Actually, a recent unofficial 'extension' of the SCART (Peritel) standard
includes S-Video, with Luminance / Sync on the normal video pin (21 if
memory serves) and Chrominance on the red video pin (15). This is the case
at least on my Hitachi 21" TV. I have converted a breakout box to provide
the chrominance input instead of video out, so that I can connect S-Video
devices to the TV without requiring 4 pin mini DIN connectors.
