photo of 6500 with tv-out

I somehow had never ever seen a photo of any performa/powermac with the tv-out option actually installed till I noticed this auction

just in case anyone has not ever seen one too and was wondering what it would look like

Thats just video out correct or am I missing something?

That pic doesn't have one! It's to the top right to the DB15 connector is where the TV tuner goes, a metal box that slides in and the plastic cover goes back over the antenna connector sticking out.

I think he's referring to the S-Video/Composite Out doohickey installed in the vestigial PDS Slot opening between serial ports and ComSlotII NIC's RJ-45.

I'd not seen one until a recent thread asking about it in an auction link I think? Everything else about that system is input only. That bit's for TV/projector output I think.

Interesting! I have a 6500/275 Creative Studio Edition and the video out card is populating one of the PCI slots.




The card in question appears to be the same as this unit from Focus Enhancements that connects to the video out slot.

Oh and it's actually referenced in the Apple repair manual:

thanks for that photo badcaps, nice to also see a desktop performa with it too
(and to be a little OT, a fm/tv combo card instead of the usual tv card?!)
