svideo to tv?

[Kenny]

If a display adaptor has a svideo output, can I somehow connect that to my
video or TV?
Will I need an adaptor?

Depends on the TV - some modern ones, and quite a lot of Videos have an
S-video connection. It started in an up-spec of VHS videos.

Note that you will have to use a resolution and refresh rate that the TV
can cope with - meaning usually something low like 640x480 at 60Hz,
though you *might* get by on 800 x600 on a good TV. Or 1024 x 768 on
an HDTV

Yes, you need a convertor. For example, this one:

If your TV does NOT support s-video (old TV perhaps?), then convert S-video
to composite first. Take a look at this page:

Next connect the composite signal to the SCART <-> composite/s-video
convertor.

Some SCART socket connections provide input for S-Video (My TV has one
that does and one that does not). So it is worth looking in the manual
for details of pin usage, and in its Setup menus for mention of S-Video
input. It would probably have to be a *fairly* recent TV to do so
