These kits should work on any Intellivision system and with any scaler, cable, etc. See note below about TTL Sync. 


Included in the kit:

RGB/S-Video/Composite Video Board. 

RGB Breakout w 8 pin mini din.

S-Video breakout with S-Video connector.

3 RCAs Red, White, Yellow.

1 SPST switch for toggling pallets if you want. 

AY-3-8900 and AY-3-8915 breakout (use one or the other not both). 



Basic Instructions:

Find either the AY-3-8915 or the AY-3-8900. Locate pin one (look for a circular indent). 

Then you flip the board and find pin one on the solderable side.

Now you can use the breakout board. (This board is not required but makes locating pins easy) 

Just be sure to be certain you have the correct pin/IC. 

The AY-3-8915 requires you to know where pin 20 would be. 

I am hopeful that the included pictures will be self sufficient but let me know if you are in doubt about anything. 


Now you just solder wires from the breakout board to the Video Kit. 

CV would be Composite Video. 

Y/C have their respective pins on the S-Video jack. 

RGB, Sync, and 5V have their respective pads on the RGB jack. 


Each one would have a ground.


Now set the jumpers:

Set NTSC if you have a NTSC console.

If you have a PAL console then set both PAL jumpers and bridge the EXT pads.


There is a jumper on the bottom that is set to the F pin. Since the F pin is unused set this pin to disable it (this prevents floating inputs to the buffer). 


Lastly is the COLSEL pads; this chooses between the two pallets. The primary pallet is used until you bridge these two connections (can be done with the provided switch so that you can toggle). 


Audio is taken from the audio spot indicated on the motherboard and sent to whatever you want to send it to. If you wanted to hook everything up then you would daisy chain it to both audio RCAs; and to both the "AR" and "AL" pin on the RGB breakout board. 


Notes: 

  • Those of you wanting to use a SEGA cable (that has resistors in it). Can use the alternate RGB pads located next to the thin long IC (BH7236AF). These pads bypass the three 75 ohm resistors. 
  • If your TV needs TTL sync this may not work with it unless there is some device inbetween your TV and the kit (like a sync stipper/conditioner). This is because Sync from the IC needs terminated to get a clean signal. There are workarounds if needed. 
  • The RF channel select switch can be repurposed to be a switch to control the pallets if you know what you are doing. 
  • The RF mod can be removed if so desired. I usually cut the inputs and use the RF jack for composite. 
  • If you have any doubts or issues about the install feel free to message me.
