Hey all,
This might be a silly question? But please no silly answer!
If I wanted to source the best composite signal from the Falcon motherboard, where would I take it from. (Please I don't mean from the output connector, I mean specifically on the motherboard, the best source component)
Cheers
Best place to source composite
Re: Best place to source composite
Not even sure falcon has C-video.. possible as its driven from the MC1377... but its only called C-SYNC on there.. Even so, should really just use the video connector...

Re: Best place to source composite
So it looks like R31 would be the best place to solder a wire?
By the way, as far as I know the RF modulator takes a composite signal from MC1377 to create the RF. C-Sync should not only be carrying a sync signal, but also the composite image.

Re: Best place to source composite
You would have to scope the signal, and on the monitor port.. the port should have a filter on it, so "soldering direct" could actually be worse.. If you want better video.. why not just use RGB.. composite is almost as bad as RF!

Re: Best place to source composite
I don't want to use composite as my main signal source. I just want it as a secondary output. I ripped out my modulator internals and fitted a standard composite jack. I guess I'll try wiring it to the output jack again, it's just I did try before without any luck. I might have done it wrong though, so I'll just have another go.
Re: Best place to source composite
I'd probably go for either leg of L28 depending on whether you want to be upstream or downstream of the ferrite bead.
