No need. HDMI is another plug and has nothing to do with SCART.

Do you get visual through a scart lead?

A scart connector is a European standard for video, audio and control communication between domestic television equipment. It is used only for standard definition video but supports composite, S-video and component signal formats. It also carries stereo audio and a limited number of control lines. The connection is often bi-directional to allow an output of a television to be routed to a video recorder as well as from the recorder to the television. The scart connection is being replaced by HDMI in new equipment so the days of the 21 pin scart connector are numbered. The signals are compatible with those on phono (RCA) connectors so equipment that does not have a scart connector can still be linked using a scart to phono break out lead.

My DVD player is Alba ive lost my scart lead for the back do i lead to buy a new DVD player?

Absolutely not. If the DVD player has a scart connector, then simply obtain another cable and you're back in business. If the player has phone connectors (RCA jacks) then you will need a phono to scart lead. Pick one up at the local electronics retailer or supermarket. For readers outside Europe, a scart connector is a 21 pin connector that carries analog video, audio and control lines between DVD players, set top boxes etc to a television. The cables are bi-directional, so the television can also output it's display picture and deliver it to a VCR for recording. The idea of the cable is great. The connector itself is one of the least robust connectors in the video industry. The large diameter cables are quite capable of ripping the connector out of its socket and loss of signal was far more common than it should have been. HDMI is now replacing the scart connector in most new equipment.

Are RF leads inferior to Scart leads?

The short answer is yes, RF leads are inferior to scart leads. There are several reasons. A scart lead is used in Europe as a combined video, audio and control connection between video equipment. All signals are carried without any encoding onto to a radio frequency carrier so they avoid the slight losses that RF encoding and decoding generate. Scart leads are also capable of carrying S-video, component and RGB signals as well as composite. Composite uses a single wire or channel for all brightness and colour information and this limits the quality of the image. Using S-video, comoponent or RGB allows more information to be carried and the quality of the image is better as a result. RF leads will only carry a composite signal and will therefore never be capable of the better quality of the other signal formats. Scart leads can also carry switching information so a television will automatically select a Scart source when a valid signal is present on the lead.


What do you need to connect your vga PC to a HDMI tv a converter or an adapter?

Many modern televisions have analog inputs as well as the digital HDMI input. It is worth checking the manual to see if the television supports RGB inputs with separate horizontal and vertical sync signals. If the television has an RGBHV input, the VGA signal may well work through it.If the television only has HDMI inputs, the PC will need a DVI display output. This is a digital signal format that is compatible with HDMI. A DVI to HDMI lead should connect the two without problems. Note that HDMI also carries audio on the same cable but DVI does not. To connect the audio, a separate lead will be needed to connect to the analog input that is normally linked with at least one HDMI input. Once again, check the manual to see if one of the inputs has a selectable analog audio input.DVI outputs can be obtained as expansion cards for desktop PCs and as USB devices for use with laptops.Some newer PCs actually have HDMI connectors built in. Laptops sometimes have them fitted to save space on connectors. If this is the case, a single HDMI lead is likely to carry both video and audio signals.
