S-Video scheme

[Materion]

Hello,

 

Anyone have scheme to make S-Video cable to Atari 65XE ? It would have S-Video plug + 2xchinch for audio. 

 

Thanks in advance ! :).

You can buy a ready made cable from https://www.8bitclassics.com/product/atari-xlxe-5-pin-din-to-s-video-composite-av-cable/

 

I don't know if the Chroma is connected to the video output port on the 65XE. It wasn't on my 800XL, which I needed to connect when installing the UAV

Chroma! not Luma

Here's one I made earlier

Out of an old S-Video lead and Audio Lead.

 

Most important if you make your own is SHIELDING, failure to have a decent shield will drastically affect the video signal

XE's do have fully connected SVideo as standard (except XEGS) but is worth doing some minor internal component mods to further improve the image quality.

I like the "Ultravideo XE S-Video mod"

Here is an image of the monitor pinout:

Hello, in these schematics its the ports in computer/TV? Or its cable plugs in these schematics ?

It's the cable plugs. See where it says "male" on both of them? S-Vid and Atari Video DIN cable plugs are both male.

You can also figure it out by comparing the DIN pinout on that page with the computer video connector pinout above; they're opposites.

You can tell if you look at the pin order, the pin numbers on male/female connectors are reversed so they match when  plugged into each other.

I can vouch for the cable from 8bit classics - good heavy duty quality cable.
