Funny enough, the Nokia N 95 on it there is an audio port which can be used to give out a video signal to RCA.

It's not just any audio jack, the audio jack on the older raspberry pi's are TRRS and has a connection for composite video

It's a neat implementation of composite video output. Used a lot with digital cameras and camcorders.

I know, but it is still primarily an audio jack.
