Notes

The RGB input accepts TTL-level digital RGBI signals. Internally, this is routed through a digital to analog conversion circuit and mixed with the TV's color output via an AN5352N character interface chip. This IC is designed to accept 1Vpp analog RGB, so it should be possible to bypass the digital input and modify the TV to accept external analog RGB directly.
