Atari XE RCA or S-Video Output schematics?

[Tempest]

Cool, Atari 8-bit, the best 8-bitter I was a bit dissapointed when I sold my Atari XL and got myself a Commodore 64.

You can find more info here about the s-video cable.

How about something like this for your Atari

If you still have questions PM me and I'll check the pinouts of my S-Video cable.

I just checked the pinouts and here are the pinouts as seen from the outside of my s-video cable:



pin 1 atari to pin 1 s-video
pin 3 atari to pin 3 s-video
pin 4 atari to pin 4 s-video

Hope this helps.

I think wiring won't work with video wires; need soldering to get it to work as interference seems to set in if you just twist/tape wires around.  Better to get an already built converter (svideo<->DIN).  Anyone built this without the capacitor?

I build my cable without the capacitor, I've got a very sharp and stable picture on my TFT monitor.

I did however modify my Atari 800XL with some parts of the Super Video upgrade for the XL series.

More info here and here. AFAIK this upgrade is not needed for the XE series.
