RCA Video?

[jwood]

Can someone link me to an RCA video cord on amazon that'll work with the Pi? I can't seem to find what it needs.
Thanks.

Almost any screened cable with the correct connector on both ends will work to a degree, although a proper coaxial cable as shown in Dougie's link would be close to ideal. If you're getting no picture at all, maybe your composite video output isn't enabled?

Which Pi? The model B+ moved the video into the audio connector. An ipod 3.5mm - 3x rca av cable should work for that based on my reading, although the left and right audio may be reversed. I haven't had a chance to test this, although I have a cable on order.

Here's a possible cable for the B+ model ONLY.

For the model A or B, the rca-rca cables should work.

If you have not got a picture on composite with the right cable, try disconnecting any HDMI monitor you have attached when booting. I read something somewhere about holding down a key on the keyboard while booting, but don't know how that works.

Sincerely,

If you're on a B+ (or anything else for that matter) we've just had a large discussion about RCAs: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 91&t=82560

It might be interesting for you to have a scroll through.

To be complete:

Keys pressed after boot in noobs may help to see something on your display:

1 to select HDMI preferred mode
2 to select HDMI safe mode
3 to select Composite PAL mode (for instance, Europe, China, India and Australia)
4 to select Composite NTSC mode (for instance, North America, South Korea, and Taiwan)

It's 3 for PAL colour TVs or 4 for NTSC color (no u) TVs
