About the OpenVideoModulator PCB

OpenVideoModulator is an open source PCB design by SukkoPera, published on GitHub under the Custom license license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 38.6 × 24.9 mm, with 20 components from 10 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the AD724. By type, the board carries 10 capacitors, 6 resistors, 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 crystal.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

Open Hardware RGB to Composite/S-Video Converter

It has a compact form factor, a low component count and it only requires a +5V power supply. This makes it useful with old computers that do not have a native composite or S-Video output, like the Amstrad CPC or the Commodore Amiga 500 (which actually has a composite output but it's only black & white). It also tries to maintain the smallest possible form factor, which might allow for an internal installation.
