What connetor is this on my GeForce FX 5600?

**DarkAurora** · March 14th, 2004

My video card comes with three yellow connectors. The two video-out connectors are composite video and s-video but I'm not sure what the video-in connector in is. It has 7 holes on it. The card is made by eVGA by the way.

do you have something like this? http://www.pcclub.com/product_detail...emno=A9602744#

from some reviews it seems nigh impossible to use...

woo... I'm shocked looking at the price. Just multiply 3, that the price in my country.

Does it look anything like the middle connector on this card:

You can buy adapters to turn that into a yellow connector.

It's most likely a 9 pin Svideo/Composite input. all grounds and actual inouts are seperated for better signal quality. (plus 3 extra grounds for shileding purposes)

No, my card is not a personal cinema card. I'll find a link to the exact card and post it.

Yes, I have the exact hole on my video card. You plug the black connector in that and the three yellow connectors are on the other end.

I made a mistake before, it has 7 holes, not 9. I don't think it's an S-video connector because an S-video connector is only 4 holes.

It must be a vivo cable. (video in-video out), There are 2 models, 7 and 9 pins.

**DarkAurora** · March 15th, 2004

Are there converters, so I can actually plug stuff into the video-in such as a PS2 or Gamecube?

**n_w95482** · March 15th, 2004

My old GF4 MX 420 had a S-Video ouput with 7 pins (I believe) and I just plugged in a normal S-Video cable and it worked fine. As for composite->S-Video converters, you probably could get one at Radio Shack.

Nah, I'll just buy a s-video cord for my Gamecube.
