### Official MiSTer - YC (S-Video / Composite)
82
82
MiSTerFPGA now natively outputs s-video / composite directly from the core. The cores generate two signals that use the existing RGB pins, where the luma (Brightness) uses the green output and the chroma (Color) uses the red output.

### Alternative Methods of converting RGB to Composite or S-Video

Alternative methods of obtaining Composite or S-Video on a capable CRT TV set is by using a special adapter. At the moment these are available for sale from [Antoniovillena](https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/product/vga-composite-s-video-adapter/){target=_blank} and [Ultimatemister (PT)](https://ultimatemister.com/product/mister-vga-to-composite-s-video/){target=_blank}.

Alternative methods of obtaining Composite or S-Video on a capable CRT TV set is by using a external adapters which do not rely on the MiSTer's native Y/C output, but will take RGB or Component and transcode the signal to S-Video or Composite.

**These adapters have been reported to work well in S-Video mode, but Composite has problems with rainbow artifacting and excessive dot crawl. This is currently unavoidable and expected**
