Video Port Pinout

The cable plug uses a 24-pin dual-edge connector (.100 DIP).

When making an RGB cable:

  • Wire RGB to pins 4B, 7A, 5A (respectively).
  • Wire RGB ground to pin 10B.
  • Wire CSYNC to pin 5B with a 680 ohm, 1/4 watt resistor and a 220uF/16v capacitor in series.
  • Make sure to not share video ground with audio ground. Audio ground will be tied to pin 2A.
