is hdmi cable better than scart?

Question

bt vision box connected to 42 lcd

Answer 1

SCART is an analog, standard definition (or pseudo composite in propritary format) multifunction A/V connection cable designed in the 1970s.



HDMI is a digital high definition video (1080p) and multichannel audio A/V connection cable designed in the 21st century.



If you have the option to use HDMI it will give far better performance, just don't feel you have to buy an expensive cable ... you don't. At short distances (under 4-5 m) a budget cable will work identically to an expensive one.

Answer 2

HDMI is a purely digial interface standard designed for HDTV. It not only carries the digital picture and surround-sound signals but also the copyright protection information and device control signals for suitably matched 'boxes'.



The SCART system was developed about 20 years ago as a means of carrying purely analogue signals consisting of Stereo sound and pictures in one of three different video formats: S-Video, Red/Green/Blue and Composite. It also carries a basic form of device control signal. It cannot carry HDTV or "Component Video" signals.



SCART cannot carry HDTV signals. However, the BT Vision box is not an HDTV source because the material is derived from Freeview (which is still not HD) and they don't transmit their pay-per-view stuff in HD. (see link below).



You cannot create HD detail where none exists, so in practice, you will not get any improvement in picture from using HDMI cables out of a BT box. The pictures that you will get will still be very good.



Spend your money on a good SCART cable for your Bt Vision box and leave the HDMI socket on your telly free for a genuine DH source such as a Blu-ray player or Sky HD box.



Note that it is not possible to have a cable with an HDMI connector at one end and a SCART or phono connector at the other. The electrical signals are not compatible or interchangable.

Answer 3

I have a situation, where the Samsung analog channels get distorted on a few channels, whenever the HDMI connector is between it and the Sat Rcvr, a Faval make. Taking RGB from Sat Rcvr to Scart into the TV, shows so small a change in quality, as to not matter. Scart on Sat Rcvr feeds bedroom TV. 2nd Scart of TV is ancient VCR...

By a mile, HDMI is a pure digital video connection, whilst scart is just analog. It's like comparing a ferrari to a larda.
