Notes:
- In VGA mode (scandoubler enabled), H-SYNC and V-SYNC are carried separately on their respective pins.
- In RGB mode (scandoubler disabled), H-SYNC carries composite sync, and V-SYNC carries 1.
- Pin 14 carries 3V3, which can be connected to SCART pin 16 to indicate RGB to the display.
- There is no convenient source of voltages between 9.5-12V to indicate 4:3 aspect ratio to the display on SCART pin 8, so this is usually left unconnected.
