The yellow RCA plug goes to a television - the composite input on the TV. Any coax cable will do for a short run. If you want to output to a monitor - use/get a video card. you might check over with the MythTV folks - they cover lots of hardware configurations: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ Drivers that use the composite out are pretty sketchy, for the longest time the NVidia Linux drivers just ignored it - I don't know if that has changed, composite out on a computer is definitely a legacy port, likely deprecated. good luck and just because it is there, doesn't mean you have to use it - it isn't a mountain... ;) On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 3:00 PM, Stephen Partington wrote: > Not that I have heard of. > > On Jan 25, 2014 2:59 PM, "Michael Havens" wrote: >> >> thanks for your help. are you saying there is no way to redirect video >> output to say the mic or headphones jack? >> >> :-)~MIKE~(-: >> >> >> On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 12:01 PM, Stephen Partington >> wrote: >>> >>> well this is a little more interesting.
