Composite Video Output (J9)
The composite video output provides RS170 output with the following nominal characteristics. See Figure A-1.

Output impedance | = | 75 ohms, dc-coupled
Sync level | = | 0 V
Black level | = | approximately 0.3 V with 75-ohm load
White level | = | approximately 1.0 V with 75-ohm load

The composite sync waveform meets EIA RS170 standards.

The vertical interval is six equalizing pulses, six vertical sync pulses, and six more equalizing pulses. The timing is as follows.

Equalizing pulse width | = | 2.3 µs ± 50 ns
Vertical pulse width | = | 27.28 µs ± 200 ns
Horizontal pulse width | = | 4.71 µs ± 50 ns
Horizontal blank width | = | 11.84 µs ± 50 ns, 80 column mode
= | 12.34 µs ± 50 ns, 132 column mode
Front porch | = | 1.54 µs ± 50 ns

FCC Notice

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subset J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference.
