 13 on GND if you feel like it.
