Audio/Video Connector ===================== .. figure:: ../media/hardware/hardware_av_plug_01.png :alt: 8-pin DIN plug location .. figure:: ../media/hardware/hardware_av_plug_02.jpg :alt: 8-pin DIN plug *Note:* The connector used is a full size 8-pin 262° DIN, also known as the 'horse-shoe' type. A 270° DIN plug does *NOT* fit without violence. The 8-pin DIN (audio/video) connector can output several different video signals, for each type you need a special assembled cable. **Output signals** - Composite (CVBS) (PAL) - S-Video (PAL) - RGB (PAL) *The Composite and S-Video cables are the same as you use for the original Commodore 64.* Pinout ------ .. figure:: ../media/din-8.png :alt: 8-pin DIN plug === =============== ======== Pin Modulated Color RGB Mode === =============== ======== 1 Luma (Y) Green 2 Ground Ground 3 Audio Out Left Audio Out Left 4 Composite (Y+C) Red 5 Audio Out Right Audio Out Right 6 Chroma (C) Blue 7 Not used CSync 8 Not used Fast Switching === =============== ======== Audio ----- The audio outputs have consumer electronic line levels (Line Out) and need to be connected to an external amplifier. Video ----- The video signals on pin 1, 4 and 6 have a source impedance of 75 Ohms, with standard 1V-peak video levels. In the modulated color mode, Luma and Composite contain sync information (-0.3V), while Chroma does not. The video blanking of the VIC output has been corrected, and is now in accordance with specification. The PAL output is non-interlaced, with a field rate of 50.2 Hz, and line rate of 15.639 kHz. The Fast Switching output is a 1.5V fixed 'high' output signal (when terminated with 75 Ohms), that is used on SCART to enable RGB mode. The CSYNC output is a sync-only output that is needed on the SCART signal as a replacement of the composite video or luma signal. In RGB mode, there is *no* sync information in either R, G or B; i.e. no 'sync-on-green'.
