Software update 201707120 introduces an Analog PAL Video Output mode. In update 201707311 audio routing from the USB microphone to the RPi audio output was added. This mode is particularly useful for driving analog video transmitters when operating portable without the need for an additional camera, test card generator or microphone. This is especially true for the 5.6GHz FPV transmitter shown elsewhere on the Wiki.
The Composite video output mode can be selected from the "Output" menu on the console, or from Menu 2 on the touchscreen.
Note that the video on the analog output is smooth, not jerky like the viewfinder which is limited to a slow refresh rate.
