The display connector

The display connector can be used for the connection of a
VGA or a CVBS monitor. Only one of these two
possibilities can be activated at a time. The VGA output
has a resolution of 680x480 pixels in a non-interlaced
mode. The CVBS mode is either CCIR or RS170
compatible depending on the mode set via software. Both
VGA and CVBS outputs support a non-destructive colour
overlay. For connecting a VGA monitor a standard cable
can be used. For the CVBS monitor connection no
standard cable is available. A user made cable must be
connected between the connector pins 9 and 10 where pin
9 is the CVBS connection and pin 10 the ground
connection. A 75 ohm coax cable is preferred.
