These video outputs are optional equipment and may not be included on your card. The Composite Video Output Connector (RCA jack) on the mounting bracket of the VELOCITY 4400 adapter allows you to use a standard television set as the monitor for your computer. The output of this connector is in the standard NTSC format for video line signals. To maintain compatibility with the NTSC standard, the output of this connector supports resolutions of 640x480 and 800x600 at a refresh rate of 60Hz.
