7pin S-Video lead

AirlieBird

I've been searching all day for a 7 pin S-Video to Scart lead, preferably with phono leads as well, but to no avail. All I can find are 4 pin S-Video leads. Does anyone know where I can get one of these elusive leads?

That's because there are only 4 active signals, Ground + Luminance, Ground + Chrominance. There are no other pins, not even for sound as that has it's own lead. S-video is not directly compatible with a scart plug, if you dont have S-video in/out on the tv/video you will have to use a scart to scart lead.
Non-standard 7-pin mini-DIN connectors are used on laptops and video cards. The 7-pin socket accepts the 4-pin plug (unlike the standard 7-pin socket) and the S-video signals are available on the matching pins. When a 7-pin plug is inserted, one of the extra pins carries a CVBS composite video signal for non S-video displays.
