Would anyone be so kind as to post a picture of what the cable looks like that comes with this thing?

I wasn't shipped one, so I'm trying to adapt one I have, or see if another one will work. I'm not positive what the display side looks like (is it a standard 1/8" headphone jack?)

Many thanks!

    It's a standard 1/8" stereo headphone jack. One channel carries video, the other carries audio (I'm not sure which). I just bought a 1/8" stereo headphone jack to twin RCA phone jack adapter. You can get them at Radio Shack. I just had one in my junk drawer.

    Mike,

    Thanks for confirming. I just figured it out, and am able to send tv signals out. Standard RCA-->1/8" jack will work. The video ends up being the "tip" of the 1/8" jack, or otherwise known as the "left" audio, or "white" of the white/red cable combo's. Found that out using the coin toss method for choosing which cable to plug in.

    Some cables have the red/white coding backwards. I don't know why.
