[Coco] Need help with composite output for CoCo

[Jamie]

Ed,
Here are pics of the two circuits I'm playing with and a pic of the more complex one, which is supposed to be the TV Buff circuit.  Both produce only a black screen. I also tried on an older CRT TV with video input with same results.

Hi Jamie, Flat screen or not you should get a picture if you are generating a valid composite signal. Can you link the schematic of the circuit you’re using and pics of your installation? - Ed > On Feb 14, 2015, at 7:37 AM, Jamie <reinsj at nbnet.nb.ca> wrote: > > Hi All, > > So I'm trying to build a composite video converter for a coco 1 and I can't seem to get it to work. > I started with a simple design from Hot CoCo which uses a couple of transistors and a few > resistors and then tried Dennis' TV Buff. > My question is, should the output work on a modern flat screen LCD TV or do monitors with > composite input work differently?
