Hooking up your TI-99 to a modern TV or monitor |
|
There are several ways to hook up your TI-99/4 or TI-99/4A to a HDMI or RCA S-Video TV or monitor. The most common is to hook up a kenalbe 5 pin to RCA cable. What you need is a kenable 5 Pin Male Din Plug to 4 x RCA Phono Male Plugs Audio Cable 2m (~6 feet). If your TV or Monitor accepts RCA S-Video and RCA audio input this is the only item you need to purchase. As of writing this in 2024, I have seen these ranging from $9 to $19 online. The TI-99 computer uses the Black RCA plug as Audio and the Yellow plug as Video. Plug Yellow into Yellow and Black into either Red or White audio jacks. |

If your TV or monitor only takes HTMI, then you will also need to purchase an RCA to HDMI adapter. What you need is a AV to HDMI Converter, or RCA to HDMI, 720/1080P Mini RCA Composite CVBS Video Hookup Yellow to Yellow and Black to either Red or White and plugin the adapter to HDMI port of choice. You will also need a USB power source for the adapter. I have purchased a few of these over the last 7 years and they have maintained the price of about $20. |
