Commodore 64/128 AV Adaptor

This adaptor provides S-Video, Composite and stereo audio outputs for Commodore 8-bit computers. It connects directly to the machine's 8-pin video port and was designed by Sven Petersen. The unit supports a range of classic systems including the C64, C128, Plus/4 and C16 models.

Suitable outputs for vintage displays

Builders restoring a Commodore 64, 128, Plus/4 or C16 who need S-Video or Composite video with left and right audio channels will find this adaptor fits the 8-pin port. Users whose monitor or capture device lacks these analogue inputs, or who require digital video formats such as HDMI, cannot use this adaptor.

8-pin video port compatibility

The adaptor plugs into the Commodore 8-pin video connector found on the C64, C128, Plus/4, C16 and C116. Verifying that the specific computer model presents this exact 8-pin pinout is the single specification that decides whether the adaptor will function.

Questions about this item

Which video output should I use — composite or S-Video?

Use S-Video for a sharper picture on displays that accept it; fall back to composite for older televisions that only have a yellow RCA input.

What does the 8-pin Commodore video output mean for my C64 or 128?

The adaptor plugs directly into the 8-pin video port on the Commodore 64, 128, Plus/4, 16, C116 or 128D and splits the signal into S-Video, composite and stereo audio.

Does the adaptor convert the signal to HDMI or another digital standard?

No — it provides analogue S-Video, composite video and left/right audio only, so the display must accept one of those analogue inputs.
