Do you call scart proper?  No, let the French keep that silly
invention along with SECAM.  A scart input has pins for some selection
of RGB, composite and svideo, but never all since they share some
pins.  If your STB happens to use a different flavor of scart than
your TV you'll end up with a B/W picture or even worse things.

I consider any analog connection a legacy technology.
