Questions tagged [display]

Display relates to the use and output of display systems for the Rasberry Pi. The built-in video connectors are HDMI, RCA composite (yellow plug), and a 4-pole 3.5 mm jack.

The video output options change slightly based on which version of the Raspberry Pi is in question.

  • Raspberry Pi 1: HDMI and RCA (composite video)
  • Raspberry Pi 2: HDMI and 4-pole 3.5 mm jack (stereo audio and composite video)
  • Raspberry Pi Zero: Mini-HDMI and composite video (header is unpopulated on board, soldering is required)
