The Vidiot (formally known as “Video Hybrid”) is a small custom board that takes the digital RGB signal from Denise (4 bits per Red, Green and Blue component) and translates it to a 16-level analogue signal per component suitable for display on analog TVs and or monitors.

It is found on the Amiga 2000 (but not on the early “german” Amiga 2000-A), Amiga 500, Amiga 3000, CDTV and the Amiga 500 Plus and is universal (PAL / NTSC agnostic).
The Amiga 1000 and the early “German” Amiga 2000-A (which is based on the Amiga 1000 anyway) implement an onboard equivalent to the Vidiot.
The Amiga 3000 and Amiga 3000T use two Vidiots, the second one for the onboard flicker fixer's VGA port.

This "Vidiot" was built using the designs at https://github.com/SukkoPera/OpenAmigaVideoHybrid and has been professionally assembled by a well-known PCB manufacturer.

More information on the Vidiot can be found here: http://theamigamuseum.com/the-hardware/vidiot/

NB This will require a 22-pin pin header (2.54mm pitch) to mount the Vidiot.
