Microsoft released a handful of AV packs for the Xbox. They are connected to the port labelled "Audio Video Input/Output" on the backside of the console.

Pinout

The following table gives the pins in the way they are arranged on the female end of the XBOX AVIP cables. The male end is reversed and on the console.

Description Audio Right Audio Right GND SPDIF Digital Audio V-Sync (VGA Mode) Mode GND Mode GND Mode GND GND Variable 9 GND Variable 11 GND

Description Vcc Audio Left Audio Left GND H Sync (VGA Mode) Mode Select 1 Mode Select 2 Mode Select 3 (+12V) 22 GND Variable 24 GND Variable

Supported signals / AV cables

Below is a table which lists all known officially AV cables released by Microsoft and their respective signal. The constants used in the av-prefixed Kernel-functions are also listed.

19 18 17 SMC Constant Region Official Microsoft product name Signal 24 22 11 9 Kernel av-Constant
0 0 0 0 PAL Advanced SCART Cable SCART (15 kHz RGB) Stereo V R G B AV_PACK_SCART = 3
0 0 1 1 NTSC High Definition AV Pack Component SPDIF - Pr Y Pb AV_PACK_HDTV = 4
0 1 0 2 - Not officially available / supported VGA (31 kHz RGB) Stereo - R G B AV_PACK_VGA = 5
0 1 1 3 NTSC / PAL RF Adapter RF Mono V C Y - AV_PACK_RFU = 2
1 0 0 4 NTSC Advanced AV Pack S-Video Stereo V C Y - AV_PACK_SVIDEO = 6
1 0 1 5 - Not officially available / supported Unknown Mono V C Y - AV_PACK_NONE = 0
1 1 0 6 PAL Standard AV Cable Composite Stereo V C Y - AV_PACK_STANDARD = 1
1 1 1 7 - No cable connected - - - - - AV_PACK_NONE = 0

A signal value of 0 means connection to ground (Pins 7, 6, 5), whereas a value of 1 means an open-connection[citation needed]

The region only identifies which territory the cable was originally available / intended for. The kernel still might support other video-standards (NTSC / PAL / SECAM) using the same cable.
