Power Up

There is a standard IEC PC-like power connector, no need for custom cables.

Video

Fortunatelly, CDTV has all types of video connectors: RF, Composite and RGB.

The best quality can be achieved using RGB connector. It is possible to connect it to SCART or VGA inputs.

For VGA you have to use a monitor that supports 15 kHz horizontal sync.

On the Internet there are suggestions to build a direct RGB-VGA pin-to-pin converter. I have not tried that.

 

Instead I purchased a commercial adapter. It included a 7408 chip, most probably to adjust the HSYNC and VSYNC voltage levels to TTL standard.

You may also want to consult these schematics from a68k.de and an article on video synchronization.
