   - Modify the design to output video on the HDMI TX port instead. The easiest way to do this is to use the rgb2dvi IP core available in Digilent's [[https://github.com/Digilent/vivado-library|vivado-library IP Repo]]. That IP core will convert the signals the project was using to drive the VGA port into DVI signals that can be connected to the HDMI TX port. As a bonus, this will improve the color depth to 24-bits.   - Modify the design to output video on the HDMI TX port instead.

-  - Purchase a [[http://store.digilentinc.com/pmod-vga-video-graphics-array/|Pmod VGA]] and attach it to two of the Pmod ports found on the Zybo Z7. This will provide VGA output port on the Zybo Z7 much like the one found on the ZYBO. The downside to this is that the Pmod VGA has only 12-bits of color depth compared to the 16-bit VGA found on the ZYBO, so the project will need to be modified to truncate the additional color signals. For an example of how to use the Pmod VGA with the Zybo Z7, see the "Zybo Z7 Pmod VGA Demo" available from the [[programmable-logic:zybo-z7:start|Zybo Z7 Resource Center]].+  - Purchase a [[https://digilent.com/shop/pmod-vga-video-graphics-array/|Pmod VGA]] and attach it to two of the Pmod ports found on the Zybo Z7.
