13 pin din connection

SO I recently bought a cheap 9" tat display for a Pi project. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see this odd looking connector. It is designed for 4 inputs (with sound I think). Has anyone seen anything like this, or know how to wire it? I just need on input. And It can just be video, I'll deal with audio later. I think I'll have to use RCA as the input which is fine. But I can't get anything but a blue screen.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Is there an accessory cable that converts from that connector to RCA style (composite/phono video/audio) connectors?
If not, you may need to check with the vendor for a pinout (or attempt to reverse engineer by taking it apart but that may be difficult).

There is a connector. One end is the 13 pin connection, the other end has four 4-pin connections, was well as power, ground, and wires that when hot will automatically select the video input. Looks like I will try to reverse engineer. The seller on eBay doesn't know the manufacturer and there are no labels and all serial numbers come up empty

Wow, I think I may have something. I'm getting some video, but there is a blue line across the bottom of the display.

I can't find any pinout diagrams online.

Thanks man, but that pinout does not seem to match up with mine. I can't really test it at the moment either. The only RCA output device I have is a DLR camera, and I remember reading their composite is kinda funky. Hopefully my 3.5mm to composite will arrive soon for my Pi.
