Hint:
Need Composite output? Cheap S-Video to Composite adapters can be found in most electronic stores, and can be built using the appropriate connectors and just one capacitor.

  • a proprietary mini-DIN socket, which needs a proprietary adapter that comes in form of a cable
  • a standard S-Video Port
