Question

Right, here we go, i have a ps2,gamecube and xbox, at the moment my ps2 is connected to my tv with monster cable s-video leads(at the front of the tv), and my xbox is connected to one of the scart sockets at the back of the tv(of which i have 2,but only one is rgb) with the proper rgb scart lead, but i have just recently bought a gamecube, which is connected to the tv with just the leads that came with it, using the other scart socket, and this socket is not rgb.
So what i need to know is can i get some sort of adapter to plug into my single rgb scart socket that will give me multiple rgb scart sockets, so then i can get the gamecube rgb scart lead and have both the xbox and gamecube plugged into rgb at the same time.
Hope this makes sense, and i hope someone can help.

P.S. i know you can get adapters, but can you get rgb adapters.

Thanks.

Try a SCART extender lead from any good TV shop.

They have n inputs and n outputs with a switch bank to select input and outputs.

They're normally fully wired, but best to check before buying.

Scart extenders will not work properly....ie. you cant leave all you inputs in the mutiblock, and try to use just one......you get picture interference from the other scarts (even if there is no power to them). You can only have ONE scart plugged into the multiblock at any one time.

As far as I am aware no FULLY switched RGB blocks are available. The only ones I have seen are switched AV scart multiblocks.

Keene electronics do some Scart swicth boxes which are allegedly OK for RGB.
