EGA composite daughterboard

Daughterboard for EGA feature connector, providing CVBS composite video encoder. With this board you can connect your EGA videocard to TV using two RCA jacks, which is usually unused on most EGA cards. One jack is feed by NTSC encoder, other by PAL.

For proper work you must set card to CGA-compatible mode. If card tries to output EGA-Hi-Res modes, composite output will be unsupported by most monitors.

Please note that CGA composite colors will not display properly.
