Level up with a PACKAPUNCH PRO RGB SCART! This cable supplies an RGB video signal and stereo sound from your Sony Playstation 2 / 3  which is far superior than the original video cable. This cable is screened to minimise external interference and cable crosstalk between signals. This is achieved by using our new PACKAPUNCH cable which has individually shielded wires for RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC, audio left and right and also the DC voltage line which is used for RGB selection on your video receiving equipment.

Unlike our PS1 CSYNC cable this PS2 cable does not require capacitors inside the SCART cable as these are located inside the PlayStation 2 console itself, therefore, we offer this separate cable to correct match the output of your PS2 console. 

This cable is wired for CSYNC also known as composite sync,  which has a built in video sync separator circuit and is powered directly by the console.

Why upgrade to a PACKAPUNCH cable?:

• Protects against external magnetic interference. 
• Protects against crosstalk between individual signals inside the cable.
  
• Available in various lengths. All cables which are not 1.8m are built to order, for example if you choose 3m you will need to wait a few working days.

Why use CSYNC?:

• For monitors which require CSYNC to function, like the Sony PVM 2950G, PVM 2950QM, NEC Multisync 4PG and XM29 plus.
• When using Switching Extron Crosspoint Matrix Switcher.
• If you're a CSYNC FanBoy.
  

CSYNC will also work on most regular modern television sets. (This cable is for a CRT only if you want to use a lightgun). For further information on CSYNC please our Demystifying RGB Sync guide.

Features:

• No Tuning required, just plug and play.

This CSYNC version has a sync separating circuit inside the SCART plug which achieves a CSYNC signal without modifying your PlayStation. This is attenuated with a 470 ohm resistor on the output.

Compatible with:

• SCART enabled televisions.
• SCART to HDMI converters that support RGB video. Some don't, so please read this.
• SCART to component video converters.
• XRGB-mini Framemeister via EuroSCART to mini adapter.
• OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter).

Frequently asked questions:

        Q. Is this PlayStation SCART cable compatible with all console regions?
        A. Yes, this cable works with all PlayStations 2 consoles released world wide, including PAL and NTSC versions. We do supply separate cables for the PS1 and PS2, as the PS1 doesn't have the 200uF capacitors between the video encoder and the A/V output socket inside the console but the PS2 does, therefore,  our PS1 cables have capacitors inside the SCART plug and our PS2 cables does not. This is to ensure maximum electrical compatibility for each console,

        Q. What is the CSYNC version for?
        A. Mainly for up-scalers like the Framemeister XRGB-mini and professional monitors, like the range of Sony PVM and BVM’s, but will work with regular SCART TV’s and SCART to HDMI up-scaling boxes.

        Q. Does the CSYNC version work with an external sync cleaner like the Sync Strike?
        A. The CSYNC version has a sync cleaner built into the SCART plug, and yes you can use this in series with a second sync cleaner, which you find in some SCART adapter cables like the EuroSCART to Mini adapter and EuroSCART to BNC adapter, and also the Sync Strike.

        Q. Does the Light gun port on this cable allow you to play on Modern Flatscreen TV like, LCD, plasmas etc?
        A. No, as light guns for the PlayStation only work on the old style CRT televisions and not the modern flat screens.

Side note 1: Not suitable for DVD playback, as this is not a component video cable. If you have region modified your console then we offer no support. 

Side note 2: Make sure your console is set to output RGB video and not component video, otherwise your RGB SCART cable will not function correctly. To select RGB mode please remove the game disk from your Playstation then select SYSTEM CONFIGURATION > COMPONENT VIDEO OUT > RGB and not Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr. 

Side note 3: We have received a number of enquires stating that the Playstation cannot output CSYNC. This is correct, the Playstation cannot output CSYNC, however, our CSYNC version of this RGB SCART cable has a built in sync separator circuit inside the SCART plug which takes the "sync over composite video" from pin 6 of the Playstation's AV socket output and then the Sync separator circuit extracts CSYNC signal and sends this to the output of the SCART plug and the composite video part of the signal is disregarded. Here is the path of the sync signal from the PS to the SCART cable using a sync cleaner. PS AV socket (pin 6) ---> Sync over composite video (CSYNC + composite video) ---> sync cleaner circuit (removes composite video) ---> CSYNC only---> SCART (pin 20), BINGO CSYNC!
