No it doesnt.

 

Pin 16 of the SCART tells the TV it is RGB.

 

There is no such functionality for S-Video switching unfortunately.

 

Many SCART leads will bleed enough of the composite signal onto the Luma lead to give a colour picvture even though it *should* have been Black & White due to incorrect selection. Often though, the image will look like the colour is slightly washed out and there may be moire patterning as well. Switching to S-Video gives a crystal clear image.

 

Its a real pity that when S-Video was added to SCART they didnt adapt the spec for Pin16 to signal S-Video. They changed the definiton of Pin 8 from a simple Internal/External signal to a tri-level signal indicating Internal/Ext16:9/Ext 4:3

Interestingly, mine auto-detects RGB but feed it a composite signal when
S-Video is selected and you get a monochrome picture.
