The RHS ends are component video RCA by the looks of them, but the other end is difficult to say. What is the equipment?

The other end might be 3.5mm jack.


Pic just as bad

I would say the top one will be a 3.5mm to Composite Video & Audio output, using this type of cable..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-...214057&sr=8-12


The YBpPr one will be a 3.5mm socket output to HD Component Video, using this sort of cable..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Camco...3214259&sr=1-3

But you could probably get away with using the same cheapo type of cable as the 3.5mm to Composite/Audio, but the RCA plugs wont be coloured correctly, and cable impendence will be wrong so video quality would probably suffer...

It would be the 3.5mm to Composite Video/Audio output that you could then plug into an appropriate Scart block for connecting to a scart only TV.. The YBpPr (Component) video output is HD video, and can only be connected to a Component video input, and this output doesnt carry the audio, you would need to take the audio from the other 3.5mm output..

Be aware though, some device manufacturers wire up their 4 pole 3.5mm outputs in a proprietary way, meaning that a third party cable might not be wired the same way around, in other words, you might just need to swap the RCA plugs around to get them to work.. (like, the yellow Composite Video RCA Plug might be outputting the Left Audio instead)
