I'm in the process of making a homebrew PVR and have a cable STB connected via a SCART->composite cable to a WinTV-PVR 350. This therefore loses the ability to know if the TV picture being sent is in widescreen or 4:3. I was looking into making some form of circuit/device that allowed the computer with the TV card into detect what type of TV picture was being sent via the cable. I know that the 8th pin in a SCART cable is used to send this info (~6v for widescreen, ~12v for 4:3).
This is where I become stuck . I was hoping someone here could recommend a circuit that would be able to connect to a serial port (RS232) and allow me to find out if the SCART cable was sending a widescreen or 4:3 picture.
(PS. I hope this in the correct sub forum )
