I stumbled on this tidbit in Pi-for-newbies site: "The TV pads allow you to connect an RCA jack to the board instead of using the HDMI out."
Hmmmmmmm.....
That sounds helpful at home and at the museum too.
Continuing to think aloud: the big monitor already installed above our workbench has composite input. I know it works because I tested it with a Laser 128 not long ago. Unlike the HDMI monitor on the museum ceiling (facing the door), the composite monitor in the workshop can be comfortably viewed from anywhere. Plus a long RCA cable is something I have laying around, vs. buying a long HDMI cable. :)
