Notes

A kit giving a ColecoVision both composite and component video output, from Harvey deKleine - a name better known in this community for the CV 1.2, a complete replacement ColecoVision board he began in 2013.

What it adds

  • Composite carries the whole picture on one wire, which softens it and blurs colour into brightness.
  • Component splits it across three, keeping colour and brightness apart - a plainly better picture on a display that accepts it.

The console leaves the factory with RF alone, so both are additions. Proper video output was among the things deKleine's replacement board set out to fix, which places this kit in the same line of work.
