== VPORT == | |||
The VPORT is a proprietary connector designed for the original Xbox console, hence the "XBOX READY" branding. It functions as a second YPbPr component input, and an Xbox component cable can be used in reverse to connect other consoles through this port.<ref name="crtdb-f27tf700" /> Dedicated VPORT-to-component breakout cables (RCA model GP650XB) were also produced, and custom cables are still made by aftermarket sellers.<ref name="tkcustom">[https://tkscustomsupermodz.com/products/intec-accessory-rca-xbox-ready-vport-tv-cables Intec Accessory & RCA "Xbox Ready" VPort TV Cables – TK's Custom Super Modz]</ref> | |||
