S-video is limited to 720x480, or 562 depending on region, in contrast to the Pandora's 800x480. This is a TV limit, not a Pandora limit.I'm not too clued up in how the pandora sends out the tv signal. By the looks of it, it mirrors whatever is on the screen as far as I know. I thought that there should be some mechanism that turned the pandora screen off once you have it connected to a tv, and maybe be able to output to tv at a different resolution. Not sure what resolution the s-video/rca is limited to though.

Exactly why I said it was a TV limit and not a Pandora one. If you find a TV with an analog input that displays more, you can by all means go ahead and display more. Keep in mind, however, that every HDTV I've encountered uses 720 samples per line when upscaling, so even though the TV itself could display more, it doesn't use more from the analog signal. To the best of my knowledge there is no TV that displays more than 720 samples per line, and some will even display fewer. I'd love to hear otherwise, however.TV signal is analogue and therefore has no strictly definable horizontal resolution. It has lines (for PAL it is 625, of which 576 are visible), but no columns. So in theory, sure, it can match the aspect ratio of the Pandora simply by squeezing more information onto each of the lines and getting stretched when in the television;

For those who don't know - composite output is connected to tv-out-1 pin (luminance) and in this state gives black and white picture only. For colour picture we need new kernel. So - I should get BW picture on composite, not colour.
...
Chrominance (chroma or C for short) is the signal used in video systems to convey the color information of the picture, separately from the accompanying luma signal . . . In video, luma, sometimes called luminance, represents the brightness in an image (the "black and white" or achromatic portion of the image). Luma is typically paired with chroma.
In the meantime (until kernel is updated) one can use S-Video with a simple adapter

which is simple implementation of dgame's diagram![]()
Isn't composite supposed to look like that, though?When using an S-video to composite adapter like the one Morn showed above, the picture looks grainy and bad.It could be the adapter though. Need to get a 470pF capacitor to make an S-video to composite adapter in order to test further.

Yes, this is what I have on mind. Although there is no companion for help (if I'm not going to employ my child - for clearance: I'm notPractice is always your friend.
Also you can pack worksteps into batches, like:
First solder all wires to all the breakoutboards, then solder all the boards to the extconnectors, then solder all the other connectors.
Also you can prepare all the cables first, with stripping the ends and pretinning. Maybe this can be done by some other person in parralel.
