* Note:
If a customer system has no Composite video input, a CVBS input can be realized by transmitting CVBS stream,
with an RCA-to-S-Video adapter, through the pin No.4 of 10-pin AV input connector, which is assigned for
connection of S-Video Y input. A driver needs to be modified to accommodate this user scenario.
