In the picture below you will see the main chip, the CXD8561, and the video chip, the A2106. You will also see a red rectangle. The sync signals are within this outline. | In the picture below you will see the main chip, the CXD8561, and the video chip, the A2106. You will also see a red rectangle.

In the picture below you will find where to tap the Horizontal and Vertical Syncs. You will note that there is no Composite Sync to be easily tapped into this time. | In the picture below you will find where to tap the Horizontal and Vertical Syncs.

You can make your own Composite Sync signal with two very simple components. First, run the Horizontal Sync through a 1N4148 diode (very common - can be found at Radio Shack). Second, run the Vertical Sync through a 820 Ohm resistor. Once the two signals have been conditioned this way then you can simply splice them together. | You can make your own Composite Sync signal with two very simple components.
