Commodore PAL Video Card

The Standard video card used in the UK and most parts of Europe.

This card is the standard Video card found in all CDTV's sold in the UK and the one most often found in Europe and Australia, It consists of an Arial in and out and composite out, This card is the only one to make use of the CD/TV button found on all Joypads, Trackerballs and on the front of the CDTV, The button lets you flip between the TV ariel and CDTV signal at a push of a button, You will still have to change channel but on ever other Amiga you would have had to go around the back of the TV and unpluged the computer and pluged in the ariel, Not ideal if all you want is something to watch while a program loads.
The ariel in can only be seen when you have something connected to the ariel out, The composite plug is directly connected to the CDTVs video out signal (It doest even touch the Ariels side of things).
The card was only sold as a replacement part (OEM) so I cant find out a price.
This card will only work in PAL systems (If you didnt guess).
I have not found anyone selling replacment PAL cards to date so if yours breaks the best bet is to buy a CD1301 (Which has no Ariel out though).
