Yeah American TVs never seem to have them. I’m not sure why.
They were awful actually, they were far larger than they needed to be and they were very much like USB in that you needed to turn them over three times in order to insert them. It’s not even as if the picture quality was even any better than composite so I don’t know why we bothered.

I think it was based on the 1960s VTR connector on studio equipment, or Cinch-Jones connectors from WWII. Quite large, yes. I think the connector could carry composite as well as RGB signals, and have various pass through modes.
