The Extended Video Slot provides several different voltages designed
to supply Video devices. The A2000 power supply is currently rated
at 200 Watts, which supplies the main board and all other expansion
ports as well as the Video Slot.
These pins provide additional grounding for digital or video based
devices. Pins 1. 5. 9. 12, 22. and 32.
These pins provide grounding in common with the separate on-
board audio ground. Pins 34, 36.
These are various clock signals useful for synchronous timing of vid-
eo peripherals.
For NTSC, this is a 7.16 MHz clock that leads the 7.16 MHz system
clock by about 70ns (90 degrees). Pin 15. For a PAL system, this is
7.09 Mhz.
For NTSC, this is a 3.58 MHz clock that's synched to the rising edge
of the 7.16 MHz system clock. Also known as /CCKQ in some places.
Pin 17. For a PAL system, this is 3.55 Mhz.
This is the real time clock time-base input, either 50Hz or 60Hz,
depending on the country involved and the setting of the Time Base
Jumper. The jumper can select either line frequency or vertical syn-
chronization as the clock's time base. Pin 14.
The main point of this slot is access to more of the video signals gen-
erated by the Amigas custom video chips. Most of the signals avail-
able here aren't available on any external port.
This is the analog level monochrome Composite Video signal also
available on the Composite Video jack of the B2000. Pin 13.
