Pandora TV Out Solution (Beta) with independent AV-jack

Unfortunately, nobody really knows the final release date of Pandora´s official TV-Out cable (and i´m also so tired to waiting for it), so I decided me, to create an alternative solution.
This solution is absolutly independent from the very hard to find Pandora TV-OUT Plug.
I´ve used for it an separate, small 3,5mm A/V-jack and took directly from the Pandora Mainboard the lines: 1.Ground, 2. Y-Video and 3. Composite-Video
as source. Finally it was necessary to generate an FBAS-Video Signal from Y/C.
It´s possible, if you put the Y-Signal directly to the Video-Out and the Croma-Signal connect with an 2,2nF Capacitor. My little video shows the first sucess.
After than, i´ll build in the jack inside the Pandora and add the Stereo-audio lines.
Also thinking about S-VHS Out, but the space inside the Pandora is very limited. But we will see... ;o)

@aquikev : Hi aquikev , thanks for your fast feedback, the reason for this solution i´ve explained in my discription above (but i think, you was watching so fast my video, while i wrote the desciption about it ;o)

The hardware part is really very easy: basicly you need only three lines (GND, Y and C).

You can pick it directly from the Mainboard. Finally you have to generate am FBAS Signal (like explained in my discription) BR, andY

@andymanone: are you doing this because the tv cables are still not available or is this something different from what the tv out cables will offer when they are made?

In any case, bravo! Any chance of publishing the schematic? I can see only an I.C., resistor and capacitor so lots of people would be able to build it unless there's more hidden magic somewhere.
