- Why - Description - Schematics - Install - Pics and final result

In order to eliminate/mitigate the sync issues on the cable we can do several options, one is to use the common XOR mixer as usual, this other approach reduces the BOM and enables the PCB to fit in the scart cable connector without any problem.
