Can I use the Composite output instead of the HDMI?

Last updated on July 31st, 2025

Yes, you can!

For RPi 4, please follow the below steps.

You can use the composite (analog) video format on Raspberry Pi 4 by plugging an RCA cable into the audio jack port.

Beyond that, you will also have to type the following settings in the “Raspberry config.txt Override Directives” text box:
​

disable_fkms=1

hdmi_force_hotplug=0

hdmi_enable_4k=0

hdmi_enable_4kp60=0

enable_tvout=1
​

To do that, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the Yodeck portal.

  2. Go to “Screens” and edit the Screen in question.

  3. Go to the “Advanced” tab.

  4. Enable the “Allow Raspberry config.txt Override” toggle button.

  5. Click “Save”.

Wait for the player to finish the configuration, and after a couple of minutes, you should now see the output on the composite port of your Raspberry Pi 4.
