GX4000 and KC Compact SCART Video Connector
The GX4000 and KC Compact have a standard Scart connector

- KC Compact Note: Aside from the above RGB/FBAS signal, the KC Compact additionally contains a UHF modulator (with PAL encoded colors & with Mono sound) (for whatever reason, PAL encoding is used, despite of SECAM being the East-German television standard)
- GX 4000 Note: The GX 4000 additionally has PAL modulator with TV output, too. However, there is none such in the French GX4000 (which would require a SECAM modulator), the french GX4000 outputs plain RGB. In french GX4000, scart Pin19 carries only Sync (unlike the PAL versions which have Composite+Sync on that pin).
