The dbGrafx Booster, designed by DB Electronics, adds many video outputs to the TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine using a Sony CXA1645 video encoder IC. Three output connectors are found on the dbGrafx Booster each carrying the following signals:
Mini DIN9 (a.k.a. Sega Genesis 2 A/V connector)
RGB + CSYNC (i.e SCART)
Compatible with standard Sega Genesis 2 cables including 75 ohms resistors and 220uF coupling capacitors
from version 1.2 onwards, selectable video level or TTL csync via jumper
CVBS (a.k.a. composite video)
Compatible with out of the box yellow/white/red Sega Genesis 2 A/V cable
Transcoded from RGB by CXA1645
Stereo Audio Only
While the Sega Genesis 2 A/V pinout permits mono audio, it is not supported by the dbGrafx Booster (why the hell would you want mono audio?)
