Spectrum+3 Composite Video

Post by derek »

Hi,

Would the Composite Video mod for the 48K Spectrum, work on a Spectrum+3. I am hoping the modulators in the +3 is similar to 48K machine.

I will have a go and report back

Regards,
Derek

The 128 ZX Spectrums including the +3 (and +2A, +2B) have audio sound modulated onto the video, which reduces the clarity of the composite signal that is available at the modulator input.

The RGB output on these gives a far better picture. Are you not able to make use of the RGB signals?

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
