| 1 | Ground (Y) | Ground |
| 2 | Ground (C) | Ground |
| 3 | Y - Intensity (Luminance) | Signal |
| 4 | C - Color (Chrominance) | Signal through 470pF Ceramic Capacitor |
Notes
- Larger capacitor values will also work, but cause picture to become "softer".
- The impedances and signal levels not matched exactly right, but near enough to work acceptably.
