Follow this thread, because I'm going to be dropping some truth bombs.

Whether you used fixed gain video drivers or do it how NEC/Hudson did, there's more to getting proper composite video out of a PC-E/TG16 than plugging an RCA cable into the expansion slot. That's bbbaaaaaad!

1) I've seen guides and even products from companies such as @Hyperkin which passively connect to the rear expansion port of the TG16/PC-E with RCA jacks for composite video.

COMPOSITE VIDEO OFF OF THE EXPANSION PORT IS NOT SUITABLE TO INTERFACE DIRECTLY TO A TV! PERIOD!

2) The "CVBS" you're getting off of the expansion pin is a "muxxed", unattenuated version of composite video which interleaves the luma, chroma, and sub-carrier signals into one, codified signal. This muxxing is done OUTSIDE of the DAC. But that doesn't make it "TV" friendly.

Everything in this picture represents what's in every PC-E console (minus the portables)

Pins 26, 35, and 40 are chroma, colorburst, and luma outputs. These are weighted, mixed and staged, all the way to R11 where they're muxed into a single, codified signal & output 2 the exp.

This is the crucial part that's missing.

This is the final staging amplifier that is required to properly drive the muxxed, composite video to a proper amplitude with PROPER impedance control and PROPER DC rejection.

You HAVE TO HAVE THIS SHIT. @Hyperkin, I'm talking to you.

Let's take this baby a part and see if Hyperkin are actually doing proper analysis whilst designing these things.

Surprise, surprise.

No, they didn't. Neither video OR audio are being transmitted properly, much less even terminated properly!!!!!!

I would say this is unbelievable, but it isn't.

So many "Youtubers" have either blocked me or banned me because I point out things like this.

I will never back down from this. It's not right, PERIOD.

@Hyperkin - What is the fucking deal with this? Have you not an engineer who even looks at this shit? C'mon, guys.

"It's composite video, nobody cares."

Fuck you and that is absolute bullshit. I care. Tons of people care. Tons of people don't give a fuck about high fidelity video.

Plus, The HU6260 (PC-E/TG16) generates the BEST LOOKING COMPOSITE VIDEO YOU'LL EVER SEE. It's AWESOME!

NEC/Hudson designed all of this stuff. The schematics are all over the internet.

Jesus Christ, Ste Kulov of HDRectalvision even offers a hand-drawing of it on his worthless, pathetic website. https://www.hdretrovision.com/free-stuff#tg16
