 +RGB (Chromaencoders create s-video or composite video from RGB.  Most post-NES/Famicom consoles have one inside, though many (like the GameCube and PCEngine) use a dedicated encoder that cannot be separated from the machine.  The most common encoders are from Sony, the CXA series powered just about every pre-Dreamcast system.  The CXA1145 didn't offer real S-video, but the CXA1645 and CXA2075 did (see [[Micomsoft XMD-3]]).  The last chip, the CXA2075, is the best in the series but is very rare.
