cut a standard TRRS cable and change pins for the video Signal to get TRSR (left/right/ground/video)

enable raspi composite video out (bookworm)

change /boot/firmware/config.txt (by default NTSC – to change this see documentation)

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,composite
enable_tvout=1

unplug the HDMI cable and reboot the pi

test: when signal is on composite monitor type the following in ssh

DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox --kiosk http://ontime-server.local:4001/timer
this will show you the ontime timer. or simply write zimt.at

#sdtv_aspect=2 # for 14:9
