 This mode enables you to feed an analog video transmitter with the RPi camera, Microphone and Portsdown test patterns.  This is really useful when operating portable with 5.6GHz FPV or 23cms ATV equipment as you no longer need an additional camera, test card generator or microphone.

 Rather than reproduce the connection details, here is a link to a good website describing the pin connections on the 4-terminal 3.5mm jack. http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-2-Quick-n-Easy-RCA/
 It should be noted that there is no standard connection for this jack - do not assume that the mini jack to phonos lead you have in the junk box will be correct!
