From the project
Sharp MZ-80K Replica Public
A better composite output board using the AD724 chip. This has audio line out only, and does not include the audio amplifier.
The simple composite output on the original board (MZ80AV) didn't look so good on many screens/televisions, so tried this and it's greatly improved. It has the PAL/NTSC colour oscillator, and as the MZ80 is mono out, included 3 potentiometers to include a select of the colour outputted to the screen.
