Hint:
Need Composite output? Cheap S-Video to Composite adapters can be found in most electronic stores, and can be built using the appropriate connectors and just one capacitor.

Over the years, IBM used two different ports to provide TV-out connection. These are:

  • a proprietary mini-DIN socket, which needs a proprietary adapter that comes in form of a cable
  • a standard S-Video Port

Linux Support

See Video Controllers.

Models featuring this technology

with a proprietary Composite Video port

NOTE!
This requires an external video cable to convert the proprietary port to Composite video, which was shipped with the ThinkPad (FRU: 05K2821)

with a proprietary Composite Video and S-Video combo port

NOTE!
This requires an external video cable to convert the proprietary port to Composite video, which was shipped with the ThinkPad.
