NOW THE V2 VERSION AVAILABLE FOR THE ULTIMATE 64 USERS!
Has arrived the new Commodore Multimedia Breakout for C64! (will working with C128, C128D, SX-64 too) Pictures speak louder than few words:
This small gadget makes popular connectors to the bottom of your Commodore 64! It contains right the following connectors:
- DIN 262º aluminum CNC machine forged connector to the computer side instead a silly plastic connector
- composite RCA for video out
- 2x RCA for stereo/doublemono (it can change via the jumper on the panel – stereo sound option from the DIN connector pin7)
- S-VIDEO female connector for video out
- 3,5mm jack for headphones (stereo or double-mono)
Some minor note: Commodore 326298 mainboards has five pins inside the DIN connector, so no chroma/luma output, the S-VIDEO connector not working with these mainboards, but of course the composite working well!
There are some options on the panel, selectable via jumpers (only in the new version V2):
- Color reduce – if short, a 300Ω smd resistor will reduce the color for the modern LED TV (default jumper option is OFF)
- Stereo/Double-Mono – stereo sound option from the DIN connector pin 5 or 7 (default jumper option is double-mono)
- Pin selector for stereo sound – another option for the stereo sound out from the DIN – can selectable the stereo 2nd channel wired to the RCA/jack from: pin7 (normal) or pin5 (for the Ultimate64 users) (default jumper option is pin7)
- SID ground hack “Noise reduction” – This hack for the SID noise reduction, but somebody loves this mod and somebody hates, your choice! (default is opened, you can solder it – its easy to short out) Note: not for Ulitmate64 users!
Panel made from high quality parts, like individually CNC metal forged DIN 262º aluminum connector, LUMBERG made RCA connectors, metal S-VIDEO and jack connectors. PCB color: shiny black!
