Video audio separation

Tue Apr 19, 2016 4:08 pm

I'm working on my first Pi build. My problem is tryin to seperate the audio and video from the trrs jack on my Pi 3. I need to seperate the two so that I can output the video to a composite screen and the audio out to a mini amplifier. I'm working on a Gameboy project. Would it be easier just desolser the trrs plug and solder directly? Thanks.

You just need the correct TRRS4 cable:

Ok thanks. I found a cord on amazon that would seperate the signals. The only problem is, that's another connector inside the case. Is it possible to directly solder to the board? Also, if I use the cord that I purchased, cut the rca connector from the end in order to solder the cable directly to the input cable of the video screen, do I just solder the center signal wire or does the shielding have to be soldered as well? I'm trying eliminate bulk. Wanting to do something similar with the micro usb port and solder the power leads directly to the board.
