[linux-dvb] Re: DVB-S Rev1.5 RGB out nightmare

[Michal Dobrzynski <michal@appl.com.au>]

That doesn't quite make sense to me as pin 1 on the male connector 
corresponds to pin 1 on the female connector and so forth through all 
the pins. When I compared it to the male connector I wired up for the 
Matrox G550 the red, green, blue, etc pins went into the red, green, 
blue etc sockets.

Perhaps you have worked with mislabeled or unlabeled female SCART 
connectors in the past that you think it should be this way? If I 
followed your advice then the signals would not correspond on the male 
and female connectors and I could potentially damage the DVB-S card (or 
at least this is what I fear).

Anyone else have any comments with regards to this?

Regards,
Michal
